I'm having tofu quiche again. No salad with it tonight because I want salad for lunch today, so I will come up with a different side. Hmm, maybe I will have applesauce with it.
 
I am curious about Tofu Quiche....recipe?
Sure! I tweak my recipe a lot, but the basics are one block of extra firm tofu, pressed; 1/2 cup of unsweetened nondairy milk;
and 1/2 cup of vegan shredded cheese

The following ingredients are what I happened to have on hand for veggies and protein:
Half a 10 oz. box of frozen chopped spinach, thawed
4 to 6 ounces of chopped homemade seitan
Caramelized onions, chopped
Half a cup of sliced green olives
A few slices of sun-dried tomatoes

Spices also vary, but here is what I used this time around:
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt or to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper

Pie crust (I make my own, but a prepared one would be fine, too, I'm sure)

In a food processor, blend the tofu, milk and spices until smooth.
Transfer to a large bowl and mix in the rest of the ingredients.

I think I used a 10-inch pie plate, but a 9-inch would be good, too. An 8-inch might be a little small.

Pour into prepared pie crust (some people like to precook the crust, but I never do).
Bake at 425 F for 30 to 35 minutes until firm to the touch. Let cool a few minutes before slicing.
 
last night we had pesto gnocchi with sauted garlic, onions and Yve's Meatballs with a small amount of sweet chili sauce added to the meatballs

tonight I think we are having hummus based caesar salad with Gardein fish but I am tired from grocery shopping so we will see....

nope, no caesar salad last night - instead we chopped some onion into a pot and sauted it in water, along with some bell pepper and the white parts of green onions, then put in a heaping tablespoon of masala curry powder, added a small can of coconut milk (whoever invented the small can is a genius), then a can of rinsed chick peas, and half a cup of frozen baby peas

served over rice with the green parts of the green onions sprinkled on top (I put some garlic powder into the rice cooker with the rice and that made it amazing)

so simple and delicious

I bought the powdered curry masala by mistake, thinking I was buying more turmeric, and it is so nice not to have to combine all those spices but to have them in one package.

Made a pot of curry....however, I don’t have any of the Thai green curry paste that I usually use...
The jar of paste I got at Tesco is not great, it’s ok
Onion,Potatoes, Carrots, Frozen peas, coconut milk and tofu
Not anyway near as good as it usually is
