Tofu Steak

Chef de Cuisine is back in the kitchen and eager to try new recipes, starting with a tofu cookbook on her shelf. Today she made a tofu 'steak' - tofu coated with a mixture of flour, paprika, salt, pepper and thyme and cooked. Then onions and green and red peppers sauteed, can of diced tomatoes added with a bit of broth and simmered for about fifteen minutes. Served with quinoa, this dinner was filled with extra protein without the extra fat.

Crazy Cravings!

Tofu Bites and Sauce

Normal people crave chocolate. Or cheese. or ice cream.

But what do I crave lately? Tofu. You have my permission to now declare me crazy.

After a week of craving tofu, I finally gave in to my own insanity. I cooked tofu "breaded" with nutritional yeast (an excellent source of Vitamin B12) in oil. The sauce is soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ginger and garlic. So good!

Maybe now I'll be more like normal people now that i have fulfilled my craving of late. Be on the lookout for scrumptious chocolate recipes on here! *grin*
