It seems as though I’m on a tofu kick lately. The “skillet dry fry” as I call it is my favorite way to prepare tofu. But tonight I baked it in the oven. Baking is definitely easier and far less time consuming, but I like the “skillet dry fry” method the best. Bottom line is [...]

It was tasty, and the leftovers were even better! [...]

So I opened Great Food Fast and found a recipe for Glazed Carrots (which [...]
