Hodgepodge

Still noshing on snacks from my Earthfare adventure, but tonight's was a little less...put together. And by that, I mean NOT at all.

Hodgson Mill has THE.BEST box macaroni ever period. Don't ask me why we're having snack and cheese with tofu and peppers, but that's what was requested. Thankfully I like HM's flavor and consistency enough to not have to add ketchup, because that really would not have gone.

And YJDKIY found this promising EXTRA EXTRA firm fine herb tofu from Twin Oaks. This is the best tofu texture out of the package that I've ever seen. I baked it on a lightly Pam'd cookie sheet for 30 minutes at 375. Bonus, it's made within a day's drive from The Avenue!

Since I was expecting the flavor to be pretty mild, and wasn't planning to add any seasoning in order to keep sodium to a minimum in anticipation of tomorrow's dinner, AND because we need some veggies here, I sauted some carrots, red and yellow pepper, green beans and red onion in olive oil. The world is clearly about to end because somehow YJDKIY kitchen is out of fresh garlic.

So, while none of this really went together, it was all good individually!
