Plant-Based Nacho Burgers with Spicy Mayo

I absolutely love Aldi & I have since I was a wee little thing.

My grandparent’s lived in Franklin, Pennsylvania, and I remember spending countless summers up there. I always looked forward to going to the store where we put a quarter in the cart. My Gramps would search in his pocket for a quarter and occasionally a Luden’s wild cherry lozenge would accompany it.

Aldi has come a long way over the last 20 years and still remains incredibly kind on our grocery budget.

Need a burger to spice up your Labor Day this recipe is it.

    Planted-Based Chocolate Mousse

    Today, I want to introduce you to this delicious Plant-Based Chocolate Mousse made with tofu. Why? Honestly, I think this might be tofu’s biggest flex. Tofu can literally replace eggs in scrambles and chicken in my favorite Asian dishes and now chocolate mousse!

    Tofu is an incredibly versatile food. It takes up the favor of your seasonings and added flavors.

    If you haven’t tried tofu yet, this mousse can be your gateway introduction to it.

    The blended tofu provides a creamy and airy base.

    Tofu is commonly a point of debate whether it’s the GMOs or the estrogen. Research has so far not found GMOs to be harmful to human health.

    If you’re worried about GMOs, there are non-GMO tofu brands.

    Soy contributing to feminizing in men is another myth that has been debunked but continues to circulate within the interwebs.

    Tofu is a high-protein food that contains all of the essential amino acids. This makes soy one of the only plant sources that are a complete protein. It also provides fats, carbs, and a variety of vitamins and minerals.

    Okay, enough talk, grab a block of tofu, and whip this up for dessert this evening.
