So, it’s Valentine’s Day again. For you, that might mean a romantic evening with your significant other, a fun gathering with your Galentines, or a night in for self-care. Either way, there’s no reason to feel excluded from this holiday, because we can all celebrate our first love: Food!
Whether you’re vegan or not, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to show your love for our beautiful planet, precious animals, and your health by feasting on a plant-based menu for your celebration.

You’ve probably heard of tofu and all the ways you can prepare it, but have you heard of tofu’s lesser-known cousin, tempeh? If you like plant-based protein and enjoy tofu, but sometimes want something a little chewier, you should try it!
There’s something really satisfying about making a recipe from start to finish using a cookbook. In this digital age, it’s easy to find how to make almost anything you can imagine online, but we love the art of the cookbook. Beyond being little nuggets of wisdom from bonafide food professionals, they’re ridiculously beautiful creations. If you’re reading this blog, you’re probably a foodie just like us and enjoy the gorgeous culinary photography and design that goes into modern cookbooks. If you’re looking for recommendations, we’ve got ‘em. Here are some of our favorites:
For our final stop on the Tofu Tour, I decided to choose a recipe that was a little different than the other four we’ve made while exploring the different ways to prepare tofu. We’ve done nuggets, roasted veggie bowls, curry, and mini quiches, but now it’s time for something you can pack for lunch. It’s easy to make, it consists of three fresh ingredients, it comes with a crunch, and you’re going to love it. Without further ado, let’s make a crispy tofu and sprouts sandwich!
The Spokane area has been chilly since late November, and January (unsurprisingly) hasn’t done us any favors either.

The following list is for those people once they get tired of lounging by that fire and want some ideas for what else they could do indoors this winter:
Tofu is one of those funny foods that everyone seems to say the same thing about. Usually, that thing is along the lines of, “it doesn’t really taste like anything.” While it’s true that plain tofu on its lonesome is pretty underwhelming, the same could be said about bread, and we find plenty of delicious ways to dress up and eat that. Unlike most bread, however, tofu is both a nutrient dense food and an excellent source of protein.
Blueberries may be out of season, but that’s why frozen blueberries are a great treat to keep in your freezer, all year round! We often use frozen fruit in recipes throughout the winter, as it’s a great way to maintain your vitamin C intake during the cold months when your local farmers market isn’t open.

Nothing beats the smell of onions cooking in the kitchen. The savory, soulful scent of earth’s most flavorful vegetable can be found in homes across the world, no matter the cuisine. We picked a few of our favorite recipies where onions were the star ingredient. Let’s dig in!
