BBQ PIZZA

Before:


CRUST
Ok, first the no yeast herb crust from HOW IT ALL VEGAN is like, the best thing ever. I use it all the time (but I use nutritional yeast instead of vegan parmesan, add extra herbs and extra garlic powder!). I would recommend baking it 5 minutes before piling on stuff.

SAUCE
I made an alfredo sauce. Get some tofu (soft or silken if possible, but if not, no biggie), cube it and boil it for 5 minutes to get rid of the beany flavor. I add some boullion and add like 3/4 cup of water slowly while blending it all. If I need some more herbs or salt, I throw it in. (This can be used as an alfredo pasta sauce too!)

THE GOODS
Fresh spinach
chunked portabella
chopped fire roasted peppers
chopped onion
Cubed Riblets (set out to thaw for about 10 min)
Cheddar Sheese (I used a fancy hard-cheese hand held grater thingy that you turn and it spits it out- like shaved ice!)


After:


Holy crap I think my mom is more in love with this than I am!!
Like I said, the Sheese doesn't melt so much as get soft, but that's fine!

**I usually pan fry Chikn Strips with BBQ sauce for this, but the riblets were handy and still totally good!**

BBQ!

1. My BBQ definition: it is an activity, not a food.
2. I bought a grill! I busted out my new small grill and put it on my small patio and put tiny veg kabobs on it!
3. Flames!



My neighbor and I had green pepper, onion, mushroom, and tofu patty on our sticks. We also had some Japanese pumpkin on the other sticks.

Since I haven't found lighter fluid for regular charcoal, I had to buy self-starting briquettes. This gave off a terrible chemical smell and flavor. I do not recommend using it!

Saucy baked tofu and friends

After waking up late on Sunday, amazingly, I wasn't craving pancakes. I decided to forgo breakfast and go straight into lunch as it was 12:30. I was feeling a bit saucy.


On a toaster oven tray place:

-3 thin slices of tofu, with a mix of oil and BBQ-ish sauce brushed on it.
-leftover brown rice with saffron, with frozen veggies and garam masala sauce (in an aluminum DIY pocket)
-frozen french fries (whatever will fit)

Your tray will look like an in-flight meal!

Toast (or in a real oven) at 170C/350F for 30 min-ish or untli fries are done.



Coulda been saucier! Next time I will marinade the whole slice, not just the top.
