Day 15:
Hello! Today is great, really sunny, so I just rode my bike over to meet my boss at his house before an event :) Bike riding always puts me in the best mood!
Before work I had some extra time so I though I’d make some dinner for the family :) we had too many vegetables that I didn’t want to go bad so I made an odd but yummy mix of them! It tasted pretty great and only took me 20 minutes tops to make it (and I’m usually a fairly slow cooker because I always watch TV during) Anyways here is the recipe:
1 mini bag of Mixed Baby Squash (I got mine from Trader Joe’s, they’re crazy low in calories!!!)
1 whole onion, chopped fairly fine
6 baby potatoes, coarsely chopped, I used red but I doubt that it really matters for this recipe
1 package of firm tofu, coarsely chopped just like the potato, again I got mine from Trader Joe’s
Garlic Salt and Olive Oil to taste
(1) After you cut the tofu into about 1 inch squares or smaller, sauté them in a small pan with a little bit of olive oil and garlic salt until they’re lightly crispy. I don’t like to use more than a teaspoon of olive oil because that’s pretty unhealthy.
(2) While you’re sautéing the tofu heat another pan and put your chopped potatoes and a small amount of oil and garlic salt in there, cover them with a lid and just let them steam for about ten to fifteen minutes, or until they’re soft. WHILE you are cooking your potatoes, place the onions in with them for the last 3-5 minutest so that they can cook as well, you can tell when they’re done once they look like they are becoming clear.
If you want either the onions or potatoes to be slightly browned then take off the lid near the end and sauté them as well for 2-3 minutes.
(3) While you are waiting for the potatoes and onions to finish you can put the bag of mixed baby squash in the microwave for about 3-5 minutes, when it’s finished they will be steamed and I chopped mine up and then mixed the whole crazy vegetable tofu medley together :)
It’s a fairly simple, rough recipe, but I loved it. This makes about 6 servings, and came out to be extremely filling and low on calories :)
Anyways have a good, I should get back to work
Aidan!
