Ok, so this was a Tofu Scramble, with leftover Potatoes from my Vegan Fall Bake from the day before, Avocado, Salsa and Vegan Sausages
With the Tofu, I lay out some Paper Towels, cut the Tofu into Slices (1/2 inch thick), and lay them on the Paper Towel
I then lay another Paper Towel on top
This helps to dry the Tofu which can be wet, I didn’t do this forever, but I do it now, and it’s much better
Put some Olive Oil in the skillet, crumble the Tofu into the pan, I like to add tomato and mushrooms, but you can use what you like
I hit it with Pepper, sometimes Garlic Powder, sometimes Curry
The Left Over Potatoes I just place in the pan to reheat them, the Vegan Sausages I cook on a different skillet
After it’s done, I just put the Avocado and Salsa on…

I recently began making Vegan Burgers out of ‘Beyond Beef’, instead of ‘Beyond Burgers’… They’re the same company, but the Beyond Beef comes in a package where they aren’t made into patties… Beyond Burgers are shaped like patties
I cut the Beyond Beef package into four pieces, then I grab one of the four pieces, and mix it with Bar B Q Sauce and Garlic Powder, like I did years ago with actual burger… For some reason, these taste better to me than the patties, though the patties are also good… I eat both for variety, but the hand made patties taste better to me for some reason
Ingredients:
Coleslaw Prep:
Cut up Cabbage, put into a Tupperware or other type of container, put in as much Veganaise as you like…

Breakfast
Ingredients:
It’s supposed to be 113 Degrees nearby today… It was 111 there yesterday, and 107 where I’m at
I’m a Creative Writer… I don’t write these kind of pieces very often
But I’m pleading now
The time for meat and dairy as a major food source has come, and gone (Aside from impoverished areas of the planet Etc.)
I know you don’t want to hear or believe this… And/or are tired of hearing it, because you don’t want to give up the taste of meat and dairy… I understand, this is not a judgment, this is just where we’re at as a planet
Between the deforestation to create areas to grow crops to feed the massive amount of animals, and/or to create space for them to be, coupled with the methane gasses the animals put into the atmosphere, we are killing/heating our planet
I know you’ve heard this all before… But it’s not a trend to be Vegan (Though it is trending), it’s a game changer in regards to what’s happening to our planet
I live in Southern California, we’ve been dealing with ‘fire season’ for decades… But the fires in 2018, because of the change in climate, moved faster than ever before… I know, they came a mile from burning our family home of 46 years
As the fire came over the nearby peak, our house phones started to ring, with recorded messages signalling a Red Alert
We were pretty sure we were going to lose everything, and many did
The only reason we didn’t, was because the wind direction never sent it directly to our little valley of homes, only the mountains all around it
Like I say, I don’t really write these kind of posts… But the truth is, most of us are reactionary by nature, as apposed to proactive
This is true in most ways
Even me writing this post is reactionary to when I heard last night that it was going to reach 113 degrees today
Most of the improvements we’ve made along the way have been reactionary, but the problem with taking that stance with environmental issues, is the issues have accumulated, and we barely have time to do anything about it
But we can now, you can
I am not judging Humans/us when I say we are generally self indulgent creatures
Most of us work very hard to survive, and we desire things that make us feel good to offset the stress and or exhaustion of the day to day
We have been self indulgent with meat and dairy, and its really messing everything up
Yes, there are other ways that we need to change as a world to save this place not just for the future, but for the now
But animal agriculture has a huge impact, and most of us look the other way, because we don’t want to change… To many of us, it’s like downgrading our life to do so… But I promise as a vegan of 7 years, it’s not
It made me a more imaginative cook, yes… But that has only made food taste better than before I stopped eating milk and dairy
In fact, well there are and have been many righteous vegans out there screaming at people to change, it is my belief that it’s better if we help show the way, and offer any suggestions/recipes we can
Which is why I started a Vegan Blog several years back (Here’s the Link James Cooks Vegan)
Not all of these Recipes are ‘healthy’, but that wasn’t the point
Whether we eat healthy or not, is and has always been our personal choice
But it does include both healthy, and less healthy dishes
The reason I created that Blog was to offer my help/a bridge for people who want to start to move towards Veganism, and or outright change to Veganism
Like I say, yelling at people to change rarely works, and it isn’t who I am
Who I am, is a compassionate human being trying to help with the transition of something that could otherwise potentially cause global devastation
And lets face it, most of us will never have the resources to fly to Mars
Most of us are here, and aren’t going anywhere
Anyway, nuff said
I appreciate you listening/reading
DarkJade- (James)
