Figure 1. Sunday afternoon baking: pumpkin raisin oat bran muffins. Except I used wheat bran and whole wheat flour. They didn't rise and look a bit strange, but are still pretty tasty. My favorite 'healthy' bran muffin recipe, however, is still this one.
Figure 2. I finally found a use for my thesis and dissertation - pressing tofu. My academic advisors would be so proud...
Figure 3. In preparation: crispy breaded tofu strips and sweet potato fries. Fresh out of the oven.
Figure 4. Sunday night's dinner: crispy breaded tofu strips, sweet potato fries, and collard greens. This is the best method for sweet potato fries I have tried yet and these tofu strips were texturally exciting, but in desperate need of a dipping sauce (we used ketchup and bbq sauce).
Haha I love the schoolwork to press your tofu. You have me craving sweet potato fries something fierce right now!
ReplyDeletei you haven't yet - adding cumin to sweet potatoes like this is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYummy dinner!
ReplyDeleteBest use for school books :)

Deletehaha nice with the dissertation. And I looove collards. I have some for lunch today. :)
ReplyDeletehaha nice with the dissertation. And I looove collards. I actually have some for lunch today.
ReplyDeleteHahaha that's awesome! What was your dissertation on? Love putting it to good use ;).
ReplyDeleteoh man...do you really want to know? my dissertation was on environmental uranium contamination and chronic disease. sorry you asked?
DeleteHaha. That seems like a great use for your $150+ thesis/dissertation.

i know ---- right? ;)
DeleteI love crispy breaded tofu!
ReplyDeleteI always use cookbooks to press mine. My roommate always walks into the kitchen and is sooo confused!
this is the first time i'd had crispy tofu (to be honest, i'm fairly new to tofu). but it was great! i need to experiment with it more...
DeleteHahaha this is a great use! Gosh do I love sweet potato fries... will be making these this weekend :) You have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteThose muffins look just like the Trader Joe's ones that I love!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. Your thesis is a monster! Is it as long as your dissertation?
So, I did get a bit carried away with my thesis. But, the way it was printed is single-sided and the dissertation is double-sided. So, no it isn't as long...
DeleteOMG that looks like the best dinner ever... haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently baking up a sweet potato but just for the purpose of cutting it in half and slathering it in nut butter :)
