Tofu Scramble
This is an animal-friendly substitute for scrambled eggs. The spices not only add flavor, but they also color the tofu yellow to mimic eggs.

Ingredients:

Directions:
1. Drain the water from the tofu and crumble it into a bowl.
2. Add soysauce and spices. Stir together. Be careful with the turmeric--it stains everything yellow!
3. Heat a frying pan on medium and add olive oil to the pan (just like you would to make scrambled eggs). Let the oil heat up.
4. Pour the tofu mixture into the pan and cook just like scrambled eggs.

You can add things to the scramble just like you would an omelet. Try adding chopped onions, garlic, rosemary or basil.

Soybean Pilaf
Soybeans are a great way to get that protein you're missing from meat! You can use any vegetables you want in this recipe. Here we've used a favorite veggie combination.

Ingredients:

Directions:
Note: You can find frozen shelled green soybeans, also called "edamame", in the frozen foods section. Boil the soybeans about 5 minutes in just enough water to cover them, then drain and put them aside.

1. Rinse and chop your veggies. Mince the garlic.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil on medium heat and saute garlic, onion, carrot and celery for about 5 minutes.Then add mushrooms, rice and broth.
3. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cover the pan, letting it simmer for about 20 minutes.
4. Stir in the soybeans and mix thoroughly. Cover and let stand for a few minutes to let the flavors blend
5. Top with almonds and serve!

Vegetarian Stuffed Squash
Who knew that you could make healthy food in a microwave? That's right, the microwave isn't just for making soy-cheese nachos and frozen dinners. But those are good too.

Ingredients:

Directions:
1. Pierce the skin of the squash in several places with a sharp knife. Microwave it uncovered on high for 4 to 5 minutes, until the skin easily yields to fork pricks.
2. Remove squash from oven and let it rest for a minute. Then cut it in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. You can throw out the seeds, because, ick, they're sticky and weird.
3. Drain and cut the tofu into small cubes and mix it with applesauce, raisins, walnuts, spices and tofu.
4. Place cut squash halves in a microwave-proof dish and fill it with the mixture.
5. Cover lightly and microwave for 4-5 more minutes. Let it cool a few minutes before serving!
