Mexican, and brunch........

Brunch on Sunday was fabulous. I love brunch, its my favorite meal to cook. I always come up with the weirdest and craziest brunch items. Its the best meal and I feel like it has a lot of versatility. That being said, I made some silver dollar pancake sandwiches with some leftover tofu scramble and chopped/fried seitan sausage. Then I drenched mine in earth balance and maple syrup. Its such an easy thing to assemble. A nice tip to perfect looking pancakes is to use a ladel and swoosh it in a circular motion when you drop the batter. I also tend to swirl it in the middle so it flattens the batter so it cooks evenly. But try not to smoosh it down because then you won't have fluffy pancakes. For the scramble, I like to use broccoli, onions, peppers, garlic, and kale with a mix of black pepper, sea salt, chili powder, cumin, turmeric, nutritional yeast and soy sauce.


Friday night was a nice lazy night so I made some mexican lasagna. So good, and so easy. Basically you fry up whatever veggies you want and alternate a veg mixture layer with a refried beans layer and a nutritional yeast cheese sauce layer. So to clarify you just alternate filling of your choice with a tortilla and top with cheese sauce and salsa. I bake mine in a deep dish pie pan because the medium sized tortillas just fit! Unfortunately I can't post the cheese sauce recipe because we're going to have it at the restaurant. I know, I suck......but I can tell you that its based off of a recipe from Hot Damn and Hell Yeah.
