An Old Favorite

How long as it been since we’ve done a roasted root veggie medley!? Tonight we roasted sweet potato, blue potato and parsnip. (Cut into pieces, rubbed in olive oil and salt and baked for about 45 minutes at 400*, flipped once). I have to admit that I probably ate another 1/3 cup or so straight off the sheet pan!!! I LOOOVE roasted root veggies!

The other half was one of my other favorites: Baked Tofu with Pepperjack Cheese melted on top. Served on a small bed of spinach drizzled in EVOO. I liked the tofu + cheese combo a lot.

After dinner I found my tiny piece of toast that was supposed to accompany the meal burned in the toaster! I took a few bites of him before I threw it out.

I’m pretty full for the second time today. After dinner I cleaned all the floors in the house (which I can do in about 20 minutes with my handy Method Mop, spray bottle of Mrs. Meyers, and vacuum). I’ve got a few things to do to prepare to go out of town tomorrow. If you haven’t heard (read), I’m going to Hillsborough tomorrow for an RDU blog gathering before I leave for Baltimore early Saturday morning with my mom to visit my grandparents in their new home. The husband is staying in Chapel Hill for a small fraternity reunion!

I’ve got Food Science Lab early tomorrow morning from 9-11:30 and because of my travels, I need to get in my visit to the gym beforehand, so the alarm will be set for 5.

Nite 🙂

    I love that you burned your bread b/c I’m notorious for that. But most of all, I love that you still took a few bites, b/c I would have too! haha
    I just flew back from RDU today, too bad it’s a day late – I was there for work this week. It’s -10 in Chicago right now so I should have stayed in Raleigh 😮

    Have fun at the blog meeting!!

    A simple summer for you is very inspiring to me! I really need to get off my butt and learn how to cook tofu how I like it. And I like pepperjack cheese on pretty much EVERYTHING so I think I will use your technique to learn how to enjoy tofu for myself!

    That looks so good, especially the sweet potato. Did you season your veggies with anything other than olive oil and salt? I’m getting into cooking more vegetable dishes, and would love some spice recommendations.

    We all got our baked tofu from Miss Gliding Calm:

    And here’s a BBQ one I did:

    https://www.katheats.com/?page_id=4448

    I don’t always press mine under books. I’ve found it works well either way ,but needs longer cooking if no pressing. I use Firm tofu.

    AshleyH ,
    No, nothing on it, but I should have. Don’t use me as an example!

    Mimi ,
    Nope – just oil and salt, although cajun seasonings and cinnamon seasonings are all wonderful (we were lazy).

    Tofu and cheese together are fantastic! I especially like shredded cheese sprinkled on top of tofu scrambles. With a side of roasted potatoes, please.

    If there’s any time of year to be roasting vegetables, this is it, right? For seasoning, I like McCormick’s Steak Seasoning, which is a nice blend of salt, herbs, and hot spices. But it’s potent, so use with caution!

    When you come to Baltimore this weekend, don’t forget Obama is coming through the city around 4, so they are closing down some parts of the 83 during the day! Have fun!
