    0:00 My 3 Favourite Meals Right now
    1:28 Marinated Tofu Triangles
    1 block of firm tofu (cut into triangles)
    2-3 tbsp tamari
    1 tsp toasted sesame oil
    1 tbsp rice vinegar
    3:02 Tahini dressing for salad
    3 tbsp water
    2 tbsp tahini
    1 tsp grainy mustard
    ½ tsp onion powder
    ¼ tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp maple syrup
    Juice from ½ of a lemon
    Pinch of salt
    Pinch of black pepper
    Directions:
    1. Pre heat a large frying pan.
    2. Mix all marinade ingredients together in a large tupperware container.
    3. Squish tofu triangles between two containers of tupperware to help marinade them (watch video fro technique)
    4. Add the tofu triangles to the preheated pan. Let brown on one side before flipping (approx 3-5 minutes/side)
    5. While that’s cooking make a quick salad of your choice. I added greens, red cabbage, watermelon radish, green onions to a large bowl.
    6. Mix together tahini dressing ingredients and pour on top of the salad.
    7. Add tofu pieces to the bowl when they are browned on either side. Enjoy!
    4:13 Quinoa and Black Bean Salad
    2 cups cooked quinoa
    1/2 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
    6-7 black olives, chopped
    1/8th red onion, chopped
    1/4 of a cucumber, chopped
    1/4 cup chopped parsley
    4:49 Balsamic and Tahini Dressing
    2 tbsp balsamic
    1 tsp of tahini
    Pinch of salt
    Directions:
    1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl and serve with balsamic and tahini dressing. Enjoy!
    5:53 Roasted red pepper & garlic cheesy pasta
    Cashew sauce
    1/3 of a cup of cashews (soaked in warm water for 20 minutes)
    2 red bell pepper, cut into large slices
    2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
    3 tbsp nutritional yeast
    3/4 tsp onion powder
    3/4 tsp smoked paprika
    pinch of black pepper
    pinch of salt
    1/4 cup water
    2 tsp rice vinegar
    2 servings of your favourite pasta, cooked according to package instructions
    fresh basil, chopped
    Directions:
    1. Place red bell pepper slices skin side up in an air fryer bucket along with the garlic.
    2. Air fry until 'roasted' (see video) keep and eye on this as garlic can burn easily.
    3. Once red bell pepper and garlic are roasted, add to a blender along with the other ingredients and blend until smooth. Set aside.
    4. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain when done.
    5. Add pasta to a large bowl and top with sauce. Mix together until pasta is well coated and top with chopped fresh basil. Enjoy!
