In my efforts to live a healthier lifestyle, I am trying to be a vegetarian. Well a pseudo vegetarian. I am not doing it because of any sort of animal rights thing. In fact I love meat! Especially a big, thick, juicy, medium steak. I am really focusing on eating more fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Now if I go to someone's house for dinner and they serve meat, I will definitely eat it. I wouldn't want to be rude. If I was going to be a true vegetarian for life, I wouldn't but I know that I am not. I am cutting it out for now and hoping that my body will no longer want as much as I want. There is no science behind it as far as I know, just my messed up thinking.
I have found some great vegetarian recipes with the help of my good friend pinterest. The one thing I can't figure out though is tofu. I saw a really great recipe for baked tofu with peanut sauce. Well, it had a really yummy looking picture. It said to press the tofu. It said that if I didn't have a tofu press then to press it between two plates. Then I was to slice the tofu and bake it. I got about as far as getting the tofu out of the package before messing it up. When I tried to press it between two plates, because pseudovegetarian's don't buy tofu presses, it all crumbled. There was no slicing the crumbles. So I stuck it in pan sprayed with PAM and tossed it with BBQ sauce. Then I mixed it up with some pearl couscous. I had no idea what the hell I was doing, but it turned out pretty good. I really would like some baked tofu with peanut sauce if anyone can tell me how to press it. Or better yet, just come press it for me.
