Katsu means battered in Japanese panko breadcrumbs and fried. The technique is typically used with chicken and served with Japanese curry over rice. I substituted the chicken for tofu cutlets, and the results were the same – utterly delicious! We ate our Tofu Katsu with Japanese curry stew with root vegetables, over a bed of…

Tofu Tacos
We haven’t made tacos in way too long – so I decided to remedy that asap! These tofu tacos were an easy and quick taco fix complete with lots of healthy protein and delicious toppings. With the help of some frozen bell pepper strips, jarred salsa, and a packet of taco seasoning, this tofu crumble…
Crispy Fried Tofu Sandwiches
A fried chicken sandwich is one of those things I had written off as a meal I will never consume again. I used to love the crispy/zesty taste of a fast-food chicken sandwich (guilty as charged!!) but figured it would be impossible to make a vegan version, and even if I tried, it would be…
Spaghetti Squash Lasagna
Lasagna + Spaghetti Squash = a combination of two wonderful things that is a match made in heaven! I decided to add some tender spaghetti squash noodles as a layer in our vegan lasagna, and it was a great addition. I’m always trying to take tried and true recipes and make them more interesting and…
Coconut Noodle Soup
Soup soup soup! I’m in a soup mood, what can I say? I love a meal that all fits neatly in a bowl and warms the soul. This particular soup is slurpy in all the right ways, full of noodles, bok choy, and thick creamy broth, and is just the right amount of spicy +…
Cranberry Tofu
It’s tangy and sweet. It’s delicious and easy. It’s cranberry tofu! Hubby said it tasted like Christmas, almost like mulled wine due to a touch of cinnamon and that sweet cranberry bite. The cranberries plump up and absorb all the wonderful flavors of the red wine and veggie stock. And besides all that, the meal…

Ingredients 1 spaghetti squash 1 Tbsp coconut oil 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 Tbsp grated ginger 1 1/2 cup…
Dijon Mustard Tofu
Browned tofu slices draped in a creamy Dijon sauce seasoned with fresh cracked pepper. It tastes as divine as it sounds! The sharp mustard is complemented with white wine and vegan sour cream to make a deliciously creamy sauce; I had it with chicken back in my meat eating days, and now I can say…
Fish and Chips with Mushy Peas
Fish, chips, and mushy peas. Oh boy do I miss this classic pub & chippy fare! I resigned myself to never being able to have it again, but alas, anything you can make I can make vegan! Hubby always gets fish and chips when we are back in his homeland (and let’s face it, at…
Teriyaki Rice and Tofu
Our apartment does not have air conditioning, and also doesn’t have cross ventilation, so our kitchen can get pretty steamy with the oven on. I try to use the oven as little as possible in these warmer months, so I like to find quick stove top dinners that don’t emit much heat output! This is…
