Is This Bad?
Will I get my Mommy License revoked if I openly admit that I think John Tartaglia of Playhouse Disney's Johnny and the Sprites is a hottie?
Maybe it's because of my background in theater...or the number of theater romances I had (okay, so most of them were in my head), but I think he's a cutie. Oy...my poor husband.
On a less lusty note....
My friend Felicia has inspired me to try getting my protein in ways other than meat. I'm also getting REEEEEAAAAALLLY tired of eating my mother's various combinations of ground beef, rice, kielbasa, and canned chili. Every once in a while she'll throw in a can of spam or canned salmon...and then fries it in an inch of oil. Anyway, one of my all-time favorite recipes is Southwestern Quinoa Salad (forgive the strange look of the website. I'm still working on it). I changed it around a little today and just added salsa to the quinoa, black beans and corn. Then I cut up a veggie burger into little chunks, mixed it all together, slapped it in a taco shell, and voila! A veggie taco! I don't know that I'd serve it to dinner guests, but it was a decent invention. What's funny is that Adriana LOVED it!!!! She ended up eating about an 1/8 of a cup of it—not bad for a child who's been throwing up constantly since Saturday. I'm still working on my tofu skills. They have a lot to be desired.

When you start thinking Steve from Blue's Clues is hot, then I will worry. Or any of the Teletubbies. :)
Tofu is so malleable when it comes to flavor. It's so easy. My 2 fav ways to use it are in pasta sauce & stir frys. The trick is to cube your extra firm tofu then boil it for a few mins - that pushes the water out of it so it can absorb the flavor of whatever you put it in. Oh, and have I mentioned that it's cheaper and leaner than any meat I've ever seen? 99 cents a pound for barely any fat, pure protein. I'm kind of in love with it.
