One day recently I was trying to decide what to make for dinner. I was feeling a little sick, and was looking for comfort food. I thought I would make my Macaroni and cheese with spinach recipe, but we were out of flour. So instead I whipped up something new. I already had the frozen spinach thawing, so it would have to have spinach. We also still had a bunch of tomatoes from the garden (which had been ripening indoors). So I decided they would be good together. I also wanted it to be creamy, so I used the new trick I learned this summer of blending silken tofu with a little white miso and lime juice. Finally, I added some seitan (mock abalone) for a little more protein. The result was quite tasty.
