Odds That Never End

A chronicle of the many busy things my hands (and maybe other bits as well) are up to.

Yummy, Scrummy Tofu!

Well, Sea from "Book of Yum" does it again! She gave us a fabulous dinner. If you remember a while back I made her Okonomiyaki and we had a feast fit for a king. Tonight, I made her Barbecue Tofu Recipe. The only change I made was I baked the tofu on a baking stone (w/o any cooking spray) which I think made the coating really stick well to the tofu. I had no problems with it peeling off. I served it with my homemade mini corn bread loaves. The whole time dh and I were eating it, I kept hearing him mumble, "Oh yeah, THIS is GOOD!" LOL You get two thumbs up from us Sea. I even took a picture just before I served:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mini Corn Bread Loaves

1 c Yellow Corn Meal
1 c Brown Rice Flour*
1 tea Salt
2 tea Xanthan Gum
2 tbl Baking Powder
1/3 c Coconut Oil
2 Eggs
1 c Yogurt (I use goat because my dd can't have cow dairy, but cow yogurt works too)
2 tea apple cider vinegar
1 c milk substitute (I use Eden Blend Rice Soy)
1/4 c Honey

*I usually break the 1 cup of Rice Flour up to include other flours. I think it gives it a better rounded flavor. Which flours I use depends on what I have on hand and my mood. One example: 1/2 c brown rice flour, 1/4 c coconut flour, 1/4 c chickpea flour. I like baking with coconut flour, so I sneak it into many recipes.

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees
-In a med size bowl, mix the vinegar with the yogurt to sour and let set a few minutes.
-In a large size bowl, mix all dry ingredients.
-Add to the med bowl the rest of the wet ingredients
-Stir liquid into dry until just blended.
-Pour into greased pan (or if you use a baking stone like I did, skip this step)
-Bake at 350 degrees for 35 min. If making this in one large pan, bake for 40-45 min.


This is a picture I took this past summer of our cat waiting for the corn bread to bake. You can see my stone mini loaf pan.

This past weekend I also started a new scarf for Scott. I bought him a new wool winter coat and the scarf I knitted for him a couple years ago no longer matches. Bummer. I picked up some scrummy Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool in black at 40% off at my LYS. After much searching, we chose the Forbes scarf pattern from Scarf Style. Oh man, this is one time consuming scarf! I worked on it a fair bit on Sun. Hadyn and I have had some sort of stomach flu and we both took it easy. So, I spent a lot of time knitting with her. After a full day of on and off knitting, I only accomplished 3.5"! Yikes. You can't tell from this picture, but it has lots of different cables. It's a really lovely pattern, but I'm worried I may not finish it for this winter.

Ooh, looks yummy! Love the kitty looking in the oven. Mine aren't observant enough- too busy sleeping on the couch. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. Now I want to make it again! We had yummy tofu last night, actually, but of an entirely different style..
