California Delights

I was on a semi-vacation in California and subsequently had all the best fruits of the Earth available to me.  Does that make sense?  Whatevs.  So I made a meal of champions and will now share the secrets of my bliss.

California Breakfast, for vegans:
1/4 block of firm tofu
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 purple potato, 1 red potato, 1 white potato (just for fun, doesn't matter, 3 small potatoes)
1/2 avocado
1/2 tomato, diced
1/4 bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup cajun black beans
1 tbsp olive oil, optional
1/4 cup spinach
3 cloves garlic
1/4 onion

So the optional olive oil is for the tofu, for taste but it can be water fried for health.  Marinate the tofu in soy sauce, in a plastic bag.  When ready to use, squish the tofu in the plastic bag until it resembles scrambled tofu.  Dump contents onto hot oiled pan and sautee until brown.  Steam potatoes, garlic and onions for 10 minutes, then add tomatoes and spinach and cook until done.  Pour both on a plate, put black beans and avocado on the side and voila.  But wait there's more.

California fruit plate:
1 peach
5 strawberries
20 blueberries
1/2 banana
1 tbsp almond butter

Slice fruit and plate next to almond butter, enjoy this feast now and the benefits later.

For California authenticity eat this all with tortillas ;)
