Smoky Spice Crusted Tofu

⁽¹⁾

Very simple, quick and easy recipe. Might even coax some non-tofu people to give it a try. The slices are coated with a gentle smoky spice mixture and cooked in a blackened Cajun style to a lightly crispy exterior then finished with a honey lemon glaze. Great color and great flavor to an otherwise humble protein. Try to find smoked paprika if you can or add a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade.

Sausage-Apple Stuffed Squash

This was VERY good. I used 2 large buttercup squash instead. I also included a crumb topping combining 1/3 c. bread crumbs, 1/4 c. Parmesan and 1/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese. I then melted 3 TBS of butter and drizzled it over all. I would give five stars but end result was a bit dry, next time I make it I will try adding butter and brown sugar under meatballs.
