Tofu has got to be one of my favorite ingredients ever. It comes in different textures – silken, soft, firm, extra firm. It is so versatile and super nutritious too. There’s so many ways to prepare it. You can marinate it and then grill it, pan fry it, stir fry it, bake it, etc. You can incorporate it in soup or in a stew. Steamed tofu is great too. For dessert, tofu can be used to make ice cream, pie, or cheesecake and more cheesecake.
Tofu can be enjoyed raw as well. (Just make sure you’re using tofu from airtight packages and that the tofu hasn’t been sitting around opened for days.) Here’s a recipe for tofu crumbles using firm tofu. These tofu crumbles are pretty basic and can be used as a topping for many dishes, e.g. scooped onto a salad or added to a sandwich or wrap. If raw tofu is not your thing, you can cook it in a pan with some olive oil and it’ll kind of resemble scrambled eggs.

Here are some pictures from my recent home pizza making adventure. The best part about making my own pizza at home is that we can put any ingredients we like and as much of it as we like.
Pizza 1: This one is like a Supreme Pizza. It’s toppings include… pretty much as many of the toppings you can find! This one has sliced mushrooms, onions, green pepper, and sausage.
Pizza 2: This pizza is my favorite. Its main toppings are pineapples and ham. This is also known as the Hawaiian. (Interesting fact: The Hawaiian pizza actually did not originate from Hawaii. It’s only called Hawaiian because of the characteristics of the toppings.) Occasionally, I would find this available at a local pizzeria. However, they are usually pretty stingy with the toppings. My slice would usually contain no more than 2 chunks of pineapple and 3 tiny pieces of ham. This is what a pineapple and ham pizza should look like!
Can’t forget about the Parmesan cheese!
Enter the oven and about 15-20 minutes later…
