New Year Recipes
Happy New Year everyone! I woke up this morning with an optimistic, fresh view on the world and that started with getting back on track with my diet. I love the holidays, I really do, but the rich food and drink wreaks havoc with my body. I put on some of the weight I had lost last year on WW, my joints started hurting terribly, I caught the flu a week before Christmas (and gave it to everyone else in my family...augh!) my skin has been dry and itchy...I'm exhausted and ready to get back to my better habits. So, I signed back into WW a few days ago, made peace with the scale and my tracker and started back in, made a few errors, but at least I'm trying. Today I feel like I'm ready to take it on. Here's my New Year's morning breakfast. Please post your healthy New Years recipes and let's share the enthusiasm for healthy eating!
Curried Tofu Scramble with Fresh Fruit
Curried Tofu Scramble
Serves 2
1 block extra firm tofu
3-4 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
2 teaspoons black salt (Kala namak)
twist of freshly ground pepper
Curry powder to taste (1-2 Tablespoons)
onions, chopped
mushrooms, sliced
1 plum tomato, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
2 Tablespoons Kite Hill Cream Cheese
2 big handfuls of fresh, washed, spinach leaves
dash of homemade hot sauce (My dau made it)
In a wide frying pan, over medium heat, break up the block of tofu, add the yeast and spices and stir until blended. Add the cream cheese and stir until just broken up and distributed around the tofu mixture. Add all of the veggies and
stir until the veggies are cooked and most of the liquid is evaporated. Serve with a big dash of hot sauce.
Fresh Fruit
cut up as many fresh fruits as you have and mixed the cut fruit in a big bowl. Here's what I had on hand today:
Blueberries
Fresh pineapple
strawberries
banana
Pile half of the fruit in the bowl on to your plate, next to the giant heap of tofu scramble. Pour yourself a nice cup of hot coffee and chow down. Yummmm!
This only took about 10 minutes to make and because there are no meat products in it, it's super easy to clean the one pan used. Easy!
