Awesome marinade!
Combine 1tbsp honey, 3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari, 1 tbsp seasoned rice wine vinegar, 1 large minced garlic clove, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. I used this to marinate some chicken I put in a stir fry with brown rice, onions, carrots and mushrooms. I think it would be a good marinade for some cubed tofu too!

I am an Edgy Veg: Raw Thai Salad →
edgyveg:
This salad was inspired by my love for pad thai. Fun salads are key to keeping up an exciting raw diet. No one wants to eat plain lettuce three meals a day… common now.
2 zucchinis, sliced into strips (I use a vegetable peeler)
2 large handfuls of bean sprouts
3/4 cup chopped peanuts
new recipes i'm working on this week
i just got ingredients for two bowls: one is a really warm wintery one i made a couple weeks ago that i’m going to tweak, it’s got tempeh chickpeas brown rice sweet potatoes and kale <3 and the other is a noodle bowl with shiitake mushrooms, arame seaweed, red bell pepper, carrots and cubed tofu!

Everything But the Kitchen Sink Scramble
Terrible quality picture I know, but I was so hungry my hands were shaking!! I made this tofu scramble on my last day at the beach last week, when I needed to use up all of the vegetables in the fridge. Basically you can put whatever you want in a tofu scramble and it will probably taste good. But here’s what I put in mine!
1 pkg extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed of all excess water,...

Stuffed Peppers
Me and Kevin made these tonight for dinner. They’re REALLY tasty…we used quinoa for the filling of ours, but you could use brown rice, cous cous, or really any grain you want! Also feel free to mix it up with the vegetables and just use whatever you have on hand!
I kind of messed up the proportions with this and ended up with a TON of filling for only two peppers…so I adjusted...

Sesame Noodles
These noodles were pretty easy to make and really tasty! I cheated a little and used a store bought sesame sauce instead of making my own entirely from scratch. These noodles could be served at any temperature, but since it’s been so hot here lately (in the 100s), I’d suggest chilling them for about an hour before serving.
You will need:
8 oz whole wheat linguini pasta
1 package...

simple stir fry
I made this stir fry for Kevin and a friend and myself for lunch this past weekend, it was pretty good. I FINALLY got PERFECT tofu, I was so proud of myself for those golden lil cubes. Perfect texture. To get the tofu the perfect amount of firmness, I drained it of its water, and wrapped it in many layers of paper towels. Then I set the block on a plate, then put another plate ontop of the block...
