Free Stuff Friday: "And Then There Were None Hearts Tofu" Tees! March 6, 2009
Posted by Shannon Phillips | Permalink | Comments ( 152 ) | TrackBackFormed by five best friends who love making positive dance music with pop-punk undertones, And Then There Were None (ATTWN) are here to remind us that fun and positive music still exists. It only took me one listen of their single "Reinventing Robert Cohn" off of their latest release Who Speaks for Planet Earth? to turn my desk into a dance party! Speaking of positive, did I mention that all five members are 100% vegetarian? What I love even more than a band full of vegetarians is a band that isn't afraid to incorporate their love for vegetarian food into their T-Shirt designs. Yep, that's right—ATTWN have designed an amazing T-Shirt which declares their love for tofu, and one of these shirts could soon be yours!

If that isn't awesome enough, you can also check out the video below which shows ATTWN in action making their favorite vegan food on the road—the "Vegan UNH"!
For your chance to win your very own 'ATTWN <3 Tofu' shirt, just comment below with the best vegan meal you've ever made, and what size t-shirt you wear. We'll pick the four most creative meals as the winners! Entries must be received by March 13th, and the two winners will be chosen and notified by March 20th.

Posted by: Mike ricci at March 6, 2009 11:03 AMMy wife and I made these amazing vegan enchiladas once. We got the recipe from the Go Veg 30 day recipe book by PETA. We just added half vegan sausage crumbles to the mix instead of all just the meat crumbles. : )
Posted by: Micah Andrew Hasty at March 6, 2009 11:03 AMThe best vegan meal I have ever made is my famously delicious veggie and tofu stir fry with spicy noodles. It consist of tofu, organic tamara soy sauce, garlic, salt, pepper, fresh veggies, linguinie, 1 hot pepper, olive oil, curry powder, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of cayanne.

Posted by: Amy at March 6, 2009 11:36 AMTomato Pies for a holiday brunch: a sesame crust pressed into pie plates filled with some diced, some squashed tomatoes, some cubed and some crumbled tofu, lots of olive oil and italian seasonings and topped with thin tomato slices. It's almost like pizza, but so much better for a brunch menu!
Posted by: JAB at March 6, 2009 11:38 AMvegan brownies, hands down. it's not a meal per se, but I guess you could eat it with vegetables if you so wished...
Ingredients:
250g Margarine
200g Vegan Chocolate (Maya Gold used to be the one to use before Cadbury’s took it over, but something like that would work)
80g Cocoa
65g Plain Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
360g Fairtrade Caster Sugar
Egg Replacement equal to 4 eggs (Could use Silken Tofu)
Method:
1. Preheat the over to 180c (350F), Gas Mark 4
2. Mix cocoa, flour, baking powder and sugar together.
3. Melt chocolate and margarine together then mix it well.
4. Put the egg replacement in with the dry ingredients.
5. Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend, or mix by hand so you have a thick smooth mixture, then pour evenly into a thinly greased baking tray until it is about an half an inch thick
6. Pop in the over for about 15-20 or until the brownies are crispy on top but gooey in the middle. If you prefer cake-like brownies, leave in the over for 5-10 minutes longer.
7. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, cut into equal sections then leave to cool for a further half an hour.

The best vegan meal I ever made were vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They were more like muffin tops, but they were AMAZING!!!
Posted by: Lesley at March 6, 2009 11:46 AMThe best Veg meal i've ever made was some pan fried tofu (seasoned with some basic puerto rican spices and a marinade called sofrito), puerto rican rice with beans, and a fresh salad with tons of different veggies and fresh herbs with a light vinaigrette. Yummy!

Posted by: Christina C at March 6, 2009 11:53 AMThe best vegan meal I made was a delicious curry! With lots of carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, cashews, lentils, onions, mushrooms and peppers on a bed of rice. The curry sauce is called Indian Korma Curry. You're supposed to add milk to it but I put coconut milk in it instead :) You can add raisins to it too for a sweet taste ^^

Posted by: lisa becker at March 6, 2009 12:04 PMMy favorite is to grill tofu with teriyaki sauce, along with vegetables and make tofu/veggie skewers and brown rice.

3.Place tofu in a large bowl and add remaining ingredients. Spread on bread, then top with another slice and press together gently. Cut sandwiches into quarters and serve.
just straight tofu on its own is enough for me :)
Posted by: Matt at March 6, 2009 12:15 PMI make a Eddie K tofu scramble. First you get cooking spray, you spray the pan then add the tofu and seitan, you then cook that that then when your done, you turn the stove off and go use the bathroom. When you return you add mushroom, spinach,carrots, and tomatoes to the pan and turn it very low so they are still raw. When your done cooking them, you have a Eddie K tofu scramble.
Posted by: Edward K at March 6, 2009 12:17 PMThe best one I've made so far has been, "chicken" fried "steak". We used tofu and breaded it and then baked it in the oven, served it with mashed potatoes, vegan gravy, vegetables and vegan rolls. It was amazingly delicious and tasted very similar.
then we had "chocolate pudding" for dessert with fresh berries. we just blended silken tofu with cocoa and raw sugar, tasted just like pudding.

Posted by: Stacie LePert at March 6, 2009 12:17 PMHave to say. My vegan idea was already said. STIRFRY FTW! :/

I am always happy with a nice bowl of Cocoa Puffs mmmm. I love how you put in white milk and then it magically turns to chocolate:)

Posted by: Mitchell Thoms at March 6, 2009 12:29 PMThe best I've had were these spicy tofu wraps, made with veggies, tofu, rice and soy sauce. It took a while to make, but they were really good compared to my expectations.
Youth large or adult small please.
Posted by: Nick at March 6, 2009 12:39 PMThe best vegan meal that I have made wasn't a meal at all... it was just vegan chocolate chip cookies!
Posted by: Leah at March 6, 2009 12:42 PMI've never actually "made" a vegan meal, as in actually whipping up the ingredients, but I must say Morningstar Farms' Bufffalo Wings is by far the best vegan meal I have ever had the pleasure of eating. I could it eat it every day.
peace
veggie chili it's the best my grandma made it up for me when I became a vegetarian. it has like corn, lots of tomatoes, bell peppers, kidney beans, and a few other kinds of beans.

