What a great long weekend we had with Matt’s brother, his wife and our awesome 5 year old nephew!
Along with Matt’s Dallas aunt, she hosted a day of fun at the Dallas World Aquarium. She hired a driver to take us in style and, after seeing the crazy St Patty’s Day traffic in our neighborhood, I am so glad I didn’t have to drive in that! Many thanks to her.
We spent a ton of time together, and we are so glad they came to Texas for a few days.
Here is a quick meal that was too easy and too tasty not to share with you:
<\/a>
<\/span>
Sesame-crusted Tofu Stirfry<\/span>
(30 min cooking and prep time!)<\/p>\n

12 oz package of tofu, rinsed and patted dry
1\/2 cucumber, sliced into small bites
16 oz package of frozen stirfry veggie mix
1 TB sesame oil
2 TB olive oil
3 TB sesame seeds
Dash each of: salt, ginger, red pepper flakes
1\/4 soy sauce
1\/4 cup cornmeal or breadcrumbs <\/p>\n

1: cut tofu into 12 small triangles. In a nonstick skillet\/wok on med-high, drizzle in the 2 oils and 1 TB soy sauce. Place the tofu in the pan as one layer. Sprinkle 1\/2 of the sesame seeds in and 2 TB of cornmeal and let cook for 4 min.<\/p>\n

2: in a pot, add 1\/4 cup of water and the cucumber pieces. Let cook for a few minutes, then add the frozen stirfry mix. Add a dash of salt, ginger, and red pepper flakes (optional). Cover and let cook on med high for 5-7 minutes or until fully heated and bright in color.<\/p>\n

3: in the meantime, flip the tofu triangles and add the remaining sesame seeds and cornmeal. Let cook for 4 more minutes or until crust forms around the edges. <\/p>\n

4: stir the soy sauce into the veggies and serve over rice (optional). Add a dash of dried fennel for a tasty twist to the veggies.<\/p>\n

Eat!<\/p>\n
