Meatless Monday: Barbeque Tofu!

It’s Monday, which means it is time for another Meatless Monday recipe!

Tonight, it is time to get back to our Southern roots. I’m talking barbeque, slaw, and creamed corn.

Barbeque Tofu!

You will need:

1 block of extra firm tofu

Cornstarch

Barbeque sauce

Cooking oil, I’m using canola oil

Directions:

1. Take the tofu out of the package, slice it in to thin ‘steak’ cuts.

2. Using paper towels or clean dishtowels press the excess water out of the tofu.

3. Slice the tofu into small square pieces.

4. Pour some cornstarch into a small bowl & lightly coat each piece of tofu in cornstarch.

5. Place the tofu in a pan with a little bit of oil. The cornstarch will help give the tofu a little bit of a crunch.

6. Coat the tofu in barbeque sauce.

I paired mine with this delicious and creamy vegan coleslaw as well as canned cream corn, and of course sweet tea. :) 

Give this delicious meal a try and let me know what you think! :)

5 Can Salsa.

I apologize in advance for how late this post is, but hopefully you will find that it was worth the wait. (:

Tonight I had several friends come over to watch the Halloween Episode of Pretty Little Liars and the world première of Ravenswood. So, I got distracted making snacks and preparing for them to come over.

So tonight, I’m going to break my routine and instead of talking about  a fast food chain I’m going to show you an awesome dip I made to share.

This recipe actually comes from some friends of mine and after eating this once at their house, I had to have the recipe.

This salsa is AMAZING.
