I promised to share the recipe for this yummy dish from my Instagram stories yesterday. So here it is! It is the perfect mid-week dish and I&#8217;m pretty sure that it is very kids-friendly as well.. I mean which kid doesn&#8217;t like mashed potatoes? The gravy is usually only made with mushrooms but I decided to also add tofu for some more protein. It actually makes a pretty good combo. Also, I&#8217;m very aware that this is more like a winter dish haha, but pregnancy has me craving these types of dishes right now. Now, to the recipe. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-1343026915\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1343026915 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1194111844\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/tofu-mushroom-gravy_-3-819x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/tofu-mushroom-gravy_-3-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/tofu-mushroom-gravy_-3-510x638.jpg 510w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/tofu-mushroom-gravy_-3-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/tofu-mushroom-gravy_-3-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1194111844 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-330429920\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-330429920 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_273483700\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/tofu-mushroom-gravy_-2-819x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/tofu-mushroom-gravy_-2-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/tofu-mushroom-gravy_-2-510x638.jpg 510w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/tofu-mushroom-gravy_-2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/blissfulval.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/tofu-mushroom-gravy_-2-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_273483700 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-1385878717\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1385878717 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<h1><strong>Mushroom &amp; Tofu Gravy with Mashed Potatoes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Makes 2 Servings<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tofu &amp; Mushroom Gravy:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 tbsp olive oil<\/li>\n<li>1 package mushrooms, sliced (I chose shiitake mushrooms but you can chose mushrooms of your choice)<\/li>\n<li>1 package firm tofu, cubed<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup flour (I used spelt flour but you can also use all-purpose flour)<\/li>\n<li>2 cups vegetable broth<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of sea salt<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of black pepper<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp fresh thyme leaves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Mashed Potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 Russet Potatoes, peeled and diced<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup vegan butter<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup plain plant milk (I chose oat milk)<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of sea salt<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of black pepper<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp garlic powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cook the peeled and diced potatoes in boiling water until easily pierced with a fork.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Prepare the gravy while the potatoes cook, by heating oil in a skillet over medium heat.
