Tonight’s dinner is a Thai peanut quinoa salad with raw zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, and red cabbage.
Spicy Tofu Scramble with Guacamole and Red Cabbage
I’m pretty unconventional when it comes to guacamole—I tried my first avocado at nineteen, so to say the least I have less experience with them than most people. I’m an acid-loving condiment whore as many of you know, so while I adore ALL guacamole, I think mine’s superior because it’s a goddamn flavor sensation. This is how I make my guacamole, which is full of fresh veggies and a little kick.
The jarred jalapenos and their vinegar offer a VERY different taste than if you were to us fresh jalapenos. I actually prefer it—a lot. Notice that I don’t use cilantro (it tastes like soap to me).
The tofu scramble above is a sautee of yellow onions, orange bell pepper, and 2 fresh jalapenos, all diced with minced garlic. For spices, I used s&p, chilli powder, a LITTLE cumin, and about a handful of nutritional yeast. Normally I’d use tumeric as well, but unfortunately we don’t have any in the house. This will soon be remedied!
And, of course, red cabbage, a bed of which gives that awesome crunch. I can never eat too much raw red cabbage.

*spelled quinoa
Quinoa is a seed that once cooked, has a delicious, fluffy, slightly crunchy, and almost nutty flavor.
Along with the yummy taste, check out some of the benefits:
- Trying to up your protein intake? Hello?! Try some quinoa! Not only is it a super good source of protein…but the protein it supplies is complete protein! This means that it includes all 9 amino acids! Hooray!
- Migraines? You might want to think about adding quinoa into your life! The magnesium in quinoa relaxes your blood vessels, which will help reduce those achy migraines!
- Quinoa prevents against lots of probelms too! Heart disease, childhood asthma, breast cancer, gallstones, cardiovascular health and so many more!
These are only a few of quinoa’s benefits! So considering how easy it is to add into your life, there’s really no reason not to include it! Add it to your salad, throw it in a wrap, eat it with your stir fry…anything!
Now go get some! :)
