TOFU ONE POT

Hi foodies, in this post I'll give you an idea for a one-pot meal for vegetarians. The main protein will be firm tofu, and some simple organic vegetables you may be able to purchase at your local grocery store.

OK, first of all let's all try to eat a little healthy, and a vegetarian meal can always benefit you. I mean you can't gobble down pork bellies all week long. Or prime rib every day of the week. You'll ______ ing croak! Seriously. And if you're on medication for hypertension, and cholesterol, if you eat well you can reverse your bad health condition and get off of them meds. I mean I've known people with diabetes that said, "______ this shit, I don't wanna be sick anymore." And they changed their eating habbits. Ate more whole foods, and did more excercising. Yeah, I should talk right? I'm on meds, haha. 

OK here we go, let's call this dish the Tofu One-Pot. 

INGREDIENTS

2- 14 oz. blocks of firm organic tofu, sliced into bite size pieces. 

4 large eggs, beaten
----------------------------------------------
28 fl. oz. of veggie stock, buy orgnic

1 medium carrot, organic, shredded

1 large red bell pepper sliced thin

1 medium sweet round onion, sliced thin

8 oz. organic cherry tomatoes, sliced in half, and squeezed.

DIRECTIONS

In a large enough pot, add in all ingredients from the veggie stock to the sea salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes over low heat.

Ingredient Info on some products you may be unfamiliar with.

Nutritional Yeast: Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is responsible for maintaining a good digestive system, increasing your energy, regulating your nervous system and protecting you against colon cancer, breast cancer, and stomach cancer. Usually non-existent in plant food, B12 primarily comes from red meat, sardines, tuna and other animal products. If you are not eating meat or meat products, you will need to gain your vitamin B12 intake elsewhere. Apart from taking supplements, the best way is with nutritional yeast. Just one tablespoon of nutritional yeast powder is your recommended daily intake of this super vitamin. Check the label that he packet does, in fact, contain B12 as it is available without it as well.

Nutritional yeast has a nutty flavor, it works well with tofu, in fact you can add as much as you want to the one-pot recipe I have for you. Remember, the recipe is a mere guideline for you, taste and add whatever you want to the pot. You can always add ingredients, but you can never take it out. So add a little at a time. Try it on salads or even pop corn in place of butter.

Tamari Soy Sauce Gluten Free:  Tamari is a premium soy sauce made with 100% soy beans. Shoyu on the other hand is soy sauce blended with 50/50 percent soy beans to wheat ratio. And with wheat, you have gluten. So an organic tamari soy sauce gluten free is the best one for any eater looking for gluten free soy sauces.
