When Heidi Swanson’s 101 Cookbooks recipe for Miso Sesame Winter Squash arrived in my inbox, I clicked over to it right away. I already had all of the sauce ingredients on hand, and only needed tofu and winter squash to complete the recipe. But last night when I finally mustered up the energy to make [...]

Things got a little hot in my kitchen the other night. Not only did I crank up the oven to roast the heck out of my broccoli and cauliflower made simply with olive oil, salt and pepper, but I also got a little firey-hot making some buffalo tofu. I had a block of tofu defrosting [...]

I don’t have many words for this post except: make this dish. Immediately. It’s another absolutely perfect Eating Well recipe and you can click here for the preparation instructions. If you love butternut squash, dark leafy greens, smokey tofu, a little spice, and hearty pasta dishes, you’ll want to make this asap. Ingredients: 2 teaspoons [...]

I don’t know why, but I seem to be in a cooking funk (not Funk) lately…no pun intended. This month has been overly crazy for the two of us, and I think it is sapping all of my creative cooking energy. Yes I’ve still been cooking, but it’s been the basics in our kitchen with [...]

In an effort to pare down the contents of our kitchen cabinets, I was digging through the other day and rediscovered these: I’ve had these spring roll wrappers that I bought in Chinatown for at least a couple years. I swear they don’t go stale! I love spring rolls, both eating them and making them. [...]

I started earlier in the day soaking the bulgur with equal parts bulgur and water. I really should incorporate bulgur into our repertoire more. It’s so insanely simple since you don’t even need to cook it! The bulgur soaks up all of the water in about an hour, and you’re ready to use it as [...]

I’ve declared my love for a good tofu scramble good number of times on the blog before. They’re so satisfying with all the protein from the tofu, and they’re a great way to toss in any random mix of fresh or leftover ingredients. I had about a cup of grilled summer squash leftover from our [...]

Tofu gets such a bad rap. Sure it’s a blubbery white block of who-knows-what (soy) that is completely tasteless, but that doesn’t mean we should all be haters! Once I learned how to cook with tofu and flavor it correctly, I started to really love it. And isn’t that the case with most foods? I [...]

Last week I received a few packs of Arnold Sandwich Thins from the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program. Love food mail! And love Sandwich Thins. My mom bought them for us a few years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. When I make sandwiches, I don’t love using basic bread (bo-ring!). For me, wraps, tortillas, pitas, [...]

The other night I had the ingredients on hand to make a simple stir fry. I followed an Eating Well recipe for Tofu & Broccoli Stir Fry and I didn’t plan on blogging about it, because you’ve seen simple stir frys here before. But about halfway through cooking, I realized: This stir fry is amazing! [...]
