Another Scavenged Dinner

I was supposed to make Sheppard’s Pie tonight for dinner but I left work a little late and then traffic was HORRENDOUS.  I didn’t get home until 6:20 🙁 I made scrambled eggs and peas for Lu and then put her to bed.  When I got home I saw that her clothes from daycare were in a bag.  I asked, “Did she have a blowout today?” Shaun tells me, “Even better, I guess they had tuna for lunch and ALL the kids got it all over each other and they were covered in tuna.  All the kids were in ragamuffin clothes when I got there-it was hilarious.”  Here was Lucy’s ragamuffin clothes:

I still think she looks pretty cute 🙂

After putting her to bed, I asked Shaun what he wanted and he said that he ate a late lunch and had a party at work so he didn’t want anything.  It was the perfect excuse for TOFU!  Shaun hates tofu so I can only eat it for lunch or when I’m not cooking for him.  I looked in my cupboard and found this:

This stuff is awesome and is a staple when we go camping.  We usually do chicken with peppers and onions over couscous. I didn’t have any couscous and I didn’t want to wait for rice so I decided to just do some onions, carrots and green beans with tofu over spinach.

Here everything all ready to go:

I drained and pressed the tofu for about 10 minutes while I chopped the veggies.  I put all the veggies in the pot:

and steamed:

(LOVE my Le Creuset that my Aunt got me for Christmas last year).

Once they were tender I added the tofu and 1/2 cup of the curry with a little water and steamed for about another minute.

I think I should have used a bigger bowl 🙂

It was delicious. Shaun has NO CLUE what he’s missing!
