Red Kidney Beans Creole style

This inspired by one of the creole recipe I saw and veganized it. It also non-spicy since I feed it to my kids. I don't have creole mix seasoning as most of them in a store contain MSG.

Oil
1 lg Onion
6 stalks Celery
1 lg Bell pepper
5 cloves of Garlic
1 lb bag of dry Red Kidney beans
1 tsp Liquid smoke
1 tbsp veg worchester sauce
1 tsp Paprika
1 tbsp Thyme
3 Bay leaves
Salt

Soak the beans over night. Then cook till tender.
Chop and saute the onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic.
Add the cooked beans. Bring to boil and turn the heat low.
Add all spices, liquid smoke, worchester.
Salt to taste.
Take out the Bay leaves and serve over hot cooked rice. Brown or white.

Tomato Miso soup

My daughter is hooked on Miso soup for a while. She likes it when I add the buckweat noodles. I wanted to make a variation and I think it turned out well. Well, she liked it!

1 can diced tomatos
2 cans of water (use the tomato can to measure)
1 bunch of buckwheat noodles (they are sold in pack of 4; I'm sure you can use spaghetti about thumb thick bunch and break them in 1/2)
Handful of dry Wakame Seaweed - soak in cold water them chop them up with scissors
2 tbsp Miso
1/3 of 14 oz Tofu pkg drained and cut up into tiny cubes

Mix the tomatoes with water and bring to boil.
Add the noodles and cook till al dente.
Add the miso, tofu, and wakame. Bring to boil and take it off the heat.
Quick and easy ;-)
