Tofu Chickpea Mash

I've been trying for ages to figure out a vegan substitute for egg salad/tuna salad/chicken salad, and nothing ever seems to taste how I want it. I have, however, discovered the wonderful world of tofu mash and chickpea mash sandwiches... And they are so fantastic! Yesterday I decided to combine the two and it tasted great!

This would work well on a sandwich, on rice cakes (which is how I ate it), or as a dip (if you purée it instead of mashing with a fork or potato masher). Enjoy the recipe!

Ingredients
1 block extra firm tofu, drained but not pressed
1 can low sodium chickpeas, drained
1/4 cup vegan mayo
2 tsp brown mustard
1 tsp Cavender's Greek Seasoning
1 tbsp dried dill weed
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Throw everything into a large bowl and wash with a potato masher. If you want to make it a dip, throw it in a blender. This makes about four cups, so it will last you a while or be great to make finger sandwiches for a function. Also, if you want to make a lower fat version, simply add less of the vegan mayo and don't drain as much of the liquid off the chickpeas.

Enjoy! If you try it, let me know what you think in the comments!

Tempeh Protein Noodles

I have been making large batches of food and eating them throughout the week to cut down on my time spent cooking on a daily basis. This is something I made the other day and love! Ingredients 1 package Edamame mung bean noodles 1 package black bean noodles 1 package Tempeh 1/3 cup textured vegetable protein 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter 2 tbsp Sesame seeds 2 tbsp kimchi 1 tbsp Chili oil 3 tbsp soy sauce 3 tbsp Bragg's liquid aminos 1.5 tbsp Sriracha Directions • Cook noodles according to package directions and drain. • in the same pot, mix the noodles with the other ingredients (it works best if you add the powdered peanut butter and tvp first so they are easier to mix once you add the liquids. • Serve with extra sriracha for a spicier dish, or add a fruit salad for some sweetness to contrast with the spicy saltiness. Makes 8 servings at about 310 calories

Welcome to my Blog!

Hello everyone! If you are here, you probably came over from my Instagram page. Awesome! It's great to see you again. If you didn't, welcome to the world of Marjorie! A little background on me and blogs. I have had a blog before and gave up on it around the time I started using Instagram. I was in need of a community of feedback, which that amazing platform has provided. Now, I need a place to post my recipes because I get more and more requests for those every day. Any sort of recipe book is a huge undertaking that I find incredibly daunting at the moment, so I decided a blog would be much more manageable. My plan is to post a new recipe about once per month. I'm a 27 year old singer and ballet dancer. I'm the alto section leader in my church choir and I am a Teacher's Assistant at a ballet studio, where I work with all ages of girls and boys. I became a vegan over 3 years ago and I transformed my sad little Instagram into a food post page and the res...
