If you have ever made yourself some tofu scramble with the expectation that it will be a great sub for your favourite scramble eggs back in the day, well, you know that disappointment. I have to say, though, that there is a new kid in town! I don't know where I actually got this recipe from.  I just found it in scribbled into a book on my never-ending quest to quell the clutter in our home.  I think it may be out of a library cookbook, or maybe someone dictated it to me.  In any case, I apologize if it is your precious recipe.  I have changed some of the wording, and some of the ingredients. So, the glory of this actual recipe is in the mixture that you make up in advance and always have on hand when the urge for a tofu scramble hits! The flavour blend is outstanding.  I also like how the mix is set up to provide just enough of its herby deliciousness (1 1/2 Teaspoons per serving) so that there is not an imbalance in either flavour or moistness.

We are potato lovers in our family. We're a big old mix of Northern European and it is likely our ancestors ate potatoes, cabbage, and turnips from times immemorial. Potatoes are in our DNA. If you are a potato lover, too, I know you probably already like potato pancakes-- but these are VEGAN so no eggy factor. Have you tried a potato waffle yet?  You'll fall in love with it when you do! The first recipe is shown in the picture above-- Wyona's healthy vegetarian (or vegan) potato pancake. Only one tablespoon of oil. The  egg-replacer listed here is ground flax, but you could also use ground chia seed or a commercial egg replacer powder.  Wyona calls for amaranth, millet or quinoa flour, but I'm pretty sure you could use a mixed Gluten-Free flour of your choice. Here are the ingredients you will need for Wyona's Potato pancake: 6 medium-sized peeled potatoes 1 fresh lemon tapioca starch amaranth  (or millet or quinoa flour) 1 onion, your choice salt 2 T. ground ...
