Chipotle's Braised Tofu Sofrita

Today’s fast food idea is something totally new and exciting coming from Chipotle. If you haven’t heard about this fast food chains newest menu item, then you will love this. (:

Chipotle recently released the new Braised Tofu Sofrita, which they have advertised as being vegan.

In fact, they claim it is so delicious that both vegans and carnivores will unite to enjoy this dish.

The chain is using organic tofu from Hodo Soy, which they have shredded and cooked with varying peppers and spices.

I have yet to try one of these delicious looking creations, but I definitely plan to very soon & when I do I will definitely post a review to let you know what I think! (:

Have you tried this new Chipotle dish? Are you going to? 

As of now, this dish is not available everywhere so check out the Chipotle website to see if it is available in a restaurant near you!

Update!!

SO, looking at the pictures on Chipotle's website were just too tempting. I gave in a went to my local restaurant. (: 

My usual order is the veggie bowl, but tonight I got the Sofrita Bowl. 

IT WAS DELICIOUS!! 

The Sofrita was spicy and the texture was the perfect touch to the vegetables  and beans in my bowl. 

Here is a close up of the Sofrita: 

Another exciting thing I learned in my Chipotle adventures is that the pinto beans are now being made with a new recipe that doesn't contain pork. 

This means that both the black beans and the pinto beans are now vegan! 

I fully recommend that you get yourself to a chipotle asap. (:

Crescent Rolls

The best part of November 1^st is getting to eat all the Halloween candy from last night, whether it be from your own trick-o-treating adventure or candy that never got handed out.

So, in honor of that, I’m going to break my routine once again tonight. Instead of posting about something sweet, I’m going to assume that everyone else has their fill of sweets at home to eat and talk about a meal staple in my house.

I’m a big fan of breads, whether it is for a sandwich or with pasta or even with a little butter as a snack.

One of the staple breads that I keep in my fridge at all times, is the Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls. 

Pop them out of the can, roll them up, and throw them on a cookie sheet. 

In 11-13 minutes they come out of the over warm and golden brown! They are quick and delicious and work great as a side to pasta, soups, and stews in the winter when a nice warm bread complements your meal perfectly. 

Add a little butter and just look how delicious this looks! So flakey and wonderful, plus they are only 100 calories a roll! (:

Have you ever tried these crescent rolls? What did you think about them?!

Bocca Ground Crumbles

Tonight’s post is about one of my favorite meat substitutes, the Bocca Ground Crumbles. This is a substitute for ground beef; which can be used in tacos, pasta, chili, and so much more.

This ground ‘beef’ is made from soy and therefore it is naturally low in fat while being high in protein and in fiber.

In fact, in one serving (57 grams) there is 60 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, 0 cholesterol, and 13 grams of protein.

Let’s compare that to 57 grams of lean 80/20 ground beef; which has 145 calories, 11.4 grams of fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, and 9.79 grams of protein.

I can’t wait to show you guys some great recipes in the weeks to come, so make sure that you pick up a bag next time you are at the store. (:
