Spice and Herb Encrusted Grilled Tofu

This post is dedicated to mi padre, whose favourite saying is current;y “didn’t have that when I was a kid.”  Its quick and  easy, I didn’t even have to press the tofu because grilling it on the barbie seems to dry it out pretty well.

Salt in a Wound.. and some stuffed tofu

It’s the end of April in Boston and frankly (my dear), the weather is crap.  The past couple of days have been rainy, grey, and cold.  As if to add insult to injury, I was scouring a few of my favourite food blogs today and came across VARIOUS posts about all the zucchini blossoms, heirloom [...]

Pine Nut Crusted Tofu stuffed with Pesto and Slow Roasted Tomato

I’m particularly proud of this post because this dish was very experimental.  Usually experimental attempts go very wrong.  But it didn’t- it was fantastic!!! Yes it may look like the tofu is vomiting squid ink, but the pesto sort of baked through the tofu and gave it a nice texture, and the pine nut and [...]

Smokey Tofu Scramble with mixed Veggies

I’ve been over-egging lately, so here is a vegan alternate- the tofu scramble.  My dad tried it and said if he was told it was scrambled eggs, he wouldn’t of thought any different.  So there you have it!  I used left over scraps of veggies from the tian, I think there was even a bit [...]

Glazing and Grilling Tofu

Tofu can be tricky.  It’s the texture that bothers me, the flavour isn’t a problem- it will absorb anything and can easily be enhanced with marinades and glazes.  Frying tofu in a pool of veggie oil is a viable option, but I hate deep frying- the left over oil, and the smell, and the greasiness [...]

This is as Close as it’s Going to Get to Bento.

Do you see the nori cut into the shape of a heart??? That’s as ornate as I could get, a far cry from the bento boxes currently gracing foodgawker with their presence.  A for effort.
I wanted to do my sushi bowl tonight- sort of like a free form sushi consisting of sushi rice mixed with [...]

What to Do with Leftover Chinese Food

On Thursday (?) we ordered Chinese food.  Jon got General Tso’s Tofu and I got steamed veggies and tofu (yes, I am one of those).  Of course we didn’t finish it all, so we had a bunch of left overs.  Today we reused them- we stir fried the steamed veggies and tofu medley with garlic, [...]

Pot Noodle for Grown-Ups

When I was in college, Freshman year to be exact, I ate cup noodle (or is it pot noodle?) for dinner almost every night.. and so did everyone else in my dorm.  Nothing will ever be as comforting as a cup of noodles that takes a few minutes to create, but here is a healthier [...]
