Yummy Grilled Tofu!

On Mother's Day I was blessed with being able to do absolutely NOTHING!  My husband & kids took over.  It was definitely a difficult thing for me to do.  I found myself wanting to get up & help or just take over. 

The yummiest part of all this was what my husband made for dinner.  He was making shishkabobs with steak & veggies but as you all probably know, I don't eat meat.  He asked me a few questions about how to cook tofu.  Do you know what?  He grilled the tofu with yummy seasonings, peppers, tomatoes, summer squash and oh my yumminess!!  It was SO good!!  Ok, so for those of you who know tofu, you know you should probably squeeze the water out right?  Well, that's what I have always done.  I forgot to tell him that part.  He drained the water, seasoned it & grilled it.  I was SO pleasantly surprised.  It wasn't dry like I'm used to!  It was moist & not like eating a sponge.  It was yummy.

So, I hope I have maybe talked one of you into being curious enough to give it a try.  Tofu isn't nasty like some make it out to be.  It comes in different firmness too.  I like the silken in my protein smoothies in the morning.  Yum!!  The great thing about tofu is it's a flavorless base that you can make taste however you want it to!  Whatever you put it with, it will soak up that flavor.  Cool!!

If you have had tofu before, how do you cook/season it?  I would love to try it a different way!! 
Do you find it's hard to sit back & let others take care of you?

Happy Mothers Day!!

What a wonderful day.  Truly it is.  Just about every Sunday is for me.  I love our church & the Sundays I get to be blessed to be part of the worship team are even more special.  THEN today is Mothers Day!  Even better. 

My 13 yr old made me a beautiful jewelry box with the help of a friend of ours:

I got some cool cups I have wanted, a classical piano cd & beautiful earrings that my daughter made for me.  I feel so blessed :)

As my quiet day went on my little girl came to me with tears in her eyes & her very first loose tooth in her hand.  She cried for a bit but eventually was thrilled to see that space & the new "grown up tooth" coming through.  So excited.

Yesterday I had an awesome day.  Every year I take my sister to a new town that we can investigate & window shop.  Some times we have to revisit a town because it's just too big to get it all done in a day.  We end our day getting a yummy cup of coffee.  We always pick up something little & sweet.  Seriously!  We go into a shop that usually has something chocolatey & only get 1 or 2 little treats that we share.  It's fun & we feel better for not indulging too much.  Yesterday we were in The Villages.  There are 2 shopping areas & I do believe we went to the smaller one.  Next year we will be back to continue the tour. 

I ended up at our church for our annual Crawfish Boil.  It's alot of fun & I got to listen to my son's band play.  Just an awesome night.

Well, I do hope your weekend was just as lovely.   Leave a comment and let me know what you did this weekend.  What are some special Mother's Day things you did with your family?  I would LOVE to hear!!

Be Blessed & Healthy!!
