Tofu and Spinach Scramble

There are several meals that are in regular rotation in my weekly planning, and tofu is usually part of it. I did a previous post on the health benefits of tofu. It is extremely versatile and can transform many dishes. From vegan pizza to vegan pasta the possibilities are endless. 

​I enjoy JUST Egg for breakfast. It makes the best breakfast sandwiches and is very delicious scrambled. On this particular day we were out of JUST Egg, so I saw a couple of packages of extra firm tofu in the fridge and decided to use that instead. I didn't really have an exact idea in mind, but I was able to turn the package of tofu into something very delicious. My husband gave the finished product a thumbs up, so I was pleased that he liked it. I quickly had to write down all of my ingredients and form them into a recipe so I wouldn't forget everything I had used.

Another one of my breakfast favorites is Hilary's vegan sausages. Well...they are for breakfast, but we have been known to have them for lunch and dinner as well. After all, breakfast is fabulous any time of day! This recipe is inexpensive, quick and easy to make, and is very nutritious, too.

​Savory, spicy, filling, protein-packed, and only eight ingredients!
