Tofu in Nut Butter Sauce Makes a Fast & Fresh Vegetarian Meal
Chances are you've spent the past week trying to eat healthy. To encourage you to continue down this path, I thought I'd share my favorite tofu recipe. It's a simple pan-fried tofu with a rich, flavorful, Asian-inspired sauce.
Name That Dish!
Some people hate it, and others may stress over it, but I love this flavorful sauce on virtually everything in my Thanksgiving meal. Do you know what it's called?
Definition: Ponzu
Ponzu
A citrus-based dressing or dipping sauce that is common in Japanese food. Thin in consistency and brown in color, this substance is made by boiling mirin, rice vinegar, fish flakes, and seaweed over heat. The liquid is then strained and mixed with yuzu juice.
Taste Test: La Famiglia DelGrosso Pasta Sauce
Since it's easy to prepare and so versatile, I cook pasta at least once a week. Lately, I've been experimenting with various sauces and pasta shapes to see how the factors make a difference in taste, so I gave La Famiglia DelGrosso a try.
I sampled three of eight different sauces, all of which have kitschy titles named after family members.
A Condiment Worth Making: New Orleans Rémoulade
I adore shrimp, especially in the Summer, but ordinary cocktail sauce doesn't always do it justice. New Orleans rémoulade, on the other hand, has a bold flavor that transforms simple boiled shrimp into an impressive standalone meal.
Most people are familiar with the French version of rémoulade, a mayonnaise-based sauce made with Dijon mustard and capers.

Rémoulade
A classic condiment used in French and Cajun cooking, rémoulade is a tangy, mayonnaise-based sauce made with Dijon mustard and capers. Other ingredients, including anchovies and tarragon, are often added as twists on the traditional recipe. Rémoulade sauce frequently accompanies seafood dishes such as pan-fried fish and salmon croquettes.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Linguine and Tuna with Spicy Orange Sauce
Although you may not think of canned tuna as a ingredient to use in pasta, I highly recommend you give it a try. Flavorful chunks of meaty packed-in-olive-oil tuna work best for this healthy, midweek meal. The greens and whole wheat pasta are lightly coated with a fragrant sauce before being topped with tuna.
Which BBQ Sauce Would You Choose?
A few weeks ago, my sister and I found ourselves at a Buffalo Wild Wings — how had I never heard of this chain before? — contemplating their multitude of bbq sauces. They have 14 different kinds to choose from and eventually we settled on Mango Habanero (which was absolutely delicious) and Spicy Garlic.
Yummy Link: Horseradish Sauce
In my household, condiments are king. We're always looking for something to pair with sandwiches, meats, bbq, etc. However, we rarely make our own.
Yummy Link: Baileys Raspberries
Berries + Booze = Fantastic Dessert Topping.
I don't need a pocket calculator to tell me that equation is correct. This thick raspberry Baileys sauce can be eaten plain, on top of ice cream, pound cake, etc.
