Wanted to make an omelette like egg substitute to put on a “sausage and egg” muffin this morning. Just made the following up on the fly…
Ingredients
7-8 oz tofu (half of a split pack. I used firm as that’s all I had.
1/4 cup chickpeas
1/4 cup aquafaba (maybe a little more)
Turmeric
Black salt
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Directions
Blend all ingredients in a blender or processor
Cook in a medium heat pan till firm and slightly brown then flip and cook till the other side is same.
From Aldi’s. They were pretty good but… I’m not sure these are vegan despite claiming to be plant-based. It doesn’t state that they are vegan on the box like some of their other products do. I found the following on the Aldi’s website which makes no sense to me…
“Our Promise: All our Earth Grown products are free from animal products, including meat, poultry and seafood, and our vegan items are also free from substances produced by animals – such as eggs, dairy, honey, gelatin and lanolin.”
The possible offender on the ingredient list that I see is natural flavors. I assume there’s no legal definition of Plant-Based and companies can use it how they like.
Went to my parents house and we made veggie burgers from a recipe my Mother found at Plants 365.
I needed to bring our food processor as my Mother had just gotten rid of hers because she didn’t use it, Streets were a little snowy and icy but I made it to their house without incident.
Mushrooms, tempeh, oats, rice and beets the main ingredients. It mixed up well and was easy to work with. I may have used too much beets.
Pan fried them for several minutes on each side.
They browned up nicely. Taste was pretty good and texture slightly soft on the inside like so many other veggie burgers. All 3 of us gave them a thumbs up. Served them with oven fries.

Yesterday we took a day trip to Enid, Ok which is where the nearest Carl’s Jr is located to try their new Beyond Famous Star Burger which is made with the Beyond Burger. We took our bikes with us and rode around exploring the town. We had planned to eat at Carl’s Jr for lunch but come across a Mexican restaurant and ate lunch their instead. Before returning home we stopped at Carl’s Jr and I had the burger. Was really good.
Over this past weekend we went to Columbia to visit Nova’s family. Had a nice time visiting. We ate dinner at a new restaurant there named Parks where Nova and I split a black bean burger.
On our way home we stopped in Kansas City for lunch and ate at Chuy’s. My first time rating there. I had a veggie enchilada and Nova a bean burrito. Was ok.
