Frozen Pressed Tofu
I have found that I can just never make tofu taste like it does when I eat it at restaurants…. until now. I’ve tried this new method a number of times now and it has come out tasty every time. First, I take a block (or 2,3 or 4 blocks!) of organic firm tofu and I press the whole block for an hour. For those who don’t know how to press tofu, you take the tofu and wrap it in a dish towel or paper towels and then set it on a cutting board. I then stack about 5 other cutting boar


Organic Heirloom Tomato Soup
I don’t think it’s physically possible not to like this soup if you like tomatoes. Even all of the kids we have given it to completely approve of it and there is nothing “bad” in it.

For super-easy cookouts, bake the patties ahead, then reheat them on the grill. Serve with your favorite burger f


Pineapple Fried Rice
I have tried about five different recipes for Pineapple Fried Rice and none of them have come out good at all. They have all been bland, no matter what I seem to do. BUT, I have finally made a recipe that is amazing!! My inspiration came from this recipe I found on flickr. I combined some of the ideas from this recipe with the other recipes I had made, which were good but bland. Finally, when this one turned out bland too, in a moment of frustration I decided to pour in a gin
