This Salisbury Steak was from "Mississippi Vegan" by Timothy Pakron. It was hearty and decadent 😋 😋 . #plantbased #cooking #mississippivegan

I've been revisiting recipes that use egg alternatives. This morning was a Tofu Scramble Saturday. It had leftover veggies sautéed with onions, garlic, and crumbled tofu that was mixed with soy sauce, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast. So satisfying!😋 #plantbasedcooking #tofu #eggalternatives

"Baked Tofu Nuggets with Honey Mustard Sauce, Miso Glazed Roasted Kabocha Squash, Roasted Broccoli (and rice)". Courtesy of Tasty, blocks of tofu are pressed, frozen, thawed, then pressed again before marinated, breaded, and baked. It's not a 1:1 sub for 🐓, but it IS mighty tasty. #cooking #tofu 😋
