Elle’s Vegan Tofu Burger!

Tonight I had my most favorite thing to eat in the world – tofu burgers!!

But not just any tofu burgers…this is my favorite recipe! I’ve made tofu burgers many times before by crumbling the tofu, mixing in ingredients, and then making them into patties, but the way I had them tonight requires much less hands-on preparation time:

Tonight, I just sliced up some pressed tofu and put them in a non-stick pan with soy sauce and some herbs (sage, thyme, rosemary, and a dash of nutmeg). One thing that I did different this time was that I poked little holes in the tofu so that the taste soaked all the way through! Then, I just left them there to simmer for a couple hours while I went off to study, returning to the stove to turn them every once in a while. Sooo delicious!!

Syrupy Fig Breakfast

Last night, I put a couple dried figs in some water and let them soak overnight. I usually just eat them dry, but this may be my new favorite!

The water turns deliciously thick and syrupy – I just drank it this morning, but as an afterthought I realized that it might be amazing in my breakfast oatmeal…next experiment =)

But anyhow, together with a strawberry, peach, and melon smoothie – today’s breakfast was soo sweet!
