Cooking tip of the week!

..Looking for a great way to add protein to a salad and have it be healthy and taste good???


Here are two great ways:


1.  Take 1/3 a package of extra firm tofu and cut into small bite size cubes.  Saute' in a little olive oil and soy sauce on high heat... it should start to brown and get a little crispy looking on all sides.  Remove from heat and sprinkle in you salad of mixed dark green leafy greens... this compliment well with tomato, steamed and cooled edamame, and almonds.  


Another way:


2. Take a Gardenburger patty and brown it on both sides in a pan on medium-high heat.  Remove from heat when crispy and break or cut it into pieces and sprinkle in salad of dark-green leafy greens... this compliments well with a little tomato, cucumber, small amount of sharp cheddar cheese, and green onion. 




ATTENTION:  MAJOR YUMMY ALERT AHEAD!!!!


Also, my kids LOVE pan seared tofu ( like above) with edamame,shredded carrot, and rice ( with a splash of soy sauce). They seriously gobble it up!!!


Enjoy!!!
