Cajun Tofu & Mac-N-Cheeze

Last night I made Cajun Tofu from Yellow Rose Recipes and Mac-N-Cheeze as featured in an issue of VegNews Magazine. We had green salads and french bread to round out the meal. Perfect food for indulging in America's Next Top Model!!!

This macaroni was amazing! It tasted just like the cafeteria-style restaurant macaroni and cheese that I loved as a little kid, except better!!! It was topped with breadcrumbs and paprika for a little grown-up flair. I would definitely recommend this recipe. It tastes great and cuts out a ton of the fat and cholesterol in traditional mac & cheese. This would be an impressive potluck dish or contribution to a family gathering.

The Cajun Tofu was good, but is still a work in progress. I am experimenting with how to get the taste all the way through tofu when baking or frying it. I loved the Cajun Spice recipe within this recipe for tofu. It makes enough to store in a jar and use again. The tofu was a good texture, and the breading tasted delicious. I think to make this recipe more to my taste, I will cut the tofu into smaller blocks and marinate for a day or two in some vegetable broth and seasonings. The perfect baked tofu...here I come!!!
