Yesterday we cooked the traditional turkey and all the trimmings for the meat eaters. However, I have recently decided to go vegetarian so I had to come up with something else for myself. Who knew that tofu and brussel sprouts could be so delicious? I got the inspiration for this dish from the blog 101 Cookbooks. The recipe is called Carmelized Tofu. I adjusted it to use sliced, roatsed almonds because I had no pecans and I also tossed in some dried cranberries and sesame seeds. Then I substituted maple syrup instead of brown suger. I made the sauteed brussel sprouts and put it all on top of some nice, fluffy quinoa with a splash of Bragg's Liquid Aminos and a little sesame oil. Oh my gosh, I was in heaven, and no turkey, mashed potato food coma! Now if I could have stayed away from the pumpkin pie and vanilla ice cream that would have been another story altogether.
Other fun stuff going on includes my new (ahem, used) little kiln baby. I drove out of town on Wednesday to snatch her up. I can't wait to try her out. We have the 220 outlet in the laundry room but the room is so tiny only the washer and dryer fit in there. So, alas, I will have to get a small shed or run the proper electric out to the garage. But, oh I am itching to try her out!
Last, but not least, my Black Friday/Cyber Monday Etsy sale is in full swing and is proving to be pretty successful so far. Most of the work in the shop are one of a kind items, so if there is anything you would like to purchase you might want to head on over there and get it before it gets snapped up.
