Introduction
This is a quick weekday recipe for a busy Vegan or someone inspiring to be Vegan (which would describe me.)You can add baked tofu to this, and I will include the step for that. I am not crazy about tofu or any faux meat so I do not include it, but many people would prefer for their recipes to have more protein.
