Food Diary

Pour some gravy on me

April 13, 2010 · By Monica Shaw

Tofu and mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy

This is a quickie post of Sunday’s eats. Not a whole lot of exercise on Sunday, just some light exercise in the garden and nd a bit of mushroom chopping for dinner’s creamy mushroom gravy, a vegan creation made with onion, olive oil, flour, soy milk, fresh mushrooms, and dried porchini mushrooms.

For the gravy, I took inspiration from What Do I know and hardcoreherbivore. The gravy was tasty, but I think I still prefer cashew gravy, now a fond memory since my blender broke. Though it makes me think: a cashew-mushroom combo gravy would probably rock my world. When the Vitamix arrives. Patience!

  • Breakfast: Cottage cheese crepes with lots of fresh fruit
  • Lunch: Leftover farinata with an everything salad and bulgar wheat
  • Gardening: too much to write, but I will say one thing: it looks like we were definitely be having cherry tomatoes this year.
  • Dinner: Tofu and mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, sauerkraut and greens

    Not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I LOVE sauerkraut – I can eat it out of the can cold! πŸ˜€
