Baked Tofu

No-oil method for turning bland tofu into flavorful slices of umami goodness. I love how this method takes all the jiggle out of tofu, too. The slices are great on sandwiches, or you can cut the slices up and use the pieces for bowls, stir-fries, fajitas, and the list goes on.

Some dishes are just homey and good. Scalloped corn, like its close relation scalloped potatoes, is one of them. Blended cashews made into a white sauce provide an excellent substitute for a traditional dairy-based white sauce.
