Serve up this delicious scrambled tofu recipe with your favorite breakfast side dishes: fried potatoes, baked beans, toast or a simple green salad. It is quick to make and keeps well in the fridge for leftovers.

It’s easier than before to find dairy-free pesto at the grocery store, but if you can’t find any it’s not hard to whip up! Simply take any pesto recipe and leave out the Parmesan cheese; blend it up and in less than 5 minutes you’ll have homemade pesto. If you don’t have pine nuts on hand, use raw sunflower seeds instead.
