saturday morning mash...

joe's gone to yoga and the girls are still sleeping. time to make saturday morning mash! i like to sit in the morning on my couch in the kitchen (yeah, that's right, i broke the social norm rules of where furniture is placed in a people house) and think about my day and try to wrap my brain around being awake. 

first step is to fry up the fake sausage. 1/2 pack sausage and 1/2 bell pepper chopped

 i like the gimme lean's sausage. i put a little olive oil in a pan and let it get pretty hot. then just fry up and chop it up....pretty easy...now that it is all nice and brown, place it on a cookie sheet in the oven (on warm)

half of a 32 oz. bag of frozen southern style cubes hash browns.

same deal. nice hot olive oil. maybe throw in a little hing and fresh ground pepper, then toss the tatters in. when they get nice and brown, move them to that cookie sheet with the sausage and chopped peppers.

now for the tofu :)

once again, small amount of olive oil heated up.

1 teaspoon-ish black mustard seeds

let sit in the oil until they start to pop! then quickly add...

1/2 teaspoon hing

1 teaspoon turmeric

2 packs of tofu

stir and break up tofu. if you want the tofu a bit more yellow, just add a bit more turmeric.

add 1 1/2 teaspoon salt

splash of braggs liquid amino

cover and simmer....the tofu will get quite watery as it cooks. this is good..because next after it has cooked for several minutes you will add....

4 to 6 table spoons nutritional yeast 

this mixes with the watery stuff and makes a freaking killer sauce!

now just simmer for a few minutes then add all the stuff you have sitting in the oven!

get yourself a lovely cup o coffee and maybe a slice of toast....scrumptious!!!
