Honey Lime Tofu

If you like lime and honey, I would recommend this stir fried tofu. This recipe is adapted from My Kitchen Snippets. Unlike the original recipe, I used tofu instead of tempeh (fermented tofu), used mint instead of curry leaves, added carrot and celery, eliminated the bird eye chilies and as usual omitted the salt. Right now, in Philadelphia, it is very hot and humid and I wanted a light dish for dinner. I didn’t feel like eating a salad, though. The tofu goes well with rice. I had it with brown rice. It makes a nice meal for a spring or summer day.

Tangy Chicken Wings

Some of my friends and I were having a potluck. I wanted to make chicken wings but I want the recipe to be simple, low in sodium, and easy. I finally found a recipe for Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings by Martha Stewart that fitted my criteria; however, I made two adjustments to the original recipe---I used red wine vinegar instead of sherry-wine vinegar and I omitted the salt.  The chicken wings turned out great and had a tangy taste. My friends also liked it. Below is a picture and the recipe.

Cubano Press from Marathon Grill

Marathon Grill is a chain restaurant local to Philadelphia. I had a giftcard to Marathon Grill given to me by my former employer; therefore, I decided to try their Cubano Press sandwich for lunch one day. The sandwich was basically roast pork, coppa, swiss, honey mustard, and pickles on a cuban roll. It was my first time trying a Cubano Press sandwich and I loved it. The meat, cheese, pickles, and honey mustard combination provided a tasty favor (zesty, salty, and sweet). I would totally recommend this sandwich. It makes a great lunch. 

Deee-licious Shrimp Fried Rice

I had some brown rice left over from last night so I decided to make some shrimp fried rice with it.  Check out the picture below.
