Link to A Fresh Tofu Adventure: How to Make Homemade Tofu

Last week, I came across some great vegan blogs. After a couple months on an almost meatless diet, Joe and I have never felt better. I even started going to the track at the Y to run. If you know me, you might be laughing your head off. I am not a runner. I love my spin class, but I am just too pale and lanky to be one of those "runner chicks." After we spent the latter part of the summer grilling mushrooms and salmon on the grill instead of burgers (and not...

I haven't made a white wine cream sauce in a long while. Last night, I just had to have it. One reason was that I kept thinking about the steamed crabs sitting in my frig. I like to go with the Publix grocery specials, so when the crabs were $4 off, I had to do it. HAD TO.

After I got real into them, I started researching, and beurre blanc recipes popped...
