Ok, so haven't been on here for a couple days due a case of feeling like crap, a.k.a. the flu, I think, coming on suddenly yesterday afternoon. Mind you, I have not had the flu in about as long as I can remember. Of course, this all came on at the end of one of papa nothings busiest times at work right now and he couldn't take any time off work to allow me to rest and recouperate. Needless to say, taking care of three kids when you are sick with the flu and no help really sucks! I have been bribing them with iPad apps for good behavior! Anyways, enough of the pity party...let's get on to dinner!
Since I am still under the weather, I decided something easy would be on the menu again; papa nothing made them grilled cheese last night while I laid on the couch watching them under the warmth of my blanket. Since our oldest has an egg allergy, I found a recipe in our trusty "Blissful Bites" cookbook that uses tofu instead of egg. Not to fret folks, I just got a new "less involved" cookbook and have found some great eats on Epicurious! You will be treated to those finds next week, as well as whatever eventful or rather uneventful events occur in that timeframe as well!
Tofu Eggless Salad
1 package extra firm tofu
2 celery stalks, thinly diced
1/4 cup vegan mayo (I just used the regular ole mayo taking up room in my fridge)
1 Tbsp relish
1Tbsp dijon mustard
1Tbsp tamari
1 tsp turmeric (it adds that pretty yellow coloring)
1 tsp celery salt
dash of black pepper
* steam the tofu for 10 minutes and let cool
* crumble the tofu into a large bowl; add the rest of the ingredients and mmix thoroughly but gently
* serve as a sandwich filling or over a bed of greens
Sorry, no picture here...it is eggless salad...in bread...
Alright folks, the wee ones are going to bed and so is this mama!
What is your sick, lazy, or just don't want to cook go-to meal?
