This is the yummiest dinner. My old roommate used to make it and I always meant to email him to ask how to make it myself, but this vegan thing finally got me to do it since it is yummy and vegan to boot! And mind you, my old roommate was a meat eater, but ate this every week.
You just dice and your favorite veggies.. I used peppers (red and green bell), crookneck squash, zucchini squash, and onions.. I used um, half an onion, half of each of the peppers, and one of each of the squash. Stir fry in olive oil. Then add tofu or, in this case, Tofurky Italian sausages. They are SO GOOD. I used two. Cook until everything feels like it's soft enough, and you're done! Oh, I used two garlic cloves in tonight's meal.
We served ours over quinoa, but you can eat it however you want. Since I knew what I was doing tonight (as opposed to last night), it was super fast and simple tonight. And, again, YUM. The Italian sausages have a lot of flavor, but the quinoa was just cooked plain, so we added a little olive oil and salt & pepper to the final product.
It's been a week now. Let me just say a big thank you to Starbucks and their soymilk lattes!
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
