A flavor-packed marinated and grilled tofu is paired with roasted turnips and baby red garlic potatoes today. It’s served with a light and tangy pan sauce. A savory creamed spinach brightens up the plate and a dollop of whole cranberries compliments the earthy flavors. There’s a hint of the wild in this old-fashioned, flavor-packed meal.
Thaw a brick of frozen tofu this morning. You’ll be making Marinated/Grilled Tofu during the day.
It’s Saturday, April and time to make some plans.
Another great week of dining lies ahead. Enjoy!
A traditional Italian meal will grace your table tonight. You’ll be plating penne pasta with Marinara Sauce, mushrooms and chopped Italian sausage. Use a link of your favorite plant-based or optional meat sausage in this dish.
Lacinato kale plays the leading role in tonight’s production, but it’s the supporting cast that makes this ensemble sing. Smoky tempeh delivers a powerful performance (filling the role of bacon) and poached eggs anchor this tasty production with savory richness. This memorable ensemble is completed with caramelized potato slices.
Bravo to the comfort food experience!
Cheese or spinach ravioli in a yogurt-based cream sauce and dressed fresh spinach find their way to your table this evening. The ravioli are served with browned mushrooms and the pasta is topped off with chopped fresh tomato and a sprinkle of Gorgonzola crumbles.
This dinner is a one plate wonder that doesn’t even need a side salad.
Here’s another great example of how favorite foods are born when two cultures assimilate. Teriyaki sauce got its start in Hawaii when the Japanese newcomers added pineapple juice and brown sugar to the local basting sauce.
This scrumptious homemade teriyaki sauce works great as a stir-fry sauce over any meat and vegetable combination.
