Double Stack Vegan Bean and Mexican Crumbles Tostadas and a GIVEAWAY!

I’ve mentioned before that I was a vegetarian for seven years in my late teens and early adulthood. Although I am clearly no longer a vegetarian, I still eat vegetable-heavy meals and retain some of my eating habits from those years. For instance, I’m an enthusiastic flinger of nutritional yeast (especially on buttered toast and popcorn). I eat vegetable-heavy meals most days of the week, and I swoon at farmer’s markets. My husband and our eldest two kids, God love ‘em, are equally enthusiastic eaters of vegetables. We’d be the healthiest eaters this side of the Mississippi if it weren’t for three little things…

 …My youngest three kids. The pickle-in-the-middle, our third born, is slowly emerging from his potato-pea-and-corn-only vegetable cocoon, having recently decided that herbs are alright and onions-–so long as he couldn’t recognize them in a dish–were okay. Our fourth born has embraced the wonderful world of salad lately, just so long as it is swimming in Ranch dressing. Our fifth born is the hold out. That little fellow won’t touch a vegetable knowingly. Paradoxically, he’s pretty keen on eating clover plants from our yard. I certainly won’t be the one to tell him it’s technically greenery he’s ingesting.

 By some miracle, I discovered that these guys ALL like Wildwood Hi-Protein SprouTofu in dishes. The happiness this gives me cannot be overstated. I adore Wildwood’s motto of being rooted in the healthy trend of not following trends. Preach it, folks! I can toss a piece of tofu into a smoothie to boost the protein. I can crumble tofu into Mapo Dofu (recipe coming soon). And while it’s their tofu that drew me into Wildwood, I have to confess that I’m pretty much wild over their Original Veggie Burgers and Meatless Crumbles. I love that I can feed them to my gluten-free, vegetarian nieces and nephew. It’s pretty awesome to be the fun aunt serving tostadas covered with refried beans and the Meatless Crumbles Mexican Inspired.

People. My avowed anti-vegetable kid devours these tostadas. WIN!
