Since getting home from my trip to Virginia late Monday morning I have been exhausted. I did not get much sleep on this trip. Between the drive and the late nights with my family I really did not get my normal restful sleep. I am spoiled I normally get 8 to 9 hours of sleep per night. So this week I have just tried to make up for the lack of sleep by going to bed early and keeping my to-do list short. That is hard to do when I am so totally excited about the Blend Retreat this weekend. The packing for the retreat has been easy, workout cloths, hiking cloths, a cute outfit for dinner and a pair of jeans.
I am like a kid ready for Disney, I can not think straight, I am so excited and I keep obsessing about the trip details.
Pressed for time I kept dinner easy and went with a tofu and noodles dish.
When I bought my Tofu Press it was a game changer, being able to press out all the water tofu is packaged in and them marinate it really made a difference with the end result. Pressing the tofu allows it to then absorb all the flavors in your marinate.
This is my favorite combo, right now. I’m on a tangy lime kick.
I marinated this brick overnight.
Bake on 425 degrees for 25 minutes.
Made a Kung Pao noodle bowl.
Thew on some edamame beans.
Dinner is done. The Kung Pao really has a kick to it. Loved it.
So now I just have to try and keep calm until I fly out to Boulder. I always get crazy excited before every trip, but for some reason this trip has really got me pumped up. I just can not wait to go hiking, have some fun and meet some amazing bloggers.
Question of the Day: What’s your favorite way to make tofu?

Oooh, looks yummy! I’ve seen those tofu presses, but haven’t bit yet. Sounds like a good tool to add! Have fun at Blend!!
It’s my favorite kitchen gadget!
Have a great time at the retreat! I am regretting not signing up for it, but maybe I’ll go next year!
That dinner looks so yummy and easy. The tofu press gadget is the best!
For sure next year!
Looks like a very yummy dish! 😉
My favorite tofu is the old standby…BBQ. A good tofu press makes all the difference, I use the EZ Tofu Press. Its a lot lower in price and does the same job! http://www.eztofupress.com for more info.
Thanks Ben, I will check it out, I’d like to get one for a friend as a gift!
[…] So I paired the salad with grilled tofu and some California Sushi Rolls. I used my basic marinade for the tofu and just grilled it for 7 minutes on each side. I always grill on medium heat. I also used my Tofu press. […]
