Reviews

I love this Quinoa and Smoked Tofu Salad, I bought 1 package smoked tofu a couple weeks ago, then found this recipe, it is really delicious, I added some basil instead of the mint, and I bought some purple bell pepper last Saturday, so I used purple pepper, they are awesome.

Crusty Cuban

I just got a breadmaker, without a manual, and I have never used one of these things in my life! Being new at this, I chose this recipe (as my first effort) for its simplicity of ingredients. The bread came out so true to its name - wonderfully crusty and very tasty! A huge thanks to the person who posted this recipe!
