Alfredo lasagne stir fry

I mostly made this recipe as an excuse to make this vegan Alfredo again because it’s my favorite thing EVER. The chopped up lasagna noodles also make it a bit different than a normal pasta which i love! Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients/ shopping list:

1/2 pack lasagna noodles
Broccoli 1 small bag or one head
1/2 pack gardein strips

For the alfredo sauce:

One 12 oz pack of silken tofu
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1.5 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp chipotle powder (optional)
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup non- diary milk (I used oat milk)

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1.

Lets start with the alfredo sauce. Add your tofu, nutritional yeast, seasoning powders, mustard, and milk to food processor and blend. Yes, that it is literally the extent of the sauce recipe and it tastes like you spent hours on it!

Step 2.

Bring pot of water to boil and start cooking your lasagna noodles, i only used 4 pieces or about half the box.

Step 3.

While your noodles are cooking, in a large skillet cook your broccoli in olive oil on low and cover skillet to steam. Heat your gardein strips in the microwave and add to the skillet.

Step 4.

After your noodles are cooked i slices each strip into three pieces long ways and three pieces sideways and added to the skillet.

Step 5.

Finally add your Alfredo sauce and heat.

Creamy sun-dried tomato fettuccine

Yum! This was a great alternative to the same pasta over and over again, and so easy! The sauce is only 3 ingredients, but free, and all you need is a food processor. Hope you guys enjoy!

Ingredients/ shopping list:

1 pack fettuccine
1 pack vegan cream cheese
1/2 cup Soy/almond/ oat milk
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
Gardein strips
Zucchini
Salt, pepper, garlic powder
Optional nutritional yeast

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1.

Boil large pot of water and cook your fettuccine noodles.

Step 2.

While those are cooking take out your food processor to make the sauce. Add 1/2 cup non diary milk, 1/2 package cream cheese, and 1/2 sun dried tomatoes(in oil). Mine came out a bit thick, if this happens use about 1/4 cup of your pasta water to thin! Optional 3 table spoons nutritional yeast.

Step 3.

Next for the gardein strips. Microwave for 1.5-2 minutes or until thawed then Sauté in olive oil until browned.

Step 4.

Set strips aside and chop. While doing this you can sauté your zucchini in olive oil until browned as well.

Step 5.

Combine all ingredients in large pot & serve!

Holly

Meet Holly. She had to be picked up before sunset to make it through the night. She lost her family herd of 8 to mountain lion attacks over a few days. And she managed to not get injured. It’s almost to remarkable to believe, other than when Matt picked him up, he saw the others that didn’t make it. 😓⁣⁣

She will be the First Lady goat joining the big herd! And we can’t wait to watch her blossom.

Mary

Mary was brought to us after her Mom had a complicated pregnancy. Sheep have been selectively bred to carry more babies and Mary’s Mom has triplets. On passed during birth, and one was born healthy.

Because of her own complicated health, Mary’s mom rejected her. This can happen from having too many babies or poor nutrition. Mary’s Mom has just been taken from a meat farm, so it explains why she wasn’t healthy.

Mary was TINY she was only 2 pounds! Mary’s mom and brother are safe with a family who loves them. And we were able to get Mary the care and attention she needed.

Mary looks like a goat, but she is actually a hair sheep! Blackbelly Barbados.

Sweet Potato Soyrizo Tacos

Another delicious taco Tuesday option for you guys! This recipe makes enough to feed a TEAM, if your having a bunch of people over and don’t want to spend a lot of money here’s your perfect recipe! Or you can do what I’m doing and bringing leftovers for lunch at work all week because this is great re heated as well. You can also make half a batch if you only want it for one meal! Enjoy!

Ingredients/ shopping list:

2 sweet potatoes
1 can black beans
1 can corn
1 pack of soyrizo (sold at all grocery stores now a days)
Salt, pepper, and cooking oil for taste (I use olive oil)
One avocado for topping

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1.

This is the only time consuming part of the recipe. If your in a hurry, Trader Joe’s selling sweet potato ribbons pre chopped. Peel your sweet potatoes and then use a peeler to slice up potatoes. Some pieces may come out longer, just chop up with a knife.

Step 2.

Next, heat up a large skillet pan with olive oil and add your sweet potatoes. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir occasionally so they don’t stick.

Step 3.

Drain and rinse your black beans and corn from can and add to skillet, then set aside while we cook the soyrizo.

Step 4.

In another skillet, cook soyrizo in olive oil for about 10 minutes and stir occasionally until it starts to brown.

Step 5.

Combine all ingredients in one skillet and mix evenly. Add to tortillas and top with avocado!
