My New Ebay Store


Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment to write and say I'm sorry I haven't been here on my blog lately. A lot of crazy stuff has been happening. We've been working hard and dealing with a lot of personal issues around here that have taken every ounce of emotional strength.

I will be posting some new recipes of things I have done as well as things I am selling!

I just opened my BRAND NEW EBAY STORE and I am really excited about it. My best friend and I are in the Entrepreneurship program at college and I really wanted to try my hand at selling some things that I find useful, LOL.

Here's the addy if anyone wants to check it out!

A Bit About Me & Tofu

Well, I guess I don't know how to describe myself or what I'm about. I absolutely adore the culinary world. I used to go to Le Cordon Bleu recently, but they really suck (that's another story tho, haha) So, I don't know if I'm going to blog about food or life itself. I guess, we'll see, eh ? Also, I'm not a vegetarian or vegan but I'm trying to lose some weight and figured walking a bit every day and replacing meat with tofu is worth a try haha.... : ) Here's my first try.....

It actually tasted pretty f-in Good. The recipe I will post as soon as it gets on Food.com because that has all the nutritional info. The ingredients include tofu, broccoli, onion, sesame oil, cilantro, veggie broth... and some other things that will be in the reicpe. I think that for one of my first ventures it tofu it turned out pretty diving. Hahahahaha.. as for the rest of my day... don't even get me started...


Here's the recipe everyone!


  • 1 red onion (small or large depending on what you like)

  • 8 ounces frozen broccoli

  •   1/2 (8 ounce) box firm tofu (pressed for about 15 mins)

  •   1/2 (8 ounce) can vegetable broth

  • sesame oil

  • adobo seasoning (if you don't have that you can use onion powder or whatever you have on hand)

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (more or less depending on your tastes buds)

  • garlic rice wine vinegar (splash)

  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter

  • 1 tablespoon fat free cream cheese

  • cilantro (fresh or dried to taste)


    1. 1 Pour Broccoli, and onion into saute pan with olive oil to moisten. Saute on medium and start marination your tofu,
    2. 2 For tofu pour rice wine vinegar,soy sauce and sesame oil to taste. (Some like it stronger than I do) Let your tofu marinate while your veggies cook down. I like chunks of onion so mine takes longer.
    3. 3 Once they are translucent add half a can of vegetable broth.Your tofu should be ready to be added so cut it cubes and throw it inches Now let that simmer/reduce until you have about half the broth left. Now add your spices, pb, and cream cheese. Now let that simmer until it appears to have a creamy consistency.
