Peanut Butter Organic Plum Asian Noodles with Vegetables


 Namaste Asian Peanut Butter Noodles with Vegetables
 You might try organic buckwheat noodles, with a lower glycemic index. These noodles
are easy to find in a health food grocery. The Plum flavored noodles are a beautiful pink
when cooked, their flavor is mild and not sweet, they may have extra antioxidants.
Why watch your glycemic index? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic
The Peanut Butter Sauce is fantastic and easy, great for many dishes, kids love it too.

Sunny Scrambled Tofu & Oven Roasted Rosemary Fries


Scrambled Tofu
I know, but I swear it's really good and healthy too!
1 14 oz block firm or extra firm tofu
drain and squeeze out extra moisture, set aside
Saute all, in  3 Tbs olive oil:
 1/4  chopped onion or green onion
1/4 or more green pepper 
1 roma tomato
Add:
1/4 tsp tumeric
1/4 tsp curry powder*
1 Tbs tamari (quality soy sauce)
sea salt, pepper or cayenne to taste
Add mashed drained tofu stir and cover let simmer 10 minutes; 
remove cover simmer 5 more min. on low until the liquid evaporates.


You can sprinkle nutritious yeast on this, adds a cheesy flavor and a kick of B vitamins.
I also like an herbal blend called Trocomare or Herbamare made by A.Vogel
If you can get fresh cilantro this is great in it, chives, lemon thyme, or hot sauce.
If you have some seasonings you like try those. 
Tofu is bland you have to coax it into having some flavor.
