Popcorn Tofu, Saucy Seitan and more....

Usually I am just on the internet looking for the best recipes out there already created. There are SO MANY so why would I think to create some of my own?

Well that's simple - because I can't find a recipe for popcorn tofu! Perhaps seitan would be better in it's place. In fact I think it would be, the trouble would be getting the roughed up random shapes. So there's that...

I was also thinking - "boy am I bloated! I could use some fennel tea!" TMI??? LOL. But then I also thought "some ginger might help with my upset stomach too. But would that taste weird together? Would lemon help make it right?" See, so many questions and I am pretty sure finding the answer online would be tough.

The answer to my woes? Experiment of course. So on account I am in fact a little full in the tummy I think I will experience ginger fennel tea, possibly with lemon. I'll report back shortly.

While I'm waiting for the ginger to cook I was thinking of one of my favorites foods that I miss - pulled pork. There must be some way to recreate that. There's the beeper!

Results are in and the tea was surprisingly yummy. I added a bit of sugar and a little splash of lemon juice. I couldn't tell which flavor was stronger between the fennel and the ginger but it blended well regardless.

Dang Bluetooth!

I have taken pictures of food lately with my phone and getting them to the computer is frustrating me! I used to move the pictures to my Mac using bluetooth all the time and lately either the computer can't find my phone or vice versa. It's driving me nuts! So I promise, I have yummy pictures to put up - just as soon as I figure this out.

Today I made some more yummy Buffalo Tofu wraps. They have become a favorite of mine to make. Even Shane likes them! Today while the cut up tofu was sitting on the counter, Dennis just started grabbing pieces and eating it! My little boy is so weird with food! He eats lots of things that no other kid will, but getting him to sit still and eat his food in less than an hour is just not happening!

Last night I made stuffed pumpkins for the first time. Dennis was very excited about this but sure didn't want to get his fingers all yucky pulling out the seeds and pulp! LOL, so I got to do three pumpkins all by myself :) I plan on roasting the seeds later on tonight. Mmmmmm!

Also, I made another loaf of Sally Lunn bread today and once again - PERFECT!
