Tofu is used as a substitute for ground meat in this recipe. If you's prefer a more "meat-like" appearance and texture, freeze the tofu at least a day before making this recipe. Thaw the tofu, drain excess liquid and crumble it by hand.

This chili freezes well and is great alone, or on a potato, rice or pasta.
Also, I happen to love lots of onions and lots of heat, so depending on your taste, you may want to add more or less onions and hot peppers.

In my old neighborhood, there was an amazing takeout place where I'd get Thai curry vegetables on a pretty regular basis. I didn't think I could make it, or make it healthfully for that matter - until this morning. I played around with what I had on hand and came up with the following recipe for tonight's dinner, with plenty to freeze for later cravings.

This is set up for dried beans. To use canned beans use 3.5 cups of kidney beans and 3.5 cups garbanzo beans.

I only need to feed me and my husband, so I end up with days worth of left overs. My favorite thing to do with the left overs is to put them in an ovenproof dish and directly cover with cornbread dough, then bake according to the box.

This is from Vegetarian Times but we changed it because we like it this way better. Frozen artichoke hearts are better than canned but fresh is best.

Baked Tofu Kale Loaf (vegan)
Very Good 4.6/5

This is a modified version of a recipe in my favorite vegan cookbook (La Dolce Vegan!) I'm not a big fan of the taste of kale by itself, but since it is so nutritious I did some experimenting, and found that it is delicious when minced in a tofu loaf =)

Feel free to add or substitute ingredients with what you prefer or have on hand. This is so simple and delicious, you must try it!

This recipe makes 12 servings and keeps in the refrigerator up to 5 days. It's quite versatile--add shredded chicken and serve tortillas on the side to make it a main-dish salad. Or serve it as a dip with baked tortilla chips, a side for burgers or grilled chicken, or a salad on a bed of lettuce.
