Cook n Bake Day 1: Lasagna & Veggie Patties

Today I baked both Lasagna and veggie burger patties. I spent no more than 2 hours for both cooking and cleaning. This is the first time I tried Eggplant Lasagna. I combined both the Eggplant Parmesan and Lasagna recipes together to make this dish. Overall it turned out very well. DH (Dear Husband) voted excellent for both the dishes and needless to say I'm very happy.

My hubby is not a great fan of thick burger. I'm fine as long as its healthy and tasty. Last time when I made bean burger, DH asked me to make thin burger instead of thick one. So, I tried thin burger this time.

I really loved these burger patties. They're soft, crispy and very thin. Has all the features that DH mentioned. So, I believe we'll be making these burgers very often. I'll write my burger recipe tomorrow.

This Week's Cook n Bake List

One day monthly baking doesn't work for me. Instead, I prefer baking one week. I'll do one or 2 every day for the whole week. That way, I have plenty of time to do all other works and I won't feel bored by the whole day cooking

I never had time to cook for the past 2 week because of Boston trip and lot of other things after Boston trip. So, we almost emptied the freezer. Now its time to cook&bake.

Below is the list of cooking I'm planning to do this week:
- Cook Pasta and Freeze it ( for easy paste dinner) 3 servings
- Cranberry scones (My husband loves it. I bought 4 packs for Cranberries for $0.99 each from Aldi last week.)
- Cranberry/Blueberry Muffins
- Veggie burger patties (with lot of vegetables and sweet potatoes)
- Hard Pretzel (Its my Husband's favorite. I add different flavors in it and freeze)
- French Bean Casserole (Bought 2 LB french bean for $2.5 in Sams Club last week)
- Pizza dough
- Veggie puff (seasoned veggies in pastry wrap)
- Eggplant Lasagna (Already boiled the noodle sheets.)
- Dosa Dough (Indian Pancake dough)

Healthy Recipe: Quick and Easy Baked Tofu

Though I'm not a fan of Tofu, I try to add it in our meal frequently. Tofu is very healthy (low calories and high protein) and gives enough nutrition to the body. That made me to try new Tofu recipes which don't give Tofu taste.
Here is one of our family favorite recipe. Its an appetizer. But I add it in my casserole for the rich taste.

Baked Tofu

Ingredients:
Firm/Extra firm Tofu
Soy Sauce
Your favorite Sauce for marination
Garlic cloves
Italian Seasoning
Parsley flakes
Paprika
Fresh Lime
Ziploc bag
1 tbl spoon of Yogurt
Salt - to taste
Chili powder - to taste

Procedure:
- Wrap a few paper towels around the Tofu block & gently try to squeeze out as much water as possible.
- Cut the Block into 1.5 inch cubes or rectangles.
- Put all the other ingredients except Lime in a Ziploc bag and mix well
- Add the Tofu in the Ziploc and mix well
- Keep it in the Refrigerator for 1 hour
- Using a baking pan, bake the cubed for 15-25 mins in 400 degree F.
- Take them out and let them cool.
- Squeeze some lemon juice on them and relish.
