09.16.09: Hard to be Lazy with High Cholesterol

MEAL:
Caramelized tofu, kale, and nuts on top of quinoa
(I sauteed the tofu, kale, and nut mix in a cast iron skillet, then added a few tablespoons of sugar to caramelize the lot)

It was one of those days. I didn't feel like making anything. Normally, this would result in my throwing together some cereal and toast and calling it a night. However, on CholesterolWatch2009, I feel like I need to make a complete meal every night. I stumbled across a pretty fantastic looking website called 101cookbooks.com with a plethora of vegan recipes. Inspired (and feeling the nagging of my sweet tooth), I threw everything together quickly.

In theory, it wasn't a bad meal. However, I added far too much oil and let the kale cook for about 10 minutes too long. What resulted was an over-oiled mass of somewhat sweetened foodstuffs. I ate about half and threw the rest in a tupperware, cutting myself some apple up instead. Though I will be using 101cookbooks again to make recipes in the future, this little experiment wasn't a rousing success.

WILL NOT REPEAT
