Have you ever had a samosa? Considered Indian food, they are little deep fried shells that are filled with a mixture of mashed potato, onion, green peas, spices and green chili. They are usually served with a little sauce on the side as well. They are SO delicious. My friend recommended trying a samosa the first time I ever had Indian food, and I was hooked since then. They are seriously the perfect little appetizer, but unfortunately they aren’t too little (they are kind of large, stuffed triangles), and they fill you up. So while you are eating those, your other food is cooking, ...

Skinny Mushroom Stroganoff
I am going to be honest and tell you right off the bat that I have never actually tried Beef Stroganoff. It wasn't a meal that was ever cooked for me, and the only time I have ever seen someone eat it was while I was on vacation in Russia (it’s quite popular over there)…but it didn't really appeal to me.

If you answered yes, we are on the same page, if you said no, ...

However, since I became a vegetarian, I realized that this soup is actually made with a beef broth base (no!!), and although I may have had it a few times since becoming a veggie (give me a break!), I wanted to find a way to make it using a vegetable base. Turns out making it with vegetable broth is just as delicious, as long as you give the onions the time it takes to carmalize and brown. I also decided to lighten it up a bit, and make it into a super low calorie meal. Adding ...
Easy Baked Tofu
Even before I became a vegetarian, I loved tofu....especially when it's fried, crispy, covered in sauce and in Chinese food. Who doesn't like that? But, since learning to cook with it more, I have found different techniques to mock frying the tofu, and still being able to get a nice crispy outside, without all the bad points of frying. In a different post I talked about 'dry frying' tofu, which is really handy and easy, but it can sometimes be time consuming. So when I stumbled upon a baked tofu recipe on All Recipes, I thought I hit the jackpot. With ...
