Saag Aloo & Spicy Potatoes



I've had a bad cold the last week. A few days ago hubby made this for me to help clear my sinuses (curry is great for clearing sinuses) Not sure what he did, but it was yummy!

Tofu-Cheese & Veggie Lasagna


Tonight we had dinner at my mother-in-law's. I made a "Cheezy" Tofu Lasagna, with a side of store bought potato rosemary bread and salad. This recipe is so easy, I know it off the top of my head (it's modified versions from several recipes). I got rave reviews, they especially liked the fresh tomatoes that I topped it with, it made a really nice touch.

Ingredients:
  • 12 strips of Lasagna noodles, cooked until they are mostly done.
  • 1 package of firm water packed tofu- drained
  • 1 container "Tofutti" non-hydrogenated cream cheese
  • 1 c. nutritional yeast
  • 1 bunch of spinach
  • 1/4 c. chopped onion
  • 1 small zucchini
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1 jar of spaghetti sauce
Directions:

While noodles are cooking, preheat oven to 375 F. In a small saucepan heat tofu, cream cheese and nutritional yeast together, over Med. heat, until melted- stirring often. In an oiled skillet combine onion, zucchini and pepper and saute until tender. In an 9x12 casserole dish, place one layer of cooked noodles on the bottom, cover with saute'd veggies, spinach leaves and half-jar of sauce. Add another layer of noodles and top with cheese mixture. Cover with noodles and top with spinach, sauce and diced tomato (you can add shredded soy cheese too, if you'd like). Bake at 375 for about 35-45 mins. Serve with garlic bread and enjoy with your family!

Spinach & Mushroom Risotto


I need to use up our mushrooms and corn on the cob that have been in our fridge for too long. I had a nice big dinner planned for tonight, but plans got canceled. So, it ended up being boxed spinach and mushroom risotto with added saute'd mushrooms, and a side of steamed corn on the cob. It tasted pretty good for being a boxed dinner. Sometimes vegan mothers need a quick fix on the cheap!

P.S. I know I take crappy photos! I am working on improving my food pics, so please be patient with me and thanks for enduring my crappy photography!
