Ginger curried tofu
A lot of people would like to substitute meat by tofu but think it’s hard to give flavor to it. It is just a matter of habit. In the beginning it was something we had to get used to, now, we even eat it raw, and like it. You can pretty much do anything with … Continue reading
Gluten free chocolate and orange cookie
Gluten-free cookies are very expensive for the amount you get. With four kids, a box of chocolate cookies can be gone before I even mention it. So today I decided to make some so I can have one, and even that, they did not last until the end of the day. At least I can … Continue reading
