Sherbet's Replacement!

Salads are so good when then have variety.  These have spinach, iceberg lettuce, mixed field greens, red orange green yellow bell peppers, cucumbers, almonds, grape tomatoes, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, and ground pepper.  That's like ~13 different healthy raw foods! 

Tofu w/ broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, and green beans

 My arteries are cheering!

Sockeye Salmon, Zucchini, and Broccoli

Sockeye Salmon, Zucchini, and Broc.  A good healthy meal. I am glad I gave the zucc a second chance, its not bad.  Maybe I will revisit squash and see it is as horrible as I remember.

Burnt Chicken

Another healthy meal.  Once I peeled off the skin this chicken was great.  I know that chicken breast is better for you(less fat), but these legs are only $1 per pound.  Veggies are never too expensive, but the protein source kills me.  Luckily I am discovering that Tofu is a great source of lean protein and it is about $2 a pound.

Cubed Tofu w/ Cabbage, Broccoli, and Cauliflower

Today I experimented further with cubed tofu.  I diced up some firm tofu up and marinated it in ranch powder, pepper and liquid smoke.  I baked it at 350 for almost an hour, turning halfway thru.  They came out delicious!  Liquid smoke was the secret.  What a great healthy meal, now if I can just do this more regularly I will be be in better shape.  Tofu continues to amaze me.

Maritime Refuse

Every time I go to the beach (Matagorda, TX) I find another odd piece of maritime refuse that has washed up on the beach.  I always wonder where the heck this stuff comes from and what it is...

Tofu #2

My second attempt at cooking tofu was a success!  I experimented with two different marinades, one with Ranch powder and the other was heavy with Chacheres.  Both versions were tasty.  I think the grill is the key to good tofu.  Next attempt I will use the oven and see what happens.  Broccoli, green beans, and tofu squares...A healthy lunch!
