Agedashi tofu is one of my favourite easy and tasty dishes to make. It's a simple Japanese way to serve hot tofu. Silken (kinugoshi) firm tofu, cut into cubes, is lightly dusted with potato starch or cornstarch and then deep fried until golden brown. It's then served in a hot tentsuyu broth made of dashi, mirin, and shoyu (Japanese soy sauce), and topped with finely chopped green onions or grated daikon *rubs belly*

NICE.Yuppers, and it is awwwwesome!
Not a huge tofu fan but that's like totally-bad-for-you junkfood, without being totally bad for you![]()
There's a version of this made with lamb. It's good. Regular old saag is good too, but I prefer having animal fat and muscle season my food.
This is one of my favorite recipes from my Italian grandma Annie. She called it "frosia", and I have never been able to find it in any Italian cookboook. It may actually be unique to my family. It's like a frittata, but with a much different texture because of the bread she dissolves in the mixture. I loved eating it with her special Lenten season spaghetti made with lots of fresh fennel right from her own garden. Wonderful memories!
"Frosia"
1 dozen eggs
1 pkg hot dog buns
1 small onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups grated Romano
1 small handful fresh mint, finely chopped
salt, pepper, and garlic to taste
Crumble up buns in large mixing bowl. Add other ingredients and mix well. (Dissolve the bread as much as possible. No big lumps). Pour in greased skillet and bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Cool slightly, turn out upside down onto serving plate and cut into little squares.
how about some vegan recipes? I'm slightly lactose intolerant and I'm trying to cut down on dairy since it gives me gas and loose stools, I know TMI. I found some non-dairy ice cream I like made with coconut milk I can do some dairy like if I do half a bagel with cream cheese I'm fine but much more then that it's not pretty. I also like almond milk in cereal that's good
