I originally used this blog to share healthy recipes that I made while receiving foodstamps as an Americorps*VISTA. Now, I am a VISTA alum and a full-time grad student working two jobs. I no longer qualify for foodstamps, but I am still on a very tight food budget. I use this blog to share recipes, voice my opinions on being healthy, and share how much I spend at the grocery store every week on food.

Recipe: Teriyaki Tofu Salad
I recently discovered a packet of simply asia teriyaki marinade in the back of my pantry. Naturally, I felt an urge to put it to good use! I've been feeling the urge to make more tofu-based dishes lately, so I marinated some extra-firm tofu in the marinade, then lightly pan-fried. I then combined the tofu with some baby spinach, chopped carrots, red bell pepper, and cucumber to create an asian-esque salad. I topped the salad with balsamic vinaigrette.
Funny - I was casting about for something for lunch yesterday and did something slightly similar: I made a tofu wrap. The difference is that I made a spread by whipping the tofu with miso paste and some tahini, which gave it terrific flavor.
