Beef-ish Stew. I used the base recipe below and added to a little extra seasoning, a combination of Upton’s plain seitan and beyond steak bites and gravy master to aid color development. Delish on a chilly evening!

What’s this you ask? It’s tofu eggz, perfect for a McMuffin type sandwich. You can always use the frozen Just Egg patties as well but some people don’t like those or want a cheaper option. Here it is. I do mine in the air fryer, you can oven bake them too and keep in the fridge all week. If you want them yolky you can make a simple vegan hollandaise sauce. Both recipes here. I do add a small amount of black salt to the eggz. I prefer tempeh bacon (4 slices only 120 calories 👍🏻), others may like a vegan sausage patty like Beyond or LightLife. Half slice of vegan smoked Gouda. Delish ….
All can be premade and easy to grab from the fridge and microwave all week!

Vegan Bolognese Sauce (Mushroom Based)
I’ve done lentil bolognese as well. I of course eliminated the oil and walnuts to lower the fat content (so I could eat the brownies 🤫 with less guilt) and added some more tomatoes.

Frosted Fudgy Walnut Brownies from Be A Plant Based Woman Warrior Cookbook. Check out Jane Esselstyn on YouTube for a video or grab the book on Amazon. I feel like this could be more of a meal than a dessert. It’s kind of filling. A little different mouthfeel but with all the right satisfaction.
