Tofu Scramble, Po' Boy, Beanballs and Lemon Squares

We had lots of yummy food today. We started off with a scramble with soy sauce-marinated tofu, fingerling potatoes, red pepper, onions, and fresh herbs.

Then, one of the best things I have had in a while. The Chile Cornmeal-Crusted Tofu Po' Boy from V-con. Holy crap was this good. It was a bit labor intensive but well worth it. We made a tartar sauce to go with the fried tofu, cole slaw and pickles.

For din din, we made some Spaghetti & Beanballs, also from V-con. Lori helped out with these quite a bit. We just made the beanballs and used a jarred sauce. Ours turned out a bit mushy, but they were still delicious. I think we will bake them next time instead of frying.

I made desert, too. Once again, from V-con (I love that book, btw), we had the Lemon Bars. Lori just walked by and said how good they were as I writing this. And she is right; they were super good.

I've really been wanting to give that encrusted tofu a try. Definitely soon! Everything else looks great, too. Thank you for your comment on my blog, BTW. Tempeh still comes in third behind tofu and seitan to me, but I definitely like it. It all depends on the preparation. :)

Wuite a day of cooking!! Everything looks super tasty. Especially dessert... mmmmm. I think everyone has been having that mushy experience with the bean balls. I need to try that tofu in a sandwich, I just ate mine plain when I made it.
Can you make me breakfast sometime?

Tofu and potato scrambles are one of my favorite meals (and so easy too), not to mention, it is one way I can get the omni to happily eat tofu. :-)

That sandwich looks wonderful. I have been eyeing that recipe in VCon, may have to have this for a weekend meal when I have more time to cook.

You must have been busy in the kitchen! Those lemon bars look GOOD. I am jealous at work, wishing I could eat my screen. :-)

Oh my, talk about an endless sandwich!

As to your comment on my blog-- I don't think I've ever used an immersion blender, although I think we have one. Now I want to give it a try!

Hi Heather! I'm so glad you are starting to incorporate vegan food in your life. When I first became vegan, I made my way through all the fake meats and veggie burgers and what not, but what I found the most rewarding and satisfying was making food for myself. A great book for budding vegans is "How it All Vegan" by Sarah Kramer and Tanya Barnard. It has a lot of really good, easy-to-make recipes as well as tips on becoming and staying vegan. It also delves into non-food stuff like vegan soaps, clothes, and household cleaning supplies.

That lemon square looks like it re-defines delicious. I will dream of it and pray that Melisser makes some for our next vegan brunch. Or maybe I will stop being lazy and do it to it!
