What's For Dinner?

[walkonby]

@harbie you got my curiosity going with the Tofu Feta! I use about 20-30 grams of real feta ( light version of course ) nearly every day in or on many of my allowable foods. ( I think I like the salt... ha ha )
I searched how to make the tofu version and it actually sounds pretty decent. BUT, I cannot bring myself to go the tofu route, I don't know why it gives me the willies?

btw, your salad made my mouth water! Must be near lunchtime for me....

I think I need to find someone who knows how to make Tofu "right." I have tried it a few times and did not enjoy it but I think it was my lack of knowledge on how to use it. But I agree someone says Tofu and sadly I think, "no, thank you."

ha ha...... and don't get me started on my DH's opinion of tofu, he's a total lost cause, it will never cross his lips.

Tonight we decided on Homemade Pizza before we cannot use out oven, oh the joys of not having AC. Although I have purchased a portable unit but do not think it will cool the house enough we could use the oven but hopefully we can at least use the stove or electric skillet.

@walkonby I highly recommend this recipe. It’s from one of our fave restaurants. I add a bit more salt and lemon juice because I like a saltier and more briney flavour.

I used to loath tofu and I was terrified of what I’d eat for protein when I went vegetarian first ( made the change due to kidney stones) but I have found way to prepare it that I now LOVE it. I do a “salmon” that is sooooooo yummy. It’s all in the preparation and execution. Breaded and air fried would be wonderful and tossed in a sauce at the last minute to keep them crunchy would be delicious.

I agree @SassyAshley if you haven’t had it done properly then it can be difficult. I don’t have an air fryer but am looking for one so I can get crispy tofu without using the oven.

@harbie : thank you for posting a recepie of tofu.It is something I never try but would be willing and curious to try someday.Seeing yours post being vegetarian is not a boring thing haha

[cath007]

@harbie , I love out Air Fryer so much I also bought the double Air Fryer. That was the only downfall for me was if we wanted to make Potatoes and Veggies in the air fryer I had to make one, try to keep it warm well I cooked the other so the Double Air Fryer made sense for us.

I will warm they are a bit loud. I have heard of some the newer ones are not as loud but you do know when it is running.

Tofu is the reason I suggested we try an air fryer. I am not a fan of tofu in general but in the air fryer it is good.

@cath007 Dh and I are actually vegan (100% plant based so so dairy, meat, anything that comes from an animal) and it’s anything but boring. Funny thing is I find it easier to cook vegan than when I had to cook meats. There is no cross contamination risks, making sure the chicken is fully cooked, not the same number of recalls especially on meats. The only thing is that it can be expensive if you want the convenience of things like burgers or “chickun” . As long as you are aware of that you can adjust accordingly.
@SassyAshley what brand did you get? I’ve been holding off thinking it was just hype (kinda like the instant pot) but the more I see people using it on IG I’m leaning more towards biting the bullet and getting one.

My sister-in-law says the same thing about being Vegan, she does not need to worry about cross contamination or being fully cooked.
