The Weekend

Happy Friday...thank goodness! I am still not feeling well - but went in for a strep test today, which came back negative (oh yeah!)...so I am planning on a weekend full of rest and relaxation. Any fun plans for you? I will leave you with an extremely easy, healthy, tasty, and vegan recipe to try this weekend.

Ingredients:

- 1 c rice (I use this - which makes the recipe even easier)

- 1/2 c pinto beans

- 1/2 c tofu (I use extra firm)

- 1/2 c salsa

- Avocado

- Spices (add any to your liking)

Directions:

- Drain and 'press' tofu (press between paper towels or clean kitchen towel) - get as much moisture out as possible

- Once tofu has been drained and pressed, crumble and place in saute pan

- Add salsa to the pan, and saute combination over medium heat for about 3 minutes 

- Add cooked rice and pinto beans

- Saute all ingredients over medium heat, adding more salsa or other spices if you choose (I add a little olive oil once all ingredients have been added to the pan)

- Top with fresh avocado and enjoy! Yummy
