Delicious dinner tonight! Tomato Basil Cannellini Beans with Tofu and Spinach 🍅
Sautéed garlic in olive oil and added cubed firm tofu and cooked for a few minutes. Added half a can of crushed tomatoes and a drained can of diced tomatoes and cooked for several more minutes. Added a can of drained cannellini white beans, chopped fresh basil and chopped spinach and sautéed until spinach cooked down. Lastly added cream cheese and melted it into the pan. You could definitely used vegan cream cheese as well. Added salt and pepper to taste! It was amazing! 🤩

Another delicious weeknight meal! 😋 Moroccan Lentils with Couscous. I used this recipe : https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/moroccan-instant-pot-lentils/ but without the instant pot and just simmered it all in a regular pot for about 25 min or until the lentils were cooked. And I forgot the celery but it still turned out delicious 😜
