Quick Tofu and Vegetable Dinner just for me (no added fat)

I was grocery shopping and got home late; my family had leftovers. I love tofu and have a favorite dish that I make when it's late and I'm not cooking for my wife, who has trouble digesting tofu.

All I do is cut up some vegetables (or use frozen ones; I uesd fresh carrots and kale, and frozen green beans and bell peppers) and cube tofu (I used maybe 3/5 of a 1 pound package of extra firm tofu from Twin Oaks Farms, a favorite of mine), then cook in my Instant Pot pressure cooker for 0-2 minutes (I think I went with 1 or 2 minutes). I then mixed in a little salt, garlic powder, freshly ground black pepper, and onion cut to about 3/8" cubes. I served with dabs of hot sauce, fresh tomato, and leftover rice.

It was predictably good! We have our next So Many Cooks event coming up and this one is on tofu. I'm thinking of demonstrating this - or maybe a chocolate tofu pie? Something else? It should be fun!

Nachos with Broccoli

I've been wanting to use my air fryer to make almost no fat tortilla chips for a while and today followed simple guidance I found from Leanne of crumbtopbaking. I used sprouted corn tortillas that have only 1.5g of fat for 2 tortillas; I cut the tortillas into triangles and put them with nothing else - no oil or anything - in a single layer in my Cuisinart air fryer's frying basket. I cooked them in air fry mode for 7 minutes at 350°F. They came out a nice light brown color and crispy!

I had made a pot of black beans with spinach, onion, salt, garlic powder, and a little bit tabasco sauce in my Instant Pot pressure cooker. I also made a cheese sauce like I have in the past in my blender, but I only had a few cashews, so I also used almonds.

I simply served plates of the chips topped with the beans, onion, tomato, and cheese and salsa. I put a ring of cooked broccoli florets around the outside.
