Throw Together Meal

 

So for this meal, I did vegan Elote (Mexican corn) Tofu Steaks, and mixed vegetables.  I have been really trying to use up what I have bought because I am very bad at letting things stay in the fridge until they are old and yucky and have to be thrown away.  Food waste is terrible but I fear I am the worst at it.

So the vegetables are peppers, leeks and broccoli sauteed in a little vegan butter (I use Earth Balance).  This meal was a very last minute type of meal.  I put BBQ sauce and vegan Worceshire Sauce (The Wizard's) and pan fried it in a little olive oil.  My husband loves Mexican corn so when I see corn at the store I usually buy it for that.  I use Earth Balance, Mayo One, a mixture of Chipolte and Ancho powder and then vegan shake on cheese made of ground cashews and nutritional yeast. Usually turns out quite good and very close to the "real thing" made from dairy based mayo, cheese, and butter.

My husband is the taste tester.  He is not a vegan, has no interest in being a vegan, but he knows how I feel and how I want to eat.  So when he likes something, I am very happy.
