$3.33 a day: Simple comfort food and condiments

My all time favorite comfort food

This dish will probably surprise most of you who have read me for a while; it is no secret that I LOVE spicy and highly flavored food. This dish is rather bland and simple, but it is something we ate several times a week growing up. Bulgur, tofu and zucchini flavored with thyme, pepper and soy sauce. Super easy and delicious. I did add an onion, garlic and nutritional yeast to the dish. My homemade tofu was freaken amazing here! As a child, we ate it with cottage cheese on top.

This recipe serves 2

2 C cooked bulgur
1 T EVOO or toasted sesame oil
2 large zucchinis
1 large onion
5 cloves garlic
2 t dried thyme
8 oz tofu
1 c water
Soy sauce, tamari or Braggs to taste
Black pepper to taste
2 T nutritional yeast

Method:
In a cast iron over medium heat add the oil, zukes, onion, garlic, thyme and tofu. Stir fry for several minutes then add the water and soy sauce. Bring to a strong simmer until the veggies are cooked then stir in the pepper and yeast. Serve over the bulgur or add the bulgur to the pan.

Super simple and tasty.

Caesar Salad with Raw Sunny Caesar Dressing

I just love this dressing. It is so simple, healthy and satisfying. It will be in the ebook for sure.

Mild Ancho Chile Enchilada Sauce

So flavorful and yummy!.. I going to make enchiladas this week and needed some sauce. This certainly will do the trick!

Spanish Bulgur

Like Spanish Rice, but chewier. I made a big batch of this and divided it into 3 containers. Two are in the freezer for future use (I have 2 c of lentils that will mix perfectly with this for a chili!).. I am going to mix this with kale and pickled jalapenos to stuff into corn tortillas for enchiladas. Chipotle black beans and salad will round out the meal. Stay tuned for that post!

Healthy and Cheap Vegenaise Substitute

I just love this. The mix in possibilities are endless. I created this recipe from whole soybeans. Woohoo!
