Breakfast Burritos by Me


1/2 container firm tofu, roughly chopped
any leftover veggies like:
mushrooms,
peppers,
onions,
eggplant,
potatoes, diced
(I use my veggies left over from my roasted vegetable bake)
any whole grain tortilla shells

Put a little oil in a skillet and lightly fry the tofu. Toss in veggies and sautee everything for a few minutes (until everything is starting to brown.) Wrap in a multi-grain tortilla, top with salsa and enjoy. Or do what I do and put them individually wrapped in the fridge and freezer for future quick breakfasts. (You really can't tell it's tofu and not scrambled eggs!)

Grilled Vegetable Sanwich on Grilled Sourdough by Jess



We LOVED this sandwich. It was an awesome treat on crusty thick sourdough bread slices.
My friend made up this sandwich which I hastily made without some of her ingredients yesterday. I just pan grilled some zucchini, yellow squash and yellow pepper. I broiled sourdough drizzled with italian dressing. I assembled it with good mustard and fresh basil and spinich. It was still really great but I'd love to try her way.

Any or all of these veggies:
Eggplant
Mushrooms
Any color pepper
Red onion
Zucchini
Yellow squash
Vinaigrette
Mustard
Fresh spinich and basil
1 jar bruschetta
1 jar roasted red pepper

Pour vinaigrette on veggies and grill. Grill sourdough slices. Assemble with burschetta, roasted red pepper, and spinich and basil. Hold together with a toothpick. (Pictured is some hearty wheat rolls I used one day that I couldn't find sourdough.)

Spaghetti Variations by Me


Serve whole wheat spaghetti or rotini with spaghetti sauce topped with a garden burger (there are lots of different kinds). Or bread peeled eggplant slices with bread crumbs, cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes (?) on each side till soft and serve on top. Also add cooked lentils to spaghetti sauce and serve.