Posted by: Olyvia at March 6, 2009 12:46 PMThe best vegan meal I've ever had is my home made pad thai. I use brown rice noodles, peanut butter, tofu, and lots of carrots. I add some red curry paste, sometimes a little coconut milk. No eggs, no fish sauce, just yummy noodles and veggies. And it's gluten free too.
Posted by: Crystal Kaba at March 6, 2009 12:49 PMvery cool
Posted by: at March 6, 2009 12:59 PMYummy vegan Yuca "Quesadillas" with Vegan Twinkies for dessert! Size small tee.
# 1 pound yuca, peeled, chopped into 4 inch chunks, and each chunk quartered
# 3 tablespoons olive oil
# 6 cloves garlic, chopped coarsely
# 1 small yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into small dice (about 1 cup)
# 1 jalapeño, roasted or raw, seeded and minced (optional)
# 2 teaspoons lime juice
# 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
# pinch of ground white pepper
# diced roasted red pepper
# sauteed mushroom
# sliced black olives
# 4-6 (8-inch) flour or whole wheat tortillas
1. Boil 3 quarts of water in a large, lidded pot. Add the yuca and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the yuca is tender and flakes easily when pierced with a fork. Drain and allow to cool. When the yuca is cool enough to touch, remove any thick rubbery skin from the outside of the roots and/or fibrous core from the center, if present. Gently mash with your fingers and set aside.
2 Place the oil and garlic in a cold cast-iron skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, or until sizzling and fragrant. Add the bell and jalapeño peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are very soft, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool for a few minutes, then pour over the mashed yuca. Stir in the lime juice, salt and white pepper, mashing the mixture even more, until everything is combined (using your hands is okay). If making any of the variations, add those ingredients and mix thoroughly. Taste the mixture and adjust the salt content to taste.
3. To assemble: Heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Brush a tortilla lightly with olive oil and spread with a generous 1/2 cup of filling, covering half of the tortilla all the way to the edges. Fold in half, gently pressing the tortilla together, and brush each side with a little olive oil. Place in the heated skillet and grill-flipping once-pressing down on the tortilla with a spatula until the outsides are nicely toasted and filling is piping hot. Remove from the heat, cut in half, and serve with salsa and guacamole.
Vegan Twinkies:
1. Preheat oven to 350º. Make the batter for Fluffy White Cupcakes.
1 TB apple cider vinegar
1 ½ scant cups plain soymilk
2 1/8 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. kosher salt
1 1/8 cups sugar
½ cup oil
1 ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. coconut extract
Spray a canoe baking pan (or Twinkie bake set) with nonstick spray and fill the cups just under halfway full (about 1/4 cup). Bake for 15 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean.
2. Let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn them out (running a thin plastic spatula along the sides helps release the cakes) and set them on a wire rack. Let them cool completely before filling.
3. Make Cream Filling:
1/4 cup nonhydrogenated shortening
1/4 cup nonhydrogenated margarine
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 TB barley malt powder (gives the filling a sweet, marshmallowy taste; not to be confused with malted milk powder)
Beat together the shortening and margarine with a handheld beater or stand mixer. Add the powdered sugar and beat until completely light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and malt powder and beat for another 2 minutes.
4. Fill the pastry bag and poke and squeeze out about one tablespoon into three locations in the underside of each cake.
The best vegan meal I have ever experienced, was a beautiful fresh salad with, rocket lettuce, mushrooms, carrott, semi-dried tomatoes, vegan cheese, watermelon, cucumber, mint and of course sweet chilli marinated tofu all mixed together with just a dash of french dressing. You can never go wrong with a fresh salad, absolutly awesome :)

I always make delicious meals but a recent one that I particularly liked was a rice dish made with black beans, pineapple (with pineapple juice), and red bell pepper, seasoned with cinnamon. I served a spring mix salad with homemade maple-vinegar dressing as a side.
I prefer T-shirts in size Large.

Posted by: LaTasha James at March 6, 2009 1:42 PMThe best vegan meal i've ever made are these rice paper wraps. You soak the crunchy rice wraps (they're clear and round) in water so they are very soft. Then you slice some cucumber, peal some carrot shavings, slice some jimca, sprouts, and any other vegetable you want, put them in the middle of the softend rice wrap and wrap them all up. They're so good, and you can dip them in any sort of sauce you like.
BONUS: they're sooo easy and require no cooking other than the cutting and soaking :) easy peasy lemon squeezy

I'm from Montreal, so whenever I tell my friends I'm vegan, they have a heart attack and almost keel over when they realize that I don't eat poutine!!! (for all of you not in the know: bessst Quebec food ever, super greasy fries with melted cheese curds and gravy!)
Anyways, I won't lie, I started missing it, so I made a vegan version!!! Honestly, it was amazing. I just used store-bought gravy, made my own fries and melted vegan cheese alllll over it! A little overwhelming for someone who's now used to eating so fresh and organic, but really hits that 3 a.m. I-need-a-poutine spot!!!
VEGAN POUTINE!!!! rocks.

The best vegan meal I've ever had is my Grandma's vegan Eggplant Parmesan; she grows all her veggie organically in her garden-even the eggplant!! Her tomato sauce is homemade-no Prego in this! She buys all the cheese susbitutes at the home economist in Charlotte, Nc. Even the carnivores in the family don't miss the meat in her famous dish. It won an italian cook off in Raleigh 5 years ago, so you know it's good.

