I thought it might be interesting to share ideas on things you may prepare in the unconventional way. Like, as you're enjoying it you're thinking, "the chefs of the world would just have a fit if they saw the way I do this, but it sure is yummy!"

For me, my two favorite "unconventional ways" came about before the microwave era, and coming up with ways to warm up left over food. We like the "warmed up" version better, and often just have it that way, rather than the conventional way.

My first thing to share is Brussels sprouts. Steam them as usual. Then cut them in half. Then fry them in butter (the flat "cut" side down in the butter) till they turn just a bit brown. Yum!

Next, is how to "warm up" macaroni and cheese (you know, those boxed Kraft kind). Again, fry it up in bit of butter till the noodles/cheese is just turning brown.

I know, these are pretty big no-no's in today's health concious world. But hey, you don't have to have them every day! And doggone it, it sure tastes yummy!

This may sound strange but if you eat tofu and are looking for something different to do with it.

Tofu on the George Forman Grill

Cut into 1" thick slices. (I like the extra firm). Dry off and coat with a thin layer of butter or olive oil. Add spices to both sides of your tofu steaks so they are "breaded." Place in the George Forman grill for up to 30 minutes. The butter will cook the
coatings onto the tofu, and the grill will press a lot of the excess water out, and will give the tofu a slightly chewy texture. When cooked to your liking pour drippings back, add more butter, steak sauce, or olive oil to rehydrate a bit.
