Tofu....yes really tofu

So last week while shopping for the recipe for that week, I came across the "organic " aisle in the supermarket. Walking through there I noticed a whole section of Tofu and I thought "Maybe next week?" So I bought it....like every man my age would do when coming across Tofu...right?

Anyway so this week I easily convinced my children to make a tofu recipe with me to try it out. This is how i know that my cooking adventure with them has done alot for us. They never would have agreed to try tofu before we started cooking together. I guess the whole experience must have made them more open to try new things....NEAT!!!

The recipe we decided on was called "Sloppy Tofu"....if you havent guessed it yet that means its sloppy joe made from tofu. Check it out for yourself right here

Here is our adventure:

Never in a million years would I ever think this would be part of a recipe...but....here it is

My oldest chopping things up...shes getting good with the knife. I dont know if I should be proud or scared

Tofu baking time!

Onions to pan ...

then the green peppers joined the party

Then just adding in everything else in no particular order

almost done

I couldnt wait to take a bite before the pic...whoops

added broccoli with cheese too..yummy

With this adventure I learned alot. I didnt think that combining those weird mix of ingredients would turn out so good. And I learned that thanks to this cooking adventure we do each week, we have learned to try new things without being afraid of what might taste like.

Rating time!!!

My girls rating: 2/3 thought it was yummy and wanted seconds. My oldest said it was "Ok...but not great."

My rating: I really enjoyed cooking with something new and interesting. And it tastes fantastic to me. Im adding it to the recipe book.