Healthy & Cheap Aloo Gobi Variation
Ingredients:
2 large potatoes
1 medium/large cauliflower
2 onions
3 cloves of garlic
1 tin of plum tomatoes in juice
cumin seeds
garam masala
turmeric
chili powder
olive oil
fenugreek (optional)
black mustard seeds (optional)
salt (optional)
Directions:
Note: When stirring the curry, I suggest you use a flat wooden spoon.
1. Wash and peel the potatoes.
2. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower. Wash. Cut into small/medium florets.
3. Slice the potatoes into thick-cut chip (fries) size.
4. Boil both until tender- a slight bite to both is good. REMEMBER TO REMOVE FROM STOVE! Drain.
5. Whilst the potatoes and cauliflower are boiling, peel and slice the onions into rings and mince the garlic.
6. Heat a tiny amount of oil in a large non-stick frying pan (or wok).
7. Fry 2 to 3 teaspoons of cumin for a few minutes, and then add the garlic. Don't allow the garlic to burn.
8. Add 3/4 of the onion. Fry for a few minutes. Add 1-2 teaspoons of turmeric. If you have mustard seeds or fenugreek, add a teaspoon of both.
(AT THIS POINT, CHECK YOUR POTATOES & CAULIFLOUR!)
9. Keep frying until the onions soften, adding tiny amounts of olive oil to the frying pan to stop sticking/burning. Add a few pinches of chili powder. Place 3 teaspoons of this mixture aside for the curry sauce, with the rest of the onion.
10. When your cauliflower and potatoes are ready (and drained) hook out about 4 medium florets of cauliflower and 2 pieces of potato. Add the rest to the frying pan and coat with the turmeric/onion mixture. Use a flat wooden spoon to carefully mix until covered. If necessary, add a little more turmeric to ensure vegetables are coated. Continue to fry over a low-medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of garam masala. Mix well.
12. THE SAUCE: Open the can of tomatoes and pour their juice into a blender. Add the onion, cumin-onion mixture and the spare cauliflower florets and potato. Remove the stalks from the tomatoes, and add the tomatoes to the blender. Blend until you have a very pale looking, thickish tomato soup (add some water & blend more if clumpy). This is your sauce.
13. Pour the sauce into the frying pan and stir gently, covering the potatoes and continue to cook over a low-medium heat. If you want to keep the recipe more traditional, use just enough sauce to coat the mixture in the frying pan. For a more curry-style dish, use all of the sauce.
14. Heat through and do a taste test: if too bland, add a pinch of chili powder, salt or garam masala.
15. You can either serve when the potatoes and cauliflower are soft and heated through, or remove from heat and leave for a few hours to ensure the potatoes and cauliflower absorb all the flavors (Recommended).
Serve with rice, or with chapati.

Posted by: Kiladra at March 6, 2009 3:32 PMVegan shepherds pie is real comfort food for me as its nice and wholesome and my mum used to cook her own version of it for me before I left home.
Ingredients:
Two medium sized potatoes
soya milk
vegan margarine
Lentils
chopped carrots
kidney beans
red onion
soya mince
and any other veg you want to throw in
Veg stock
Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 200c
Boil the potatoes for 20 minutes.
At the same time lightly fry the onions, carrots and any other veg you're including in a pan until tender.
Add the beans, lentils, soya mince and some veg stock and simmer until the water is pretty much absorbed.
Drain the potatoes and put back into the pan you boiled them in, mash with a potato masher and gradually add soya milk and margarine until it reaches the kind of consistency you like.
Spoon the filling into a glass dish and spread the potato out on top, sprinkle some pepper on top if you like, then stick in the oven for about half an hour until the top is slightly browned.
Dish out and enjoy!

The best vegan meal I've made would have to be vegan empanadas. I sauteed beef substitute, lots of spices, red and green bell peppers, jalepeños, tomatoes, olive oil, and more for the filling, and wrapped the filling in a vegan crust, and then baked them.
I served them with fresh salsa and vegan sour cream - they were delicious!
substitute for 2 eggs (mix 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder, 1 tablespoon corn starch, and 4 tablespoons water)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 box medium firm silken tofu (350 g)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 packet vegan dried onion soup mix (1.5 oz)
1 teaspoon oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2/4 cup chopped celery
2 cups chopped mushrooms (use portobello mushrooms for a heartier taste)
1 1/2 teaspoon each of oregano and basil
1/2 teaspoon sage
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs (Variations: To make it stick together better, try lowering the bread crumbs to 3/4 cup and adding one of the following: 1 extra box of tofu, 1 cup of instant mashed potato flakes, 1 - 1 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice or 1 cup burger-style crumbles)
i found this recipe a while back with friends and we love it :)

The most BEST vegan meal I've ever made was some sort of stir fry!! I had cut up red potatoes, tomatoes, fresh green spinach/lettuse and other types of lettuce, carrots, bits of a boca burger and tofu!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE TOFU! yumm ;)
I had all of these ingredients sliced up and in a pan with vegetable oil, I put all the ingredients in and stirfried it all and I added soysauce in it so it was more asian! :) After everything seemd to be cooked, I added some more uncooked lettuce, because the lettuce shrivels up in the pan. =P
and then I put it in a bowl and ate it with chopsticks! :D

the best vegan meal i've ever made was...probably vegan blueberry pancakes.

Vanilla vegan chocolate butterfly cupcakes. :3
For cupcakes;
1 TB apple cider vinegar
1 ½ scant cups plain soymilk
2 1/8 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. kosher salt
1 1/8 cups sugar
½ cup oil
1 ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. coconut extract
Preheat the oven to 350º. Spray 22 muffin cups with nonstick spray or line with paper cupcake liners. Set aside.
Place the apple cider vinegar in the bottom of a liquid measuring cup and fill the cup with soymilk to equal 1 ½ cups. Stir well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another mixing bowl whisk together the soymilk mixture, canola oil, vanilla, and coconut extract. Add the wet to the dry ingredients and beat until smooth using a hand-held mixer, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Fill each muffin cup with ¼ cup of batter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean.
Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then remove cupcakes from the pan and place on a wire rack. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
For frosting;
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup margarine
Green food dye
1/8 cup vanilla soy milk
Some flower shaped soy sprinkles
Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, blend until creamy. The consistency of the frosting may vary. Add more sugar, margarine or soy milk as needed. Put a couple drops of the dye until you are happy with the color (the icing is meant to look like grass for the butterfly to go on.) After I put the frosting on, I added some pretty multicolored flower shaped sprinkles.
For butterfly;
All you need is some melted vegan chocolate and 2 plastic bags and your left over frosting.
Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Place the melted chocolate in a sealable plastic bag. Cut 1 corner from the bag to make a small hole. To make the butterfly wings, carefully pipe 24 heart shapes onto 1 lined tray.
To make the antennae, pipe 2cm lines, ending with a dot, onto the remaining lined tray. Set aside until the chocolate is set.
Insert 2 wings in the frosting. Pipe melted chocolate between wings to make a body. Insert 2 antennae into the top of each body.
And use another plastic bag with frosting to decorate your butterflies and make them extra pretty. :]

