Zucchini Bread


From the Whole Foods website

This is delicious! I would definitely make this again and not hesitate to make it for others. The prep is fairly quick and very easy. And it made my whole apartment smell great. The only changes I made were that I didn't have any fresh nutmeg so I just used powdered, I already had a bag of pecans so I used those instead of walnuts and I wasn't sure what whole wheat pastry flour was versus whole wheat flour which is what I used. I could not find anything called "pastry" flour...

Baked Tofu



From How to Cook Everything Vegetarian (pg. 641)


I got a block of firm tofu from Trader Joe's and cut it in half, seasoning one half with just salt and the other half with soy sauce per the basic recipe and one of the alternate suggestions. I put both in glass baking dishes and baked per recipe and had a side of zucchini and onions.


The tofu was good but a bit on the bland side. The soy sauce flavored version (on the right in the photo with the darker edges) was definitely better but still needed a bit more flavor as well. I suspect this is better when added to a stir fry or some other dish rather than on its own. Next time I'll try it with either a stronger sauce or just more salt and some pepper and/or other seasoning.
