Lazy Vegan Tofu and Broccoli

My friend and I had a very nice dinner last night. I didn't take any photos of my delicious vegetarian combination plate (think: grape leaves, spinach pie, hummus, baba, falafel, etc.) because I just happened to be seated next to one of the local television personalities in this area... and I didn't want her to think I was pulling out my camera to take a photo of her! LOL Despite that excitement, the biggest news of the night was that I asked my friend to be my maid of honor for my wedding next year... and she said yes! :) I'll be so happy to have her by my side; we've known each other since high school!

Instead of sharing last night's dinner with you, I'm pulling out a dish I prepared a while back but never got the chance to blog about it. It's a Vegweb.com dish that's super easy yet delicious. Titled "Lazy and Hungry Tofu Plus Broccoli" on Vegweb, this dish is simple and a quick dinner if you need something made in a short amount of time. The only change I made was that I used peanut oil because I didn't have sesame oil on hand. I chose to serve this with brown rice that I cooked using veggie broth instead of water. Deelish!

Wild Rice Casserole

I made this yummy dish last night for me and my boyfriend. I swiped it from veggieboards.com. It was originally posted by
Vggiegirl, so many kudos to her for sharing this recipe!

I used brown rice instead of wild rice, because it's what I had on hand. And, I used scrumptious baby portabellas and canned cream of mushroom soup--though I will most definitely try the vegan recipe for the soup the next time around.

The sauce thickened a lot upon setting for a few, but this was a great stick-to-your-ribs type of recipe. Really wish I would've found this earlier this winter... might be a bit heavy during the summer months, especially with the 90 minutes that it has to cook in the oven. But definitely two thumbs up! This one's a keeper! :)