1. Place tofu between two plates, and weigh down with a heavy book. Allow tofu to drain for 1 hour, pouring out the expelled liquid every 20 minutes.
2. Whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat, stir in the garlic and ginger, and gently cook until lightly golden; stir into the soy sauce mixture.

Hey everyone!! My best vegan recipe has to be my version of "Huevos Rancheros". I made these with a friend on a hot summer day in Puerto Rico, where we are both from.
[the serving was enough for 2 hungry ladies, but you can always add more of everything! it's a fiesta type dish... made for sharing]
1 pack of silken tofu
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
1 green pepper
1/4 lb. mushrooms
2 large carrots
1/2 a head of lettuce
2 medium tomatos
1 avocado
1 green lemon
1/2 orange
1 spicy chilli [fresh & which ever you can handle]
1 handfull of cilantro
salt and pepper
and any other spice that goes good with your mexican tooth!!
olive oil
whole grain tortillas
step #1:
place the silken tofu, 1/4 of an onion, 1/2 of a green pepper, 1 garlic clove in a blender... pour in a bit of olive oil and a bit of your cilantro... mix to get it into a uniform mixture
step#2:
in a skillet, on medium heat, place a bit olive oil, 1/4 of an onion, 1/2 of a green pepper, 2 garlic cloves [finely chopped], 2 large carrots [chopped], 1/4 lb. of mushrooms [chopped]... let simmer until veggies are wilted... and your tofu mixture and stir well... season with salt and pepper... let simmer until the mixture looses most of its moisture [it is important to let it cook through because you want the raw onions and garlic in the tofu mixture to incorporate with the other veggies]... and in spices and cilantro to taste
step #3:
to make a salsa... chop half an onion, some cilantro, peel and chop the chilli [taking away the seeds makes it less spicy], chop a tomate... mix all together... add salt and pepper to taste... squeeze the juice of an orange [keeping the seeds out, if it has any]... pour into the mixture... you can squeeze a bit of lemon to taste
step #4:
chop half a head of lettuce, a tomate and an acovado... place each in a separate serving dish!!
step #5:
if desired, warm the whole grain tortillas!!
to serve:
place the skillet mixture in a bowl with a spoon, the salsa in another, and the lettuce, tomate, avocado, in their respective bowls... place the tortillas in a pile so everyone can have some! and enjoy!!
Delicious vegan meal:
TOFU RAMEN STIR-FRY!!
INGREDIENTS;
1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (3 ounce) packages Oriental flavored ramen noodles
1 (16 ounce) package frozen stir-fry vegetables
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste
Add to Recipe Box
DIRECTIONS;
1. Press tofu between paper towels to remove some of the water, cut in to bite size cubes. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu, and fry until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
2. Meanwhile bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add noodles from ramen packages, reserving the seasoning envelopes. Boil for about 2 minutes, just until the noodles break apart. Drain.
3. Add the stir-fry vegetables to the pan with the tofu, and season with the ramen noodle seasoning packet. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Add noodles, and stir to blend. Season with soy sauce to taste and serve.

Posted by: Alexandria Pascucci at March 6, 2009 5:36 PMMy favorite vegan meal is Tofu Vegetable stir fry. I use fresh vegetables (usually broccoli, asparagus, string beans, mushrooms, etc.), Japanese soba noodles, firm Tofu and Indian Masala sauce. I also toast sesame seeds and sprinkle them over the top for some added flavor. It makes for a very tasty asian type meal, and its great because you can always vary it up with different vegetables or other sauces, so its something youll never get tired of.

Posted by: Diana at March 6, 2009 5:46 PMThe best meal I made was a lasagna recipie from the vegan cookbook Veganomicon by Isa Moskowitz and Terry Romero. It was made with spinich linguine and home made basil-cilantro pesto (with almonds, garlic, and lemon) with artichoke hearts. It was SO delicious, even my mother ate it (and she doens't usually)!!

i like to make these things called vegetarian meatloaf cupcakes.
first,i put some morniingstar hamburger crumbles in a bowl and mix it with some stuffing and some other things.
then, i fill 2/3rds of a spot in a cupcake pan and make an indent with my thumbs in the middle.
next,i put a plop of spaghetti sauce in the middle and put it in the oven.
last,i sprinkle some cheese on top and put it back in the oven to melt.

I love foods that are quick and easy and able to bring to a potluck, so my favorite vegan dish of late is soyrizo stuffed mushrooms. Just buy some baby portabellos, de-stem them, and fill them with semi-cooked soyrizo. Then put them on a greased cookie sheet in the stove for a little while until slightly browned.

My best friend's mom made some DELICIOUS tofu noodle soup. The tofu stayed nice and firm-ish (not soggy... ew!) and it was intensely flavorful.
Posted by: Kendra at March 6, 2009 9:01 PMThe best vegan meal would have to be tofu chicken strips with home-made fries. It's not the most glamorous meal, but it tastes REALLY good.

The recipe is from the cook book vegan with a vengence:
http://www.amazon.com/Vegan-Vengeance-Delicious-Animal-Free-Recipes/dp/1569243581
Me and brother made the Isa vegan pizza, except the recipe called for two finely chopped garlic. We didn't have any finely chopped fresh garlic, but we had the garlic that comes in a package, all ground up. We weren't sure how much to put in it, so we put two huge spoonfuls of packaged garlic into the vegan pizzas. LOL
They tasted great, but were both sick afterwards.

