How do you do the brussel sprouts? I am looking for something different from my usual roasted with bacon.

it's so easy! I blanche them in either salted water or chicken stock (which I will do tonight and then make the rice with it...nutrients baby!) and then sautee them with a good amount of minced garlic and olive oil..really to taste but I like them super garlick. I remove some for my niece who doesn't like spice, and then I add in the crushed red pepper flakes, again amount depending on how hot you like your food.

this is actually a serious favorite of my veggie hating 13-year-old niece. everyone is a big fan, and before this we were on the all pancetta, all the time brussel sprout station.

Hi! I make this at least once a week! It's so delish and my husband loves it too:
http://nutritiontokitchen.com/2010/02/28/crispy-panko-crusted-tofu-with-curry-sauce/

I use Trader Joe's Panko crumbs and extra firm tofu. About an hour before, drain the water from the tofu, put it between two paper towels with something heavy on top to get the moisture out. Instead of making the curry sauce, I use Ty Ling's Naturals General Tso's sauce, and pour it on while I'm cooking the tofu. I cut the tofu into smaller pieces than is shown in the recipe, but I'm sure it tastes the same. Enjoy!
