Hey guys! New Recipe. This one is really simple.

Country Breakfast Scramble

You'll need:

Tofurkey Italian Sausage- can be found at Whole Foods or Trader Joes (morning star sausage patties are a great option as well)
Flax, Wheat or Multi-grain waffles
Butter substitute-We like Earth Balance
Agave Nectar (Trader Joes, Whole foods or health food store)
Firm Tofu (you can also use tofu that is already seasoned, we like garlic pepper which nowadays can be found at your local Wal-mart as well as health food stores)
Mixed salad greens
Onions
Tomatoes
Granulated Turmeric (found in the seasoning section-this is what gives the tofu it's egg like color)
Cheese (optional)
Mushrooms (optional)
Red, yellow, green peppers (optional)
Olive oil
Sea Salt
Pepper


Tofu Scramble:

Add olive oil to skillet-on medium heat. Crumble tofu into heated oil (remember:if you freeze the tofu the night before and let it thaw you'll have a more egg like consistency.)
Let the tofu brown.
While Tofu is browning, chop onions and peppers
Add salt to your tofu- taste. Add pepper to taste. Add a pinch or butter substitute. Add your granulated turmeric until you get the color your want (see pic above)
Add onions and peppers, let cook until your veggies soften or you can leave them crisp if you like.
Add your mixed greens last covering the top of the entire scramble, turn your oven eye to low, cover and let the moisture wilt the salad greens.

After about five-ten minutes-remove the top, stir everything together and serve.

Italian Sausage:

I freeze these too, but you don't need to.Slice your sausage into two or three slices with a nicely sharpened knife.put a bit of olive oil in the pan or butter substitute.
Toss in your sausage and let them brown on both sides.

Waffles:
Uh-I'm sure you guys know how to make frozen waffles:) slap on butter substitute and agave syrup.

Grits as a side dish never hurts:)-we recommend Polenta, but the grits you grew up on are fine.

Finally, Serve up your Country Breakfast Scramble and enjoy!

Recipe of The Month

Vegan Safari Chili

You will need:

1 package of beef vegan/veggie crumbles (we like Yves)
Half a package of black beans or 1 cup
wild rice (any type will do, but we like black rice, it keeps the chili "feel") half cup
1/2 red, yellow, green, orange pepper
1/2 yellow or red onion
5 organic tomatoes or 2 cans of organic diced tomatoes
garlic powder (to taste)
Taco Powder ( use less than half or a regular packet size)
Chili paste or powder (to taste-we like a lot)
Sea Salt (to taste)
Earth balance non-dairy butter
Mixed green salad
black olives (optional)
Soy cheese (optional)
Soy sour cream (optional)

I like to freeze my package of Yves "Meat" the night before , thaw and then use it-makes the consistency even more like beef. I also cook my beans and rice the night before or if I'm in a hurry, I sub canned beans (chili, red, white-whatever you chose) and cook rice along with chili and add it last.

First chop onions and peppers. Saute cooked beans, cooked rice, onions and peppers with "butter" adding taco mix together. Set Aside.

Cube your tomatoes and add them to a nice sized pot. Add Yves "meat", Chili Powder (to taste), Garlic (to taste)-let simmer for about five minutes.

Add your bean, rice, onion and pepper mix to tomatoes and "meat".

Now that everything is in the pot, Season to taste (you shouldn't need too much salt:) and let simmer.

Scoop into a bowl and top with "cheese", "sour cream" and black olives and mixed greens. Create a Frito Chili Pie or enjoy with crackers. Remember, be creative and add your own flair!

Have Fun and Enjoy!
