Husband-Approved Gems From Our Kitchen

Hello, and welcome to Roubos' Rubies, a recipe-infused blog of delicious proportions! I'm Mrs. R, and though by trade I work in education, I love to cook and find new recipes, and my husband Dr. Bugs (and occasionally two tabby cats, M and J), loves to eat them! I got the idea to start this blog when the requests for some of my recipes became too overwhelming to keep up with, so I decided I would start putting them all in one place for everyone to enjoy! The title, Roubos' Rubies, came from a good friend of mine, and was agreed upon by another. My mother thought I should call it "The Recipes My Mother Never Cooked," since she would burn boiling water, but I decided to be nice :)

So please, feel free to use these recipes, give them to your friends (or just link them!) and comment on your favorites! There will also be other food-related discussions posted here, not just recipes, so check back often!









Happy Reading, and Happy Eating!








Love,
Team Roubos

Tofu Parmesan

Okay, it sounds weird. But it's delish! The thing with tofu is you have to let it drain on paper towels REALLY well, or it'll be soggy and nasty. Even my husband, who is not a tofu, fan, will eat this!

Still need to get you guys the recipe for the vegetarian bean cassoulet, pancakes, and uhh banana creme pie? I haven't made that last one yet. Also this week--stuffed butternut squash!

Tofu Parmesan

1 package extra-firm tofu (you may not use the whole package)
1 egg, beaten
bread crumbs
pasta sauce (any variety)
mozzerella cheese
Pasta

1. Cut tofu how you please (it comes in kind of a square-rectangle--I like to cut it so that I still have wide, but thinner, pieces, but you can cut it into long rectangular chunks too. DRAIN tofu you are using on paper towels (takes about an hour, changing out the paper towels every so often). Store what you are not using in a container with water.
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a baking dish by spreading a little pasta sauce over the bottom (keeps stuff from sticking).
3. Heat nonstick spray in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Dip the tofu in egg, then in the breadcrumbs. Put in the skillet and cook on both sides until crisp.
5. Place in the baking dish. Cover with sauce and cheese to your liking. Bake 15-20mins.
6. Serve over pasta.
