Nicole’s Go-To Dinner 

On an average night, this is something Nicole loves to make! In this particular recipe we used asparagus, however, it will vary between any other green vegetable (i.e spinach, broccoli, kale, or brussel sprouts). Enjoy 🙂

Ingredients:

• Splash of veggie broth
• 1 packaged Organic Sprouted Tofu
• 1 package mushrooms
• 1 bunch asparagus
• Red pepper flakes (to taste)
• Nutritional Yeast (to taste)

Directions:

1. Drain water from tofu by wrapping it in a paper towel and letting it sit for about 10 minutes.
2.  In a pan over medium-high heat, add veggie broth.
3. Saute mushrooms, covered, for about 15 minutes.
4. Add asparagus and saute until done. Add more veggie broth as needed.
5. Gently crumble tofu into a fresh pan.
6. Cook tofu for about 10 minutes, adding red pepper flakes and nutritional yeast at the very end.
7. Serve warm and enjoy 🙂

Soup season is almost among us! If you’re excited like we are, you know that cold weather means warm vegetable soup! We made 2 different kinds this past weekend… Blended Vegetable and Creamy Mushroom. This is something Nicole likes to make often as meal prep and then freezes some for the future. You can find the Blended Veggie below and the Vegan Cream of Mushroom one here. Enjoy!

Ingredients 

• 2, 8 oz packet mushrooms

• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Rosemary
• 1 tsp Thyme
• 1 tsp Oregano

Directions:

1. Start by adding a splash of water to mushrooms in a large pot on medium heat
2. Chop garlic up, set aside and let sit for 10 minutes
3. Chop up onion and add into mushrooms
4. Add the garlic to the onions and mushrooms
5. Cut up celery, and set aside
6. Cut up Jalapeños (you can take the seeds out of the jalapeños to make it less spicy)
7. After the mushrooms, onions, and garlic have been cooked to your liking add celery and jalapenos
8. Fill up the pot with water (about 60 ounces)
9. Cook for about 45 minutes on medium heat
10. Add Kale to the pot and continue cooking for 15 minutes of cooking

You can use an immersion blender, or put the soup into any high-speed blender that you have 🙂
