Rice with Tofu, Greens, Squash, Gravy

When Mike and I were in Santa Monica last year, we went to Real Food Daily, Ann Gentry's restaurant. I had a basic bowl of brown rice with tofu, greens, and house dressing. It's the best and most comforting meal in the world. Plus, Real Food Daily has amazing chocolate chip cookies. They are made with barley flour, which is unusual, but somehow adds to their sweet nuttiness.

I've gotten away from it lately, but I think it's good to have a Real Food Daily-type dinner often. Last night we had brown rice, yellow squash sauteed in olive oil with salt and pepper, garlicky kale, sauteed tofu, and Golden Gravy from The Real Food Daily cookbook. It's an onion and nutritional yeast gravy, very delicious. The squash and kale were from our CSA box--we got gorgeous vegetables this week.




Apologies for the blurry picture. This is probably unusual, but I find photographs to be the most tedious part of blogging. I don't like finding the right light, fussing with the memory card, or taking the picture itself. My photos are usually mediocre at best, which I could blame on our camera, but I'm sure the fault is mine. Our previous digital camera was cheaper and simpler and inferior in every way, but I got better results with it. The current camera takes blurry pictures for me. I could use a tripod, but that sounds like even more work.
