Asian tofu protein bowl. V. GF.

March 27, 2017 by Knead to Cook Filed Under: Asian inspired, Brunch, Evolution Power Yoga 40 Days, Gluten Free, Pressure Cooker, Running/Races, Tofu, Vegan, Vegan proteins, Wheat Free 2 Comments

Asian tofu protein bowl.

In the pursuit of feeding one of my Boston bound marathon runner clients, targeting foods that are high protein & a less bean focused menu this week.  My mind obviously went to tofu, my absolute favorite source of protein and this dish was created from experimenting in the kitchen.

Now if you follow my Instagram story, you’ve seen me whip up marinated tofu similar to this recipe but I’ve never really documented it.  It was always a recipe I whipped up from memory but never shared.  I had literally hundreds of emails asking for the recipe and so it goes… here it finally is!  My apologies for my tardiness but I’ve been quite busy with recipe jobs/blogging, cooking and oh hey all things college-related including many flights being booked for travel.  But I digress… this recipe is a trifecta of protein, carbs, fiber and all thing good in the world.  One dish meal that is pure perfection.  I hope you enjoy this one as much as we do.

Buffalo Tofu Bites. Vegan. GF. Valentine Giveaway.

February 1, 2017 by Knead to Cook Filed Under: Giveaway!!!, Gluten Free, Party Foods, Running/Races, Snacks, Tofu, Vegan, Vegan proteins, Wheat Free, Your Life Edit Foundations 27 Comments

Buffalo tofu bites.  What? Yes, the vegan version of Buffalo wings.  The Super Bowl is this Sunday and this week I’ll be sharing some football/tailgating/party foods with you all.  If you’re hosting, attending a party or having an intimate little football party – having some festive, yes festive food, always makes the game better, right?  I mean seriously, unless your team is in the Super Bowl, sadly my team is not, the game is all about the commercials and overeating all the food.  Period.  End of story.  So plant-based people of the world do like to partake in the bar-inspired snacks/appetizers and football menu items.  We don’t always eat salads but we do always eat tofu – HA!

These bites are super easy to prep.  Even my meat-loving peeps love these and let’s face it… they aren’t artery clogging and gut busting like their carnivore counterpart.  The tofu can be pressed and cooked up easily earlier in the day with the sauce made right before you serve.  Toss the bites and sauce in the pan to warm and you are good to go!  So let’s get started.

Maca Tofu Breakfast Pudding. Vegan. GF.

Maca Tofu Breakfast Bowl.

If you follow me on Insta-story or Snapchat (kneadtocook) you know I document my food, with calories, each day.  You also know that I eat some version of this bowl each & every day.  Why?  Well I posted a version of this recipe several months ago here. I quickly realized that this bowl satiates me for a good 3.5-4 hours – which I’ll be honest, never happens.  I’ve traveled with this bowl weekly, prep it at home… wherever I am, I’m making it.  PLUS, it has 60 grams of plant based protein which is incredible.

So this recipe is a bit different than my original & includes Gaia Herbs maca powder that I was able to try out.  I’ve long been a fan of the benefits of maca powder.  Maca root powder is comprised of approximately:

18% protein

76.5% carbohydrates

5% fat

8.5% fiber (indigestible carbohydrates)

Maca provides:
Vitamins B-1, B-2, C and E
Calcium
Magnesium
Potassium
Copper
Zinc
Manganese
Phosphorus
Selenium
Sulphur
Sodium
Iron

Processed using gelatinization to make it more digestible and easier to absorb

Plus this powder is organic, vegan, gluten free and non-gmo.  It blends perfectly into water, your smoothies or your tofu bowl.  Sustained energy without caffeine.  I’m a fan!  I don’t share products I don’t personally use or love… ever!

Craving crusher breakfast tofu pudding bowl. V. GF.

Hi my name is Robin and I’m a snackaholic.  No seriously… I’m a total grazer & I’ve always been.  That is until this recipe became my breakfast of choice.

A little history.  I’ve loved playing around with tofu in pudding-type recipes like this one that my daughters love.  But I recently received my macronutrient plan & it was apparent that my feasting on fruit was spurring on my incessant snacking.  I needed to base my meals heavier in protein.  So I had my history of whipping up chocolate tofu pudding recipes.  And my friends Georgie & Darren over at VeganFitness kept sharing their tofu ice cream and it was like the food Gods were speaking to me.  I needed to whip up a combo recipe of the two and I’m so glad I did.

Taco Bowls. V. GF.

Taco bowls are life.  I created this bowl for dinner last night because my oldest is obsessed with Chipotle. I made it vegan & gluten free and she devoured this after a very long day of training/swim practice and work.  It made my heart happy.  She even ate the dressing (surprise ingredients in there) and she NEVER eats dressing.  YES!!!

This recipe is totally forgiving.  Clean out your fridge and use what you have & love.  I prepped this ahead of time and it was ready to go as my family filtered in for dinner.  Leftovers are perfect for lunch the next day.  Low fat.  No oils.  Summer fresh!  This would be perfect for a beach day, picnic or to take to a pool party.   Now let’s get to it…

Tofu Taco Salad. Vegan. GF.

Tofu Taco Salad. Vegan. GF.

Tofu Taco Salad. Vegan. GF.

Looking for a fun way to use up your taco leftovers?  I got you covered.  I normally have a bunch of random leftovers after our Taco Tuesday dinner and I hate wasting food as it gets inevitably pushed to the back of the fridge to be lost for basically ever.  This salad can clearly be made with any protein of your choice but I wanted to share my taco tofu recipe that is great over nachos, in tacos or wherever you would traditionally use ground beef/chicken or turkey – great way to incorporate more plant based foods into you menu.
