Fruited Tofu Curry Salad

Fruited Tofu Curry Salad
I made this a while ago and never since. LOL. Just getting around to posting. I must say that I really enjoy curried chicken salad, but also really like tofu. This recipe had nice aspects - grapes, nuts, zing from yogurt, & yummy curry flavor- but I found I had to pan sear the tofu first with garlic and curry powder to get any flavor into it & then with the addition of celery (YUCK) I just couldn't wrap my tastebuds around this one. After the addition of additional dried fruit, I was able to swallow down a bit of it (mostly felt bad abt wasting the food). Too many textures and it almost had a curried cardboard aftertaste. LOL. Just my opinion. Give it a go! You may like it.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
Get your milk glasses ready! This recipe produces really good cookies. I was a bit thrown off by how different the cookies in the photos submitted by other cooks looked, but was looking for a thinner, crisp, but chewy cookie & this is it! I changed the recipe, of course, just from experience in baking & personal preference. SUBSTITUTIONS: 1 cup of organic oatmeal flour (simply ground organic rolled oats in a blender) for one cup of flour. Also, I used 1 Tablespoon of Mexican vanilla instead of 2 teaspoons & I used pecans instead of walnuts. SUGAR CHANGES: 1&1/2 cups brown sugar & 1/2 cup white sugar. The ONLY thing I would change next time is to use bittersweet chocolate chips in place of the semi-sweet & COMPLETELY omit the 1/2 cup of white sugar because I find the cookie product a little sweet. Overall, these cookies are VERY GOOD!!!

Butterscotch Bread Pudding
This is a really fantastic recipe for bread pudding! I brought this to a function 2 nights ago & EVERYONE thought it was the best - one person stated that nothing has compared to her moms, but that this was even better. CHANGES MADE: doubled recipe, halved the amounts of butter and sugar, tossed bread in cinnamon to cover, used extra large eggs (and added one extra), baked in a water bath (bread pudding in a pan nestled in another pan with water in it.) Water bath allowed the pudding to stay moist without needing the extra butter or sugar. GREAT RECIPE!!! Served with cool whip.
