Ingredients

  • 14 ounces extra firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • vegetable oil
  • peanut sauce for dipping

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a high walled skillet on medium-high heat, and carefully add the tofu. Cook until golden, 3 to 5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook another 3 to 5 minutes, until golden on each side.
  4. Remove the tofu to a paper towel to draw off excess oil before serving.

Instructions

  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. While butter is melting, whisk eggs with cajun seasoning in a bowl. Pour whisked eggs into pan and scramble until just cooked through. Set aside.

  • In the sauce pan, over low heat, whisk together the remaining butter with Dijon, Worcestershire, everything bagel seasoning, and poppy seeds.  When melted and combined, brush or spoon the butter mixture over the tops of the buns.
  • Bake the sliders in a preheated 350℉ oven until the cheese is melty and the tops are golden brown (10 - 15 minutes).

FRIDAY

Lofthouse Cookies

MamaLovesFood.com (MamaLovesFood.com)

Ingredients

COOKIES:

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 6 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

FROSTING:

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • food coloring optional
  • sprinkles optional

Instructions

  1. Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and the sugar until fluffy (2 - 3 minutes). Add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla and mix until just combined.
  2. Slowly add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing between each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  3. Scoop dough out using a medium-sized cookie scoop (typically a #40) and roll the dough into 2″ balls (you may want to wet your fingers a bit for this). Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on a lined cookie sheet. Use a glass or cup that has been dipped in flour, and flatten each ball of dough to about ¼” thick.
  4. Bake in a preheated 350℉ oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges have *just* started turning a golden brown. Let cool completely.
  5. While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting by mixing the butter and vanilla until creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar while continuing to mix, then add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
  6. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring or flavoring, and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
  7. When cookies are completely cooled, generously spread the frosting evenly over the cookies. Top with sprinkles.
