Tofu Teriyaki

Published by Rachel September 24th, 2008 in Asian, Poultry, Beef, Vegetarian, 5 Stars, Family Recipe, Entertaining, Easy Preparation, Heart Healthy and Sauce. 0 Comments

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 […]

Tofu, Potato, and Pea Curry

Tofu isn’t -s’s favorite, but he does like (read will eat) tofu at Thai restaurants.  Tofu at restaurants has a much denser texture, and I finally figured out how to cook it like that at home.  The key is getting all the water out before you cook it.  I started pan frying the tofu in […]

I really like Pad Thai.  I really like Thai food in general.  I came across a shrimp Pad Thai recipe in Great Food Fast (if you haven’t already guessed, it’s my current favorite cookbook!), and I adapted that recipe for tofu in lieu of the shrimp.  It was tasty, and the leftovers were even better!
Ingredients:

Honey Glazed Carrots

I’ve been meaning to make honey glazed carrots for some time.  It’s one of those recipes that I come across quite frequently, but when it came time to actually find a recipe in my collection of cookbooks and magazines, I couldn’t.  So I opened Great Food Fast and found a recipe for Glazed Carrots (which […]