Posted by: Screaming Chicken at March 6, 2009 9:42 PMVeggie Jambalaya
6 tablespoons olive oil (little under half a cup)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of minced shallots
1 cup diced of each: red onions, bell peppers, celery, yellow squash, zucchini,
2 cups diced of each: white onions, eggplant
1 12oz package of veg sausage crumbles
1 8oz package of veg chicken strips (chopped into cubes)
4 cups of ripe tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons of Creole seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (substitute chili powder for less heat)
4 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
4 cups brown rice
1 cup of tomato paste
7 cups of vegetable stock
1 1/2 cup of ketchup (this is optional for people who like it sweet, like me)
1/2 cup of sugar (also optional for people who like sweet jambalaya)
1 cup of chopped green onions
Directions:
You'll need a big soup pot to cook everything in and a big bowl to mix the vegetable stock / tomato paste mixture in as well.
Heat the olive oil in the large soup pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, shallots, red onions, bell peppers celery and white onions. Sauté them until they are tender, which takes me around 7 minutes. Add the yellow squash, zucchini and eggplant next. Sauté them until they are tender, around 5 minutes.
Next, add the veg sausage crumbles, the veg chicken strip cubes, the tomatoes, Creole seasoning, salt (if Creole seasoning doesn’t have salt in it), pepper, cayenne pepper, bay leaves, thyme and the brown rice. Stir it up nice and good, spending a few minutes getting everything combined.
Heat the tomato paste in a pan and stir it up while your heating it. You want to caramelize the tomato paste, not burn it. Don’t let it stick. Just heat it until it darkens a bit (on med heat, keep stirring). Once it’s caramelized (dark in color), add a little of the vegetable stock to the pan, to loosen the paste up a bit, stir it a few more times to combine it and then add the caramelized tomato paste to the rest of the 7 cups of vegetable stock in the big bowl. Using a whisk, mix the tomato paste / vegetable stock combination well. For a sweeter Jambalaya, add the optional ketchup and sugar and whisk the vegetable stock mixture thoroughly.
Add the vegetable stock mixture to the vegetables and rice in the big pan. Stir it all together well. Cover it up and cook it for around 30-40 minutes to give the rice time to suck up all the moisture. Don’t take the lid off or stir it or anything, just let it cook. Remove it from the heat. Let it sit for like 5 minutes. Add the green onions and mix, mix, mix! Once it’s all stirred up, serve it.
serve w/ vegan cornbread & coleslaw ummmm :)

The best vegan meal I had was when my family cooked an extraordinary meal for my friends at my sleepover. The first dish we started off with was mini pumpkin sage balls. They look like mini oranges wrapped in italian fried rice. This dish is part of my filipino italian heritage. When you bite into one the flavor just sinks into your tastebuds and waters your mouth. You can't resist one. Once you've tried it you're hooked. The mild but sweet pumpkin balls are soooooooo delicious. Your mouth fizzles with a kick but stablilized with a glitz of sweetness. It's kind of like good and bad put together to create an exqusite taste. Here are the instructions to make some. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
First you add 3 tbs. of canola oil but use a little extra for the sage leaves
3/4 cup of pumpkin puree
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
16 whole sage leavescup of finely diced onion
2 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh sage
2 cloves garlic, minced about 2 tsp.
3/4 cup of plain bread crumbs
1 large egg beaten
1/2 tsp.salt
24 sage leaves (24 balls)
A tobasco sauce or green pepper for dipping
Directions:
1. preheat the oven for 375 degrees farenheit. Start to spray the pan with cooking spray. Heat the oil on a little medium low heat.
Start to sautee the onions for 10 minutes or for a brown texture. Keep stirring. You can start to add the garlic and chopped sage. Cook for two minutes and switch to a different bowl.
2. Add the salt, egg, pumpkin puree pepper, and breadcrumbs in the bowl with the sauteed onions. Roll the mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls and transfer to a baking sheet. Let it bake for 10 ot 15 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Pour oil in the bottom of the skillet until the pan is 1/8 inch coated. Keep heated until you see that glistening oil shine. Then cover pan with a single layer of sage leaves and start frying 20-30 minutes.Time to transfer to a plate and sprinkle a little salt. Perfecto! The serving of the pumpkin balls are so mouthwatering. Don't forget the green pepper sauce.
Best veggie meal I've ever made was a pasta dish I created with whole wheat spaghetti. Then in a small pot, I put in some veggie ground round & almonds, cooked on the stovetop with some olive oil. I added spinach & raisins to the mix when that was almost done, then added the contents of the pot to my spaghetti. Finished off with some pine nuts & drizzled with a little more olive oil, makes for a very yummy dinner :)

Posted by: Marilyn Wons at March 7, 2009 7:43 AMThe best vegan recipe that I've ever made was actually my first.
Earlier this year, I started trying vegan recipes. The first that I tried was "Orange Chicken-style Tofu." Here's how you make it:
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 block extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or adjusted to your taste
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
hot cooked rice
Directions:
Cut tofu into bite sized pieces. Saute in 2 tablespoons oil until browned.
Saute garlic and green onions in saucepan using remaining 1 tablespoon oil until garlic is golden.
Add water, orange juice, lemon juice, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium.
Then mix together cornstarch and water until it's blended. Pour cornstarch mixture into sauce, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until sauce thickens to your liking. Remove from heat and combine with tofu until completely coated. Serve over rice.
This recipe is THE that I've ever made. I even convinced my anti-tofu mom to try some, and she even loved it. The bold flavors and versatility of this recipe (it can easily become a stir-fry) first proved to me that being vegan isn't a sacrifice of good food or flavor. I'm grateful that this recipe was my first; it's definitely worth trying!

