    Chocolate Tofu Mousse Parfaits

     (20K)
    This is my man's absolute favorite dessert. I think we've tricked ourselves into believing it is super healthy because it's made with tofu , but really it is just extra yummy. This can be a fabulous vegan treat too!

    Kimmy Tso's Chicken

     (21K)
    So, I LOVE General Tso's chicken. It is terribly and awfully delicious. Really, I just cannot get enough spicy, fried sweetness in my life. I spent quite a few hours in the kitchen trying to make General Tso's chicken for myself and after much practice I have come up with my own version which is quite tasty. It has lots of ginger and a few other non-traditional ingredients but it definitely works. Don't be a fraid of the recipe. I'm a free-form cook. The wide ranges of measurements are for you to adjust to your own preferences. Leave out stuff you don't like and add more of the tastes that please you. It's all good :) Enjoy.

    This is a BIG family favorite. Try it with asparagus or fresh lemony green beans and an easy cous cous dish.

    Lamajune Dressing

     (19K)
    Incredibly flavorful and healthy dressing. This spicy tomato, lemon, garlic ,mint sauce is the reason I grow mint. It is awesome on strong greens , like arugula. I also use it on fried polenta. This recipe is an adaptation from a guy I cooked with who learned it from his days cooking at Main St. Grill in Richmond, VA...sadly, that lovely place is no longer on the map but this dressing lives on.

    Tofu Brownies

    I modified this recipe to be a little less sweet and more chewy. Adding chocolate chips will make it more rick...but if you're looking for a healthy brownie fix, leave'm out :)
