Blueberry Muffins Make these in the silicone muffin pans and just pop them out when they are done!
Preparation Time:
20 minutes
2 teaspoons baking
powder Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Combine wet ingredients together in another bowl. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and mix lightly. Gently fold in the berries, mixing as little as possible. Overmixing makes the muffins tough. Bake in non-stick muffin pans until lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Hints: If you can’t find white whole wheat flour in your markets, use all whole wheat pastry flour. Honey may be substituted for the agave nectar, if desired. To use frozen blueberries in this recipe, thaw first, then toss gently with a tablespoon of flour (this helps keeps the berries whole).
Breakfast
Pizzas These are a special treat for a weekend breakfast.
Preparation Time:
30 minutes
1 large Yukon Gold
potato, boiled until almost done, and diced Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place ½ cup of water in a big sauté pan or sauce pot. Add the potato, onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Add a bit more water or stock if necessary to keep from sticking. Add the vegetables and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tofu and the seasoning mix. Stir everything very well and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Spread a layer of beans on the tortillas. Place the tortillas on baking sheets. Top each tortilla with a layer of the tofu scramble, and sprinkle with some grated Follow Your Heart cheese if desired. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, until the topping is golden brown. Remove from oven, spoon some salsa over each breakfast pizza and enjoy! Scramble Seasoning Mix Make a big batch and keep in your cupboard—also makes a great tofu egg salad sandwich seasoning, or better yet, add it to pureed, cooked white beans for a super low-fat (but filling) “egg salad!”

Oatmeal:
Topping
Sauce: Combine all the oatmeal ingredients in a sauce pot and simmer, on low heat, until done, about 6 minutes. Pour into a casserole dish and top with the crushed cereal. Cover and refrigerate until morning. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, until the cereal is just starting to turn brown. While the casserole is baking, make the sauce. Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Serve the sauce over the hot oatmeal casserole. (The sauce may be heated if you prefer.) Quick Mexican Chili This is a fast and easy meal, delicious served with corn tortillas, over rice, or scooped on top of baked potatoes.

1 onion, chopped Place the onion and water in a medium pot. Cook and stir over medium heat until onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, beans, salsa, oregano & chipotle powder. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for another 20 minutes. Serve topped with fresh cilantro and optional avocado, onions, and/or tofu sour cream. Hints: Black beans may be substituted for either of the beans suggested, or use black beans along with the other beans. Use fire-roasted tomatoes or chopped tomatoes with green chilies for a bit more flavor. Try this with green salsa instead of red salsa. Add more chipotle powder for a bit more heat. This recipe is very easy to add to in order to make a larger batch. Add a few extra cans of beans and a can of fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, a bit more of the salsa and seasonings and you’ll have enough for 6-8 servings or some extra to put in for freezer. Tofu Tacos This recipe appeared in the newsletter several years ago as part of another recipe. I make this part of the recipe for my family and it is always a favorite, so I thought it was a good idea to run this recipe again on its own merit-just in case you haven’t tried it.

Combine soy sauce, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne in a large bowl. Add tofu and mix gently. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place a large non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Add tofu and cook turning occasionally for about 10 minutes. Set aside.