2 cloves garlic, minced (or more, i love garlic so I put lots in)
3 ribs celery, diced small
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 package Melissa's Soyrizo (imitation Chirizo)

1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
dash Chalula hot sauce *optional*

Add the seasonings, and Soyrizo, Be sure to stir well so the soy doesn’t stick.
Add the tomatoes, vegan chick strips, stock, and rice, stir well. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
Serve with dash of hot sauce if desired.
Serves: 4-6
Preparation time: 30 minutes
This is the best meal ever.

Posted by: Gayle Morgan at March 7, 2009 1:49 PMHawaiin Islands Cake w/ Pineapple-Coconut Frosting
Cake:
3/4 cup macadamia nuts
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 T. cornstarch
2 t. baking powder
2 t. baking soda
3/4 cup dates, pitted
2/3 cup water, divided
1 cup frozen pineapple-orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 T. safflower oil
1/2 t. coconut extract
1/4 t. almond extract
1/4 t. rum extract
1/3 cup crushed pineapple
Pineapple-Coconut Tofu Frosting:
1 - 12.3 oz. kg Mori-Nu silken style tofu, extra firm
1/2 cup frozen pineapple-orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 T. maple syrup
1/2 t. cider or white vinegar
1 T. cornstarch
1 T. water
1/2 t. rum extract
1/8 t. coconut extract
Begin preparing the cake by placing the macadamia nuts and shredded coconut on separate non-stick cookie sheets, and bake them at 325 degrees for 3-7 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Allow the macadamia nuts to cool and then roughly chop them. Transfer 3 T. each of the chopped macadamias and shredded coconut to a small bowl and set aside for garnishing the frosted cake. Place the remaining chopped macadamias and shredded coconut in another small bowl and set aside. Lightly oil a 9-inch springform pan and set aside. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda, and set aside.
In a small saucepan, place the dates and 1/3 cups water, and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes or until dates are soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Remove them from the heat and set aside to cool for 2 minutes. Transfer the slightly cooled dates and any remaining cooking liquid to a food processor or blender. Add the pineapple-orange juice concentrate, remaining 1/3 cups water, safflower oil, coconut, almond, and rum extracts, and puree for 2 minutes or until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Add the reserved macadamia nut-coconut mixture (larger amount) and crushed pineapple and gently fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a rack to cool for 20 minutes, remove the ring, and allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.
To prepare the frosting, begin by pressing the silken tofu. To do so, place a colander over a bowl, place a natural unbleached coffee filter in the colander, place the block of tofu in the coffee filter, cover the tofu with another coffee filter, place a plate on top of the filter, and place a large can or other heavy object on top of the plate. Place the colander in the refrigerator for 1 hour (or overnight) to drain. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, place the pineapple-orange juice concentrate, maple syrup, and cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering juice mixture and continue to cook, while whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens. In a food processor or blender, place the pressed silken tofu, thickened juice mixture, rum and coconut extracts, and puree for 1-2 minutes or until very smooth and creamy. Spread the tofu frosting over the top only of the cooled cake and then sprinkle the remaining reserved macadamia nut-coconut mixture over the frosting. Using a warm knife, cut the cake into 12 pieces before serving.
Yield: One 9-inch cake or 12 pieces
And then there were none are the best!

Posted by: Semyon Marchuk at March 7, 2009 3:33 PMthe best vegan meal i've ever made was probably one i made today for my boyfriend and i.
now we all know how frustrating soup is because almost all soups are not veg*n-friendly.
so i went ahead and made some vegan soup today.
i started by putting watered down veggie stock and garlic salt in.
and i added carrots, potatoes, cabbage, onions, and rice.
then my mom gave me a tip to put a bay leaf on top to let the flavor get into the soup [i took it out when it was done.]
and i heated it up to a boil, then kept it on a low heat for a few hours.
i tried a sip and it tasted AMAZING.

Yumyum veggie wonton puffs.
Ingredients:
Oil (just enough to cover the puffs)
Wonton wraps
tofu
Mushrooms
green peppers
Cabbage
carrots
cayenne pepper (optional)
garlic (optional)
Water in a small bowl.
First, put the oil in a large pot, turning your stove on medium high (not on high because you dont want an oil fire do you?)
Throughout this prociedure, stir the oil and turn the heat down if the oil starts to smoke.
now, prep your vegetables, make them very small (small so you can stuff all the yummy stuff in the wonton wrap!!), it would be preferable to use a sharp knife to do this, BUT DON'T CUT YOURSELF.
Next, take your tofu of desired firmness and put it into the bowl with your spices (BAM!) and veggies and use a potato masher (is what I used) to cream the tofu in with the spices and veggies, making sure its well mixed (you don't want random pockets of cayenne pepper to take you do surprise).
Now comes the fun slimy part. lay out your wonton wraps, Dip your hand in the water, and run a wet finger around the edge of the wonton.
Now take a spoonful of that wierd looking filling and put it on half the wonton, folding the wrap over the tofu filling and pinching it shut.
Repreat this for as many wonton wraps as you have.
Now use an extra little wonton wrap you have and drop it into the oil to check if its hot enough.
It is if the piece of wanton fries right up. if it takes a second, its not hot enough.
when the oil is hot enough put the little wonton tofu wraps in and fry them until theyre a pretty golden brown color.
place them on newspaper to cool and enjoy.
Serve with rice or alone as a snack.

I'm at a loss for the exact recipe right now, but the best vegan meal I've ever made is a simple tomato sandwich.
Basically, toast two pieces of bread, cover them in Tofutti Cream Cheese, put on some tomatoes, onions, and whatever spices or anything else you like, then use your favorite vegan butter on the outside and grill it up on a frying pan.
It's absolutely amazing and I don't think I've ever made a better sandwich (vegan or otherwise)!

