  • TVP Breakfast Sausage

    We’ve been spending a lot of money on the BeyondMeat breakfast sausages, links, and patties. This morning I ran across this YouTube video on how to make the equivalent from TVP. I have little experience with TVP, something I plan to fix with this recipe.
    The recipe contains a handful of ingredients, all of which we have on hand. From raw to on-the-plate, it should take about a half hour. Further, they can be frozen, either cooked, or raw.
    1 cup textured vegetable protein
    1 cup vegetable broth see note #1
    2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
    6 tablespoons (¼ cup + 2 tablespoons) water
    ½ cup rolled oats
    2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
    2 tablespoons chickpea flour
    1 tablespoon coconut oil more as needed for pan-frying
    1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
    1 tablespoon soy sauce use tamari to make GF
    1 teaspoon ground sage
    1 teaspoon fennel seed
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    ½ teaspoon salt
    ½ teaspoon pepper
    ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

  • And The Soy Milk Didn’t Kill Me Either

    Now on day two of the exercise program, and none the worse for it. Even managed to get out the door by 5:30, grocery store by 6:30, home by 6:45, fed by 7:30.

    Breakfast: I bought two containers of Soy Milk, one having no sweetner, and the other labeled “Plain” (it has cane sugar in it). Thought I’d try them both. This morning I had a half cup of Old Fashioned Oats with about a 1/4 cup of unsweetened soy milk. Once you get beyond the not-white color (I don’t expect it’s green, but it looks like it to me…) it is not an obtrusive flavour, not too much unlike regular milk. Combined with stawberry jam on WW toast, which I did, and it is just fine. This is going to be a new breakfast standard. Coffee, of course. I’m up a pound today by the scale, but not concerned.
