Tofurky Italian Sausage

Verdict: Yummy!

So, I was walking down the aisle at TJoes and saw this package. I didn't even know they carried Tofurky! Awesome. And it's like $2.50 a package. I usually buy Field Roast at Whole Foods for $5. So, needless to say, I was very curious how this one was going to taste and hoping for the best so I can save money.

I made the sausage with the same 'brat' toppings I normally make. Sauteed onions, saurkraut, ketchup, and mustard.

Verdict? AMAZING! It tasted so good and I can't tell you how excited I am about saving money on one of my favorite meals: Vegan Brats.

On your next Tjoes run, get these with some hot dog buns! It's sooo worth it. :)

Vegan Pandamonium’s Recipe: Argentine Milanesa

Verdict: Yummy

Recipe:  from VeganPandamonium.com
 

1 pkg of 4 Gardein chick’n filets
3 TBL water
1/4 cup lemon juice ( plus a lemon for garnish)
1/4 tsp oregano
whole wheat bread crumbs
flour
3 TBL oilve oil
pinch of salt

In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, water and oregano. Take each chicken breast and dredge it in flour, then the lemon juice mixture and then coat it in bread crumbs. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each chick’n breast a couple minutes on either side until golden brown. Place the breast on a paper towel to let the oil drain. Sprinkle the chick’n with a pinch of salt. Serve with your favorite veggies and slices of lemon.

It was great tasting (and easy to make) …however, I highly recommend you douse it with lemon cuz that made the dish! It was crispy on the outside yet tender in the inside! I made fried brown rice and broccoli as sides, which hit the spot.

This is my second recipe I’ve made from VeganPandamonium and I have to say, she is quickly becoming one of my favorite vegan websites. Her recipes are so simple to make and they are so tasty!

Trader Joe’s Soy Chorizo

My Verdict: Yummy (but with disclaimer)

Ok, so, I made this for our taco dinner the other night and it was really good. But, i did cook it with olive oil, onions, garlic, and oregano. I think that’s what made it taste so good. If it didn’t have all that stuff, i would just give it an ‘meh’. I used half the package to make a ton of tacos for me and luke. So, this little package can go pretty far for dinners.

The next day, I made a puttanesca pasta with the other half of chorizo and MAN, it was freakin amazing!

Here’s the simple recipe:

 

Whole wheat penne pasta

red onion

garlic cloves

olive oil

Tjoe’s soy chorizo

Tjoe’s vegan chunky marinara sauce

oregano

nutritional yeast (for garnish)

While the pasta is cooking, lightly coat a pan with olive oil and saute the onions and garlic. Add the soy chorizo crumbles and stir. Add the marinara sauce and oregano. By then, the pasta should be done.  Strain the pasta and add it to the pan. Stir together. Once the plates are served, add nutritional yeast on top! Yumm-o. It’s super easy and super good.

This can easily become a staple in our Tjoes grocery shopping.