Posted by: Cassie at March 7, 2009 4:09 PMThe best vegan meal I've ever made would have to be Loaded Mustard Noodles.
Ingredients:
1 pack of any flavored Ramen Noodles (you won't be using the packet)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion flakes
a whole bunch of Tony Sachery's Creole Seasoning (as much as you want, I'm a Cajun girl and love my spice)
Four Tablespoons mustard
#1: Break the noodles into four parts before opening the pack (unless you WANT a mess) and put into a bowl with the onion flakes (do whatever you want with the packet, just don't put it in the bowl with the noodles)
#2: Cook the Ramen noodles the way you normally would, making sure not too much water is left in, but making sure there's SOME.
#3: Mix in the garlic powder, then add the seasoning, mixing well.
#4: When everything's together, put the mustard in and mix together.
#5: Enjoy this creation.
I came up with that myself when I'd ran out of oriental noodles and only had my brother's chicken noodles left. I was NOT going to starve, lol.

Posted by: Andreana Tarleton at March 7, 2009 5:02 PMwell im not sure what i made was but it was extremely good and i had no serving size or anything so it was mostly whatever the hell i felt like putting into it :D
so i grabbed two flour tortillas and put them in the stove to let them toast a little and they could be crunchy and while at it i heated a boca vegeterian pattie and i also heated some spaghetti sause in the microwave. i chopped some onions tomatoes and and also those little onions with the green thing...yeah so that part you chop it up too and then you cut up the vegetarian patti like crumbled "beef" and mix in the spaghetti sauce in the stove and add your vegies and put some pepper and salt and cheese. then you put one toritilla in a plate add your little delicious mis and place the other tortilla on top. :D so i dont have the best english and i tend to forgot what things are called but hopefully all of you had paticenc reading this. thank you!

yesterday... a vegan quesadilla with rice, black beans, jalapenos and peppers. it was absolutely amazing.
[[small]]
I think these things are called "sloppy janes" a friend of mine made them and they were excellent.
What you will need:
Dinner Rolls, whole-wheat, 4 roll (hamburger)
Quorn, Grounds, 2 servings
Beans, pinto, 0.5 cup (canned)
*Rice, Kraft Minute Whole Grain Brown Rice, 0.5 cup
Hunt’s Manwich Original Sloppy Joe Sauce, 0.75 cup
Dill Pickles, 4 spear
What to do:
Combine minute rice and water in large microwave-safe dish and heat on high as per box directions. Can substitute left over brown rice already prepared.
Add to cooked brown rice: quorn or other ground beef substitute, pinto beans, and manwich sauce in microwave-safe dish. Note, adjust manwich sauce to your prefered consistency... less for sturdier Janes, and more for sloppier Janes. Cover and heat on high for 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated through. Stir frequently to ensure even heating.
Make sandwiches easily! Use a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop to evenly distribute heaping scoops of filling onto bottom of buns. Top with a pickle spear and top half of bun.
If you're making this for fewer than four, you can transfer the filling into a freezer-safe container where it will happily wait until your next Sloppy Jane craving arrives. It saves me time and money to make a full batch using all of the sauce and beans and save the extras for when I need my next Sloppy Jane fix.
Enjoy!
Number of Servings: 4
I don't know if she added anything else. I had to look this up on the internet so this is not her exact way of making this, but I am sure it's close.

Posted by: SANDY at March 7, 2009 8:51 PMI made vegan cheesecake! It was pretty nummy. I blended all the filling ingredients (tofu) in the blender (note: do NOT take off the lid, even a little bit, to get a closer look at all the vegan goodness spinning around inside the blender) and then poured it in the crust and baked it in the oven! and voila, bon apetite!

Posted by: wendy liu at March 8, 2009 11:41 AMFortunately, incorporating more earth-friendly fare into your menu does not require slimy tofu or weird vegetables. Long gone are the days of rice cakes and baby carrots. Eating a vegan meal now and then is a great way to live a little greener.
Here is one of my personal favorites:)
Sloppy Janes!
The great thing about this recipe is that it’s really easy to make. Actually there are two great things: it uses tempeh, which is an extra-chewy type of tofu that is perfect if you’re a meat eater. Tempeh holds sauces really well - in fact it’s similar to chicken nuggets in terms of consistency. If you are new to tempeh, you’ll find that the taste is really nutty and satisfying. One thing that a lot of vegan meals miss is that all-important rich mouthfeel - the Japanese call this fatty, meaty taste umami, or the fifth taste.
And I cannot forget my favorite desert:
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
That’s right - one of the best aphrodisiacs around (not to mention tastiest desserts) is vegan. You’ll need chocolate…and…strawberries. That’s it. Delicious.

Posted by: at March 8, 2009 12:51 PMmy favorite vegan meal is super easy.
both the salad and the chili recipe are adapted to be made vegan from family recipes.
stick a baked potato in the oven and let it heat up at around 300 degrees
then in a large pot on medium heat on the stove add
2 cans of tomatoes
1 can of black beans
1 can of kidney beans
tomato juice (around a cup or two)
chili powder (this you can add as much or as little as you like. I recommend starting with just shaking in a bit, and then personalize as much or as little as you want when you dish it out for your self.)
let the chili simmer at medium heat, turn it down if its a raging boil, you only want it to simmer, let this sit for 1-2 hours
then when the potato and the chili is ready
split the potato in a bowl
top with chili
and then top it with your favorites
i top mine with chili powder and onion
but its good with vegan cheese or vegan sour cream
just dress it up your way
you can also try adding vegan meat crumbles into the chili
on the side i like a salad
ice berg lettuce chopped (you can add some darker green if you'd like)
fresh green beans (they should just been boiled lightly. they should still have some snap to them. run them under cold water when they are done)
fresh snow/snap peas. (i buy them in the bean and spilt the shells my self. you can add them shell and all if you want. thats super good too.
toss everything together and top with olive oil and lemon, add salt and pepper to your liking.
and for desert, lemon gem cupcakes, recipe from vegan with a vengeance.
these three are some of my favorite foods.
and the lemon gem cupcakes are a hit with all my non-vegan friends. they would poke fun at me being vegan and that i couldn't enjoy food. but then i made these. brought them to school. they ate them right up, and they were all saying "those are sooooo good". and thats when i broke the good news. they were vegan. they no longer say anything negative about me being vegan.
i wear an adult small. =]
i hope someone enjoys they recipes

