Baked Tofu with a Little Something-Something

on April 24, 2009

I pretty much put every fruit I could think of into the Excalibur Dehydrator this afternoon. Below are strawberries, apples, pineapples, and plums.

And here are kiwi slices and bananas. Yum!

It takes hours for stuff to dehydrate, so I’ll check on everything in the morning.

In other news (man, I’ve been getting some FUN packages lately!), the lovely Ashley heard about my Bad Habit Smackdown Challenge and sent me this:

Inspired by Heather, I’m trying to break one of my worst bad habits this month — poor dental care! I’m proud to say that I’ve flossed two times a day EVERYDAY since instituting the challenge on April 14! And Ashley‘s present will make it that much more fun! 🙂

Dinner was GREAT!

I made a variation on my Perfect Baked Tofu and added roasted whole cashews. The sweetness of the maple syrup and the cashews complemented each other so well.

On the side, I had brown rice with steamed veggies.

Plus, watermelon for dessert.

I’m off to spend time with the Hubs! Goodnight and HAPPY FRIDAY!

Just curious, does the food dehydrator tell you in the booklet how much energy it consumes? Ive always wondered how much energy they save.

Dehydrator!! I am very tempted…haha.

have a good time with the husband!

I hope the fruit turns out well! I stole my sister’s dehydrator (not a fancy Excalibur model though!), and it makes the best apple slices!

Yay for packages! I get excited every time I receive one. 🙂

I just got honey today! I’ve actually never bought it as we never had it in the house growing up, but my fiance picked some up for sandwiches. Now I’ll have to try the tofu!
Melissa @ For the Love of Health April 24, 2009, 9:14 pm
I have seen that dehydrator on a few blogs now! Perhaps I need one? haha
That dinner looks very very good! Now I am craving cashews!

Can’t wait to see how your dehydrator foods come out! And your tofu recipe…just checking it out now, it DOES look perfect 🙂
Sarah April 25, 2009, 4:38 am
I totally need to try that tofu recipe out! I’ve been trying and failing to make a good baked tofu, so this will be my next attempt. 🙂
Leanne April 25, 2009, 4:52 am
yum! I can’t wait to see what comes out of the dehydrator… I love dried fruit!
Jordan April 25, 2009, 5:58 am
I just got my teeth cleaned yesterday and so now I’m being a freakkkkk about dental care. I was lazy about it before, but I can’t believe the difference after getting them cleaned!

That dinner looks incredible! Have fun dehydrating – I bet the fruit turns out stupendous 🙂

ellie April 25, 2009, 8:25 am
the dehydraters sound great- I am tempted to get one. Tofu looks delicious! I cooked some for the first time last week and now looking to experiment!
