I added more salt, pepper, garlic and onions though since it was way too for stale for me.<BR/><BR/>The Jerk Tofu looks great, I think I might try this recipe!Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843977439200051570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869045441796511759.post-78032570795610322008-01-28T15:19:00.000-05:002008-01-28T15:19:00.000-05:00I'm definitely going to add that jerk tofu to my l...I'm definitely going to add that jerk tofu to my list of things to try.ChocolateCoveredVeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535445175195773771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869045441796511759.post-24930967350830514832008-01-28T10:52:00.000-05:002008-01-28T10:52:00.000-05:00I've been meaning to try those chickpea cutlets!

Lets see if I can sell my parents on something other than tofu.<BR/>My bf is an omi, I guess, but meat and animal products really dominate his diet so he's tough to cook for. Its a fun challenge to try and get him to eat healthier without being preachy. ("Hamburgers for lunch AND dinner?! Eat some KALE!")<BR/>And yeah, now that I've successfully tried that recipe I'm looking into getting Atlas' cookbook- supposedly it is full of quick family meals.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789340756441897159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869045441796511759.post-48265619454040227272008-01-28T10:01:00.000-05:002008-01-28T10:01:00.000-05:00Good point about how it is difficult to eat "tradi...Good point about how it is difficult to eat "traditional" American foods that are vegan. We really don't have many that are vegan "naturally", so we have to adapt the recipes how we can. Most other countries really do have many more options (some almost exclusively) for non-meat, dairy, egg, honey eaters.<BR/><BR/>I am with you though, it is not at all as if I don't love the worldly cuisine I eat on a regular basis, I just wish there was something more from my "roots" if you will, that I could make, something American that is vegan. The closest I have been able to come up with to the "All American (Vegan) Meal" has been Veganomicon's Chickpea Cutlets smothered with Mushroom gravy, garlic mashed potatoes, and a salad.<BR/><BR/>That Jerk Tofu looks yummy! Nava Atlas has a lot of good recipes, eh? Is your boyfriend an omni? The reason I ask is that you seemed a bit surprised that he ate all his tofu. My boyfriend is a omni, but luckily for me he is very excepting and willing to try new things. I know many 'o men who would not be caught dead within ten feet of tofu, let alone a lot of the other "weird" things we eat.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.com
