The road to being vegan

I am so still in transition. I am still not ready to give up seafood yet. I hear the Asian markets have great faux seafood that I can't wait to try. The good news is I've finally got the tofu scramble under control after almost 6 months of trying. My recipe: 1/3 block of extra firm tofu crumbled 1/4 cup white onion chopped 1/4 cup green pepper chopped 1/4 cup white mushrooms sliced 1/4 cup nutritional yeast salt and pepper to taste Olive oil for sauteeing 1 tsp earth balance spread I sauteed the onion and green pepper in a small skillet with the olive oil for about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and stir for one more minute. Add earth balance and allow to melt. Add crumbled tofu and nutritional yeast. I had issues before because I liked my eggs cooked hard and all the tofu scrambles looked soft or medium. So I turned the fire up to med/high and allowed the mixture to brown on both sides. I added and salt and pepper and it was delicious. A picture is posted on FB. Enjoy!
