Israeli Couscous with Tofu Dinner

I made some Israeli Couscous with finely chopped parsley.

Sauteed the tofu with baby corn. (I let the tofu marinate all day in a teriyaki marinade)

Turn off the heat and toss in fresh baby spinach. Stir a few times till spinach is slightly wilted.

Throw together on a plate and sprinkle with toasted sunflower seeds. Viola!

Cucumber Cosmos!

Sorry for the stock photo. I let a friend of mine borrow my camera for a few weeks and I'm starting to realize how much I miss it. (And how often I take pictures of food and drinks). Anyways, I googled some photos and also found some recipes online, but nothing was like mine, so here's my recipe:

1/4 cucumber (sliced into chunks and muddled)
1 shot of Orange vodka (or Cointreau if your splurging)
1 shot of Lemon vodka
a heavy splash of white-cranberry juice (I kind of eyeball it - just enough to make it sweet, but not too sweet)
Put into a shaker with ice and sha- sha- sha- shake it!
Strain out into chilled martini glasses.

It's refreshing and delicious and a great spin on a classic cosmopolitan!
