Hey friends!
Here’s a recipe that I sometimes live off of when money’s tight. It’s super simple and tasty!
TOFU STIR FRY -Try it w/JP’s-PB-Sauce!
It’s simple. Go out to the cheap grocery store and pick up a bag of frozen veggies, (usually around $3-$6 dollars) a little pack of tofu, (I prefer the firm kind, usually costs a couple bucks) and if you don’t already have it in your fridge; honey, garlic and soya sauce –and if you want to get crazy, some peanut butter.
Mince up 2-3 cloves of garlic and throw it in your pan with olive oil or whichever oil you cook with. Let that simmer for about a minute, then throw in your tofu. (I chop the pack in half. Using one half I cut that into cubes).
Cook on medium heat and pour in about a tablespoon of soya sauce and teaspoon of honey. Sprinkle on pepper and a teeeeny-tiny bit of salt if the soya sauce didn’t already make it salty enough. Once you brown the tofu throw in some frozen veggies and more soya sauce if needed and pop on a lid for a few minutes. Cook till the veggies are no longer frozen, obviously. Unless you’re a special kind of person who enjoys eating partially frozen vegetables. Whatever floats your boat.
If you want a little more protein try this out for size:
In a separate pot combine a tablespoon of milk, (or water if you don’t have milk) 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, half, to one teaspoon of honey, and if it needs it, a splash of soya sauce. Simmer this like you would if you were melting chocolate: don’t put the pot directly on the stove top. Put a pan with water underneath the pot so that your peanut butter doesn’t get all weird. Cook it until you have a nice, melted, somewhat thick, liquid consistency. Then throw that in with your tofu and veg stir fry -MMM!
If you aren’t a peanut butter person, try it with almond butter or sesame nut butter, or whatever kind of butter you want! Obviously the consistency and taste may change a bit, but don’t panic, it’s all good 🙂
DEAL FIND OF THE WEEK:
I’m not usually a fast food type of gal, but I walked past a Dairy Queen the other day and saw their $6 meal deal. This comes with a burger, fries, drink AND a sundae! I thought this might intrigue some of you starving artists! I’m sure it’s delicious… okay fine, I tried it one time -and yes, it was delicious! Except I changed up my sundae for a blizzard -BOOM BABY! Did I not feel that excellent after consuming this meal deal? Well, the answer to that is obvious, but hey, it is what it is.
Hope you’re all having a beautifully inspiring week! Lana Del Rey just released some new stuff and UGH my heart! That voice, the production, them strings -hubba hubba. Melts my heart.
Just a little update on me: Currently in post editing with the music video, creating some other fun little vids, prepping for the release of the single, submitting for summer music festivals, working four jobs and writing some new tunes that I am especially excited about 🙂 However today, Sunday, I took half to the day off and was a lazy bum and ate pancakes with coffee and baileys. Ahhh Sunday relay-taxy time. But now it’s time to work on some submissions, so I fare-thee well!
Love you crazy kids!