Posted by: brent jones at March 9, 2009 2:50 PMI cook with Tofu in all my recipes. Love it!
Posted by: Michele at March 9, 2009 3:26 PMthe best vegan meal i ever made was miso soup. Miso soup is a japanese dish that is so healthy because it includes tofu, seaweed, mushrooms, soy, sesame, and non-fat noodles. It's perfect for cold weather and the soup would be nothing without the delectable tofu.
Tofu is so healthy as well, since it's low-fat and high in protein, iron, and much others.
Vegan food couldn't taste any better!
That looks really good I'm like salivating here, I want to make it.
I have two easy quick meals that I like to make.
A yummy easy quick meal that I love is Top Ramen noodles(any kind it doesn't matter b/c you won't use the flavoring packet). You cook the ramen noodles, then drain all of the water out then mix in black beans, as many as desired. Then top it off with lots of organic medium salsa! :)
I also love cooking my tofu that I have frozen that is already cut up in thin slices in a frying pan. I put in some olive oil, put the stove on medium-high, cover and flip when the tofu is golden crunchy brown then cook other side. When done get excess oil out with paper towels put on a plate with ketchup and you have some yummy 'junk' food. You could serve with some vegan fries baked in the oven and you have a meal better then the drive through and with no cruelty!
Also, I have made the 'chicken strips' from the vegetarian starter kit and they are delicious hot!

Posted by: Kelly at March 9, 2009 9:14 PMI make great veggie "meatballs" using a package of tofu, 1/2 bag of TVP (textured vegetable protein), soy sauce and garlic pepper salt. I eat them in spaghetti, put them in chili, tacos, burritos, or, for a variation, add tomato sauce, onions, peppers, and an egg to thr recipe to make a veggie "meatloaf".
Posted by: Carla at March 10, 2009 10:34 AMthe vegan meal i ever made was eggplant "steaks" with stuffed green peppers
2 red peppers
can of corn
onions
mushrooms
and other veggies of your choice.
cook all the vegs together except for the red peppers and cut them in half and put the vegs in and stick on the BBQ for 2 minutes while the egplant "steaks" finish cooking.
with that i had fried tofu...mmmmmmmmmmm. tofu... im really lazy with fried tofu so i just put it in olive oil and soy sauce and fry it up... salty and crispy...

Posted by: leslie long at March 11, 2009 7:38 PMmy favourite vegan foods are usually salads with lots in them, but for summertime fun, I like to make simple kabobs...I marinate fresh organic red bell pepper,red onion chunks, pineapple, garlic cloves and tofu cubes (extra firm) and tempeh cut to cubes with some bbq sauce or simply tamari with fresh ginger and olive oil...once marinated I put all the pieces on to the metal skewers and they cook on the grease free bbq or hibachi.Everyone loves this simple yet delicious kabob...

Posted by: mary at March 12, 2009 9:30 AMMy most favorite vegan meal is Eggplant Parmesan. I found I can substitute slice of firm tofu for the parmesan, bread it and fry it for a minute. It's wonderful and my kids like it to.
Posted by: Misti Johndrow at March 12, 2009 1:56 PMMy favorite vegan meal would have to be quick and easy nuggets.
You would buy veggie burgers preferably asian boca.
put them on the stove 2-3 mins top.
chop them up into tiny pieces, and sprinkle whatever flavors you like.
finsih off with chips and all natural orange juice.
My favorite meal was tasty mexican tacos. I make most of my food from scratch so I know what's in it, but I did use soy crumbles for 'meat'. It was a typical meal with tortillas, veggies, salsa, refried beans, etc. However, my family isn't vegan. I made the whole meal and didn't tell them they were eatting vegan until they finished and told me how good it was. It was a little sneaky, but I changed their view of 'having' to eat meat, eggs, and dairy.

Posted by: Melanie C at March 13, 2009 4:32 PMI've been eating on-the-run and found that Wendy's Fast Food Restaurant has baked potato with veggie toppings. I carry Betty Crocker soy made "bacon" bits and Lawry's Garlic Pepper seasoning and they make just about all meals taste good.
Posted by: Lenae Lee at March 13, 2009 4:37 PMI make a great lentil soup!
Posted by: Helen at March 13, 2009 5:26 PMWell first you need some lettuce then you need some croutons and whatever kind of dressing you want. You put some fake parmasian cheese on their with some fake bacon and you get a good fake salad For some spice throw on Jalapeno's and just for more crunch throw in some cucombers. Thats your salad then get some potatoes and mash them all up and for the gravy you do everything like normal gravy but instead of using meat use Long noodle soup spices that they have in mr. noodles.
I probally didn't win but I'm a mens small

you will need
Loaf of Italian or French bread (a baguette), preferably stale

noodles, extra virgin oil, and
this packet of green stuff!

DIRECTIONS
1. Make the sauce: In a large, heavy saucepan, over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Place the onions in the saucepan and saute them until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic; cook 5 minutes more.
2. Place the tomatoes, tomato paste, basil and parsley in the saucepan. Stir well, turn the heat to low and let the sauce simmer covered for 1 hour. Add the salt and pepper.
3. While the sauce is cooking bring a large kettle of salted water to a boil. Boil the lasagna noodles for 9 minutes, then drain and rinse well.
4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
5. Place the tofu blocks in a large bowl. Add the garlic, basil and parsley. Add the salt and pepper, and mash all the ingredients together by squeezing pieces of tofu through your fingers. Mix well.
6. Assemble the lasagna: Spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole pan. Arrange a single layer of lasagna noodles, sprinkle one-third of the tofu mixture over the noodles. Distribute the spinach evenly over the tofu. Next ladle 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce over the tofu, and top it with another layer of the noodles. Then sprinkle another 1/3 of the tofu mixture over the noodles, top the tofu with 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce, and place a final layer of noodles over the tomato sauce. Finally, top the noodles with the final 1/3 of the tofu, and spread the remaining tomato sauce over everything.
7. Cover the pan with foil and bake the lasagna for 30 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy.
