Tofu sizzle

Tofu 1-2-3
This recipe requires lots and lots of patience depending on how
golden you want your tofu. So I had a brick package of tofu that
I needed to cook before the due date (Nov23) and there
are soo many tofu dishes out there, but very little ingredients
on me so I decided to just fry it and eat crispy yummy tofu.
Here is what your going to need:

-parsley
-kosher salt
-five cloves of garlic
-half an onion
-lemon pepper

Step One:

slice your ingredients into tiny pieces, take the tofu and cut it how ever you want.
Preferably in cubes





Step Two:
pre heat the pan and pour olive oil, carefully place tofu in the
pan and add garlic after 2 mins then the onion, sizzle till golden,
once golden add kosher salt, lemon pepper and parsley
Step Three:

EAT!!!!!

Local Love: Swirls!



I love cupcakes. I can not even begin to explain how cute and convenient they are. Personally I think its probably one of the best things ever made, who doesn't get happy over a single cupcake! Cupcake bakeries are on a rise and one that I personally love is called Swirls, they serve homemade gelato and various flavoured cupcakes. I first stumbled upon it when I was in highschool a big hang out spot in the summer was Streetsville, we would pop in buy a gelato and take some cupcakes home, and they would ALWAYS be gone by the morning. I have lived in Mississauga for pretty much my whole life, and Swirls is probably one of our best kept secrets. They recently just opened a new location in Etobicoke on 4158 Dundas Street West. So if you're ever in town say Streetsville or live near Etobicoke, pop in and eat a delicious red velvet cupcake (my personal fave).

Eduplate yourselves

I have always wanted to start a food blog, it has been brewing (and i've been craving) for a while now and the final push was taking a course at York called FOOD LAND AND CULTURE. Eating is a universal language..metaphorically speaking of course and like music and art, food is something that brings people together. It is IN our lifestyles, and something we canNOT live without. So this blog is for everyone, and anyone who just loves to eat, be it a meal, a restaurant that you just happened to stumble upon, or a family heirloom recipe, or just saw a funny looking dish/abnormal fruit or baked goods. Just message me and I will gladly place your recipe/findings for everyone to eat, share and enjoy. Oh and I will also place some things myself ;)
