Hell yeah!
In the past couple of years I've been doing most of the cooking in the household. It is something one needs to turn to when one is vegan & lives in a town with few vegan/vegetarian options. I've heard of vegans who can't cook but I believe being a passable cook (if I am that) is mostly a matter of time & will. If you want to cook something well, you probably can - but you did need to want it & you need to have the time.
I have no idea how housewives of yore - & today - manage it. A tasty meal, night after night? Astounding.
Being vegan, I don't eat eggs, & as such I miss one of my favorite Tex-Mex dishes: migas. You can click the link to see what those are. In the United States, I haven't been able to find migas outside of Texas. Vegans often make a similar dish - really, though, they're just trying to make a version of scrambled eggs - called tofu scramble. The ubiquitousness & mundanity of tofu scramble makes some people feel the need to update it or zazz it up.
With my knowledge of both migas & tofu scramble, I've created a hybrid which would be great for breakfast - though I make it usually for dinner. I call it scrapple.
But wait! you say. There's already something called scrapple - & it ain't vegetarian.
Sue me. That's what I call my tofu scramble/migas mash-up. I fill it full of vegetables - green bell peppers, onions, carrots, jalapeños (pickled & fresh) - I add tofu & I add potatoes - I even crumble up tortilla chips in it like they do in migas - I add tomatoes at the end so they're extra fresh - mmmmmm.
There's spices & oats & nutritional yeast, too, but this isn't a cooking blog. It's for a radio show. Silly.
& one day I'll master pancakes & make them for dinner too!
