Saucy Spicy Budget Vegan

I had another delicious smoothie yesterday morning. This had frozen cherries, flax meal, half an avocado, maca powder and banana. This kept me full for awhile thanks to the avocado. Later in the day I had some leftover enchilada casserole. I forgot to take a picture, but it wasn't pretty. I didn't even heat it up!! But it's kind of like spaghetti and pizza, good hot or cold!
I've had a jar of tandoori spice paste in my fridge for a super long time. Last night I decided to use it on some potatoes and tofu. First I rubbed it on some potato and tofu chunks and let that marinate for about an hour. Then I added a can of coconut milk in place of plain yogurt, put foil over the baking dish and baked for about an hour. It came out tangy and delicious!

I served it with some Jasmine rice an enjoyed every last bite! I don't think I've ever had tandoori anything to be honest!
If you are on a budget, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to have a decent spice, sauce and condiment collection. It can change up your meals and keep simple foods interesting. I eat a lot of the same things. Tofu, potatoes rice and beans because they are inexpensive, and also I like them of course! But I'm able to not get bored because I make different things and add different seasonings and sauces. Look for places that sell bulk spices because you can get as little or much as you want and it's sooooo much cheaper. And look for sauces and condiments everywhere. Dollar stores and places like Big Lots are great places to find cheap condiments.

This is definitely not on the budget challenge, but I've had this for awhile now in my chocolate drawer and last night I had to have a couple of squares. It's soooooo good! The chocolate is creamy and melts easily on your tongue and it has just the right amount of salt. Delicious!
