Dinner 3: Tofu Kin Tastic!

Hello Readers!

Birdman here.  Giggles and I are back for dinner number three!  Woo!!

Have you ever tried tofu?  Before becoming a vegetarian, ‘tofu’ used to be sort of a dirty word, hehe.  It was a weird mystery substance that came from some classified vegetarian research facility located somewhere around Area 51. 

But you know what?  Once I tried it, it was actually pretty good.  Not as tasty as meat, or scrumptious as fresh baked bread, or bursting with flavor as strawberries, but it certainly isn’t bad.  On a scale from 1 being ‘this makes me puke,’ 5 being ‘sure I’ll eat it,’ and 10 being ‘orgasm in my mouth,’ I would rate tofu at 6.87259 (repeating 9 digit).  And part of the reason why I enjoy tofu is because I know it’s healthy: it’s vegan friendly, low in fat, and high in protein.  Plus it’s relatively inexpensive.  You can buy a standard package of tofu (serves about two) from the grocery store for around $3.  If I had a choice to add tofu to a meal, like stir fry and rice, I’d definitely do it.

How about second dinner ...

Hey Awesome Readers!

The second dinner turned out just as great as the first!  Once again, this past Thursday night Giggles and I prepared a delicious soup and bread.  This time of year is just great for that warm and tasty comfort food.  Giggles picked the recipes this time and went with Minestrone Soup and Yeast-Free Oatmeal Whole Wheat Bread.  Both are off of VegWeb.com.  I was in charge of soup and selected sparkling white grape juice (It's looks like wine so we can pretend we're adults, hehe).

Dinner Numero Uno!

Hey Everyone!

We're still here!  Things are a bit different now in our lives.  Mostly with Giggles.  She has graduated (woo! congrats!) and has begun a new chapter in her life at chiropractic school in Bloomington, MN.  If you remember from our first postings, we decided we would find a new recipe each week that we could each make.  Then we could blog about it and stay connected that way.  Connected through food!

So this past Thursday was the first meal we made.  It was Birdman's turn to pick this week (Giggles will be next week) and Giggles chose the beverage of hot chocolate.  And we think it was a good start because it turned out delicious.  Plus they were very simple recipes.  We made No Yeast Bread along with Wild Rice and Vegetable Soup using recipes we got off of VegWeb.com (a great website for vegetarian recipes).
