banana protein muffins-
3 bananas mashed

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

walnuts + chocolate chips (optional)
bake @ 350 for 24 minutes
tofu nuggets
firm but not extra firm tofu ( I used 3 packages)
garlic powder
onion powder
adobo seasoning
black pepper
chickpea flour
shake all ingredients up together in a large container or gallon size ziplock bag. Roll each tofu piece in extra chickpea flour if you want it to be extra breaded. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes til golden brown. Shut off the oven but let the tofu rest in the oven for an additional 15- 20 minutes and they will get extra crisp on the outside as they sit.

1 bell pepper diced
8 oz mushrooms diced
splash of veggie broth for sauteing
1 lb dry brown lentils rinsed & sorted
1 can black beans drained and rinsed

2 tbsp southwest chipotle mrs dash seasoning
1 to 2 tbsp braggs liquid aminos

1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
6 cups water or broth
pressure cook for 15 minutes, natural release

when the timer goes off set it back to saute and add in some kale and frozen corn

You're videos give me life . Side note, I love seeing Pans that actually get used ❤

[@debbiepalmer1094]

'Just measure with your heart.' I love that! x

[@cathienagle3082]

I made the protein muffins & they were so delicious! You’d never know they were healthy! I’m making the lentil chili today. I love your calming voice as you describe your meal prep & tips and appreciate your authentic well-used pots & pans!

[@trisha4755]

I think your pan is lovely! It’s not ugly, just well used. ❤️

[@Chantymarie]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@shortgirl65]

Thanks for the ideas. FYI: when sheet pans are seasoned, they cook more evenly. I usually use parchment as well because I hate scrubbing pans. I always wonder how cooking shows have stoves and pans that always look like they've never been used.

[@amyv-m6002]

Barkeeper's freind is good for cleaning your baking pans. Salt and lemon with the natural scrubby pad can help get the hard food bits.

[@crystalh1402]

I prefer salt and lemon on when the surface comes in contact with food so I don’t have to worry about chemical residue from barkeepers friend but it’s fantastic for the outside of my stainless steel pans.

[@vijidurvasula7744]

You are pretty amazing! I’ve been forwarding your videos to both my vegetarian sons who have IPs! 👏🏻

Thank you! They are really yummy!!

[@Skigirl52]

Thank you! Genius Tofu recipe with the chickpea topping! Also, "measure with your heart" *sigh*

[@ynotann]

Thank you Chanty so much for this video. I loved your muffins and tofu recipe, I will try both. Best wishes Ann in South Australia.

[@Angela10226]

Here I was going to make your lentil soup recipe today, now I'm going to try the chili instead. Everything looks so good. I've never tried the chickpea flour on tofu I guess I will try that today too. Love the natural nails BTW they look great. You still haven't linked your glass containers, could you please?

[@Chantymarie]

Thanks so much! The glass containers are from big lots but they can’t be ordered online, I found these ones that are the same size amzn.to/3UXbpBM

[@lizzzarduh]

Also Daiso and IKEA have great glass containers at a low price or thrift stores

[@singingnomad5099]

I made the chili!! 😮omg we live on a ranch and even my meat n potatoes man loves it! Best chili I’ve ever had. Thank you

Ahhhh im soooo happy! I love this chili recipe too! So glad you liked it!! 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️

Your recipes look amazing and I am going to try them

[@ellenradford8582]

I love this! I need to get back to eating healthier since I was busy with caregiving and not self caring. So I am going to go back doing better healthy cooking. Thanks for showing up!

[@erinkitts1757]

That chili looks amazing!

[@jimw966]

Muffins look fantastic and it’s always a treat to watch you work your magic 😃

[@kimsimpson8205]

Do you reheat the tofu nuggets, if yes, how?

[@Chantymarie]

Yes! We usually microwave them cause we are lazy but they would be so good in the air fryer or oven!

[@lizzzarduh]

I was wondering if you could mention how you keep your knife sharp? It seems really sharp!!

[@Freds_mom]

She's got great knife skills too! ❤

[@Chantymarie]

I have this easy to use knife sharpener! It’s similar to this www.amazon.com/dp/B08BFJ8WYY/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_dl_ES9QC52WJ2FM42KJS0GK?linkCode=ml2&tag=chantymarie-20

[@receptionfrontdesk1377]

Look into something called" the pink stuff" it will clean that baking tray. I dont think its good to use on non stick, but that baking tray doesnt look like its a non stick to me. I use it on my stainless pans and it works great. And it claims not to be toxic. Check it out!

[@sourdoughsavant22]

Aldi has way cheaper tofu that is also organic. In fact, ive never seen non organic tofu at any grocery store if I remember correctly

[@angelawade1445]

I love your videos. You are a natural. Everything you make I always wish I was there to taste it. ❤️

[@Chantymarie]

thank you so much!

[@LC.1990]

I like to freeze my tofu and let it thaw in fridge then i squeeze water out. I got sick of using my tofu press!

[@stellasrvadventures483]

Is there something you can use in place of the pea crumbles? My guess is maybe some more mushrooms but maybe you have a better idea

[@susanlizottealbert3825]

There is o need to wait for apples if you pop the. In the oven for a few minutes they will turn brown.

[@ellenradford8582]

Ugly pans are a sign of a good cook...brand new pans show that no one uses them

[@izzy62im]

Brillo will help the ugly pan

[@Chantymarie]

I’ll try that!! Thanks 😊😊

How do you reheat the nuggets? Do they keep their texture?

[@alice8275]

That pan is just loved❤❤

[@Silverlotus101]

You make quite a few doable bulk recipes, and I always enjoy people incorporating more protein (chickpea, tofu, hemp seeds, tahini etc.. ). What do you think of doing a recipe with Burmese chickpea tofu or hemp seeds?

[@Chantymarie]

I’ve never heard of Burmese chickpea before! Sounds good

[@kathystoner5239]

How do you eat your tofu nuggets? Do you put them in a salad?

[@Chantymarie]

Yes either in a salad or we just heat them up and eat with bbq sauce or ketchup!

Absolutely amazing meal. I wish that I could tolerate tofu but to me it’s like eating a sponge. I tried to soak it in every liquid and marinade known to man and it still taste like a sponge to me lol but I absolutely love the meal prep. I’ll have to just stick with my MorningStar chicken nuggets. It’s the only one I can tolerate. 10:47

Great food prep!

[@Chantymarie]

thank you so much!

[@coloradotrish7297]

Another fab post! Great to see minimal oil was needed in these recipes too! Maybe I could avoid firing up my oven twice in one day tho - once for tofu and then turning it on again for mushrooms - with Xcel Energy prices in here that is expensive and a waste if not really needed. ps I've never tried tofu but one thing I purchased recently was powdered jalapeno powder so that would be good to add to it and other recipes. At a Chinese food place I had crispy jalapeno chicken and that's how I found out about the powder. Denver Spice carries it. Best from Colorado!

[@Chantymarie]

Thanks so much!!

What would be an equivalent sub for the chickpea flour? Almond flour seems heavy/possibly greasy? Thanks for your great videos!

I used to use almond flour to make these! It totally works but the chickpea flour has a better texture in my opinion!

[@marlavm]

@@Chantymarie Thanks!!

[@samanthabean6362]

Is date paste the same as date syrup?

[@Chantymarie]

They’re similar but date syrup i think is more processed because they cook it down, date paste is just blended up dates that you can make yourself!

I use it sometimes but not that much! It helps the seasoning stick to the mushrooms and so they don’t dry out
