Tofurky Recipe So Amazing

One of the best things about being Freegan in NYC is the amazin high end foods you find that allow you to try new foods.  So I found a brand new package of Tofurky Roast , I threw out the box to make space in my bag but it was perfectly frozen even when I got home.  

So Tofurky its a Vegetarian Turkey made of tofu and other amazing all organic ingredients.

This is what it looks like not exciting but boy is it worth it.

This recipe is so easy too.

I didn't have potato's so I just chopped 3 celerie sticks, 2 handfuls of baby carrots, 1/2 onion and put at the bottom of your casserole dish.

Then I put the Tofurky on top. Created a baste of 3 TBS oil, 1 TBS soy sauce, a dash of garlic powder and pepper.  Pour half of mixture on Tofurky.  Cover dish and bake for 1 1/4 Hour at 400 Degrees.

At an hour past, cover and pour rest of baste on.

Return back to oven till cooking time is over.

Then cook gravy on stove top.

Review: this Tofurky is amazing, it tastes not exactly like Turkey but to me its even better!

Freegan Lunch Tuna Sandwich and Split Pea Soup

Every thing in this meal was from my Freegan Hauls.  The country bread, arugula, tuna salad and split pea soup.

I read a post recently on this guy experimenting with Freeganism and he seemed challenged on what to eat but hopefully this post shows how healthy and balanced your meals can be on a Freegan Diet.

Cantoloupe Freegan Find

I see posts often on Freegan Hauls but not enough on what people actually do with them.

So I wanted to do one on this whole Cantaloupe I got.  Half I cubed to eat directly.  The other half I used to make Smoothies.  I just crushed 4 ice cubes.  Added the Cantaloupe, 2 TBS of yogurt, half cup of organic milk and 3 TSP of sugar and blended.  Everything was a Freegan find which made this awesome!

Churro's

OMG on Churro's I've seen mexican ladies at the train station selling these but I never knew what all the fuss was about till I had these.  I can't believe my spot had huge like again almost a box full and only took a few.  I wished I had taken a ton more these are amazing, mines were already semi fried so all I had to do was pop them in the oven.

Again, super fancy NYC supermarkets surprise me .. these was not a regular CHURRO it had a creamy cinnamon like filling in side ! So amazing!

Cranberry Smoothie

So I rescued like 3 bags of Frozen Ocean Spray Cranberries Thursday and someone suggested putting them in smoothies and boy did it turn out delicious!

I used some of the Organic Ave Truthful Tumeric and Purity Orange Mango juices as the liquid base for the smoothies.  Everything even the berry yogurt was from my freegan finds so healthy and seriously yummi!

Egg Bagel Sandwich

I was exhausted this week but I feel super grateful I made a buge batch of these bagel sandwiches for the work week.  Every thing but the eggs were Freegan Finds.  This seriously is the most amazin sandwich , I just fried an egg, put it on a bagel, put some blue cheese and arugula to top it off.  

Crazy week of Food Rescues

So this was the haul that started it all ..Wednesday I just was walking by my favorite spot which closed down this week and it was crazy like huge dumpsters of Juices and Frozen Foods still in packages and even shipping boxes.  I felt so bad about leaving all this stuff behind but I literally could not carry anymore.  I took the all these Organic Purity Juices and there was tons of other low calorie ones left.  I mean tons like 4 huge moving boxes full at least.  I also grabbed some beers and I regret not taking of the Glass Imported beers.  But glass is super heavy.  I also got huge bottle of Ranch Dressing and a couple boxes of Graham Cracker baking crumbs.  

So moving on was the Frozen Food section they unloaded, when I got the stuff it was still frozen!!!!  I got jars of Fancy Gelato, and one pint of Ben and Jerry's.  I literally left all the fruit bars and tons more behind.  Fortunately, I called a friend and she got even more stuff like this was truly the most epic haul.  I got Frozen Grab Cakes , 2 Frozen Pizza's and 2 packs of Veggie Patch vegan chicken.  And the infamous Tofurky Roast set.  I had literally no space left so I took them out of the boxes.  

But seriously it was epic, the Veggie Patch was a huge box load still in its shipping box all perfectly frozen.

My estimate for the haul $100 at least.
