Tofu Stir-Fry

by eatingbirdfood on April 28, 2008

One of my best friends was in town this weekend, so we ate out a lot. Which was good because I got to try 3 different restaurants in Richmond that I hadn’t been to before. The Bakers Crust, Deluxe, and Avalon.

But last night we decided since we had been eating out for almost all meals besides breakfast we should cook dinner. To keep things simple we decided to to tofu stir-fry. The Kroger we went to didn’t have any of the firm tofu in the produce section so we decided to give the shelf stable tofu a try (neither of us had had it before). We got the pre-seasoned firm kind. I prepared it the same way I do the refrigerated tofu. I’m not sure what the difference is but it is a lot softer than the other variety. We stir-fried the tofu and it never got crispy like the other does. I even used nutritional yeast. It did say to drain the water from the tofu for 30 minutes, but we didn’t want to wait, it was already around 9, which is really late for me to eat dinner. I am usually starving by 6pm. I’ll post a picture of the left overs from last night today, because I plan on having it for dinner, but it pretty much turned out like scrambled tofu. It tasted great though so I didn’t mind, but I do like chunks better. If anyone knows what the difference between the two is please let me know. Thanks.

WARNING- Addictive Cereal

by eatingbirdfood on April 22, 2008

I love Trader Joe’s and something I have found that they are really good at, besides tomato soup and trail mix, is cereal. Every kind I have tried from there is amazing. Right now Isaac travels from Richmond to DC every now and again and I get him to stop by Trader Joe’s and stock up on my favorite items. We even have a bag that keeps frozen items cold so I get my frozen things too. But last time he went he bought this kind of cereal.

 

 

 

 It’s sooo good! It is extra crunchy and stays the way even when in milk. I hate cereal that gets soggy quickly! But I have mostly been eating this as a snack dry- like tonight, for example I had a handful put in a bowl and thought I could leave it at that, but no I went back twice and got more. So this a warning to you that this cereal is addictive. Buy it at your own risk!

Today we are going to Isaac’s grandparents house for a Passover Seder. I had been trying to decide all week what food to make to bring along for the dinner. I am not Jewish, so sometimes coming up with kosher recipes off the top of my head isn’t easy so I just searched on cookinglight.com [...]
