WHAT I THOUGHT OF LAST WEEK'S NEW RECIPES (see the post here)

Sunrise Citrus Tofu Cubes - Tasted so much like French toast it kind of blew my mind!

Polynesian Salad with Pineapple Vinaigrette - A great combo of flavors; would probably make again but not a favorite

Bacon & Brussels Sprouts Salad - I was really surprised at how delicious this was. I didn't make the dressing in the recipe but used creamy Balsamic and just drizzled it on until it was barely moist. I also added sunflower seeds.

Chicken Meatballs with Chipotle-Honey Sauce - I loved the meatballs but wasn't real crazy about the sauce. 

Ginger Shrimp & Broccoli Stirfry - So so so so good! Definitely a keeper. The ginger really kicks this up to a new level of awesome. (I planned to serve this with Cauliflower Fried "Rice" but discovered my cauliflower had gone bad. It was a filling meal without it, though.)

Indonesian Ginger Chicken - I used the sauce to marinade boneless chicken breasts and then tossed them in a salad with lots of veggies and a simple orange-ginger vinaigrette. Very delicious! 

Peanut Butter Cookie Hummus - OMG! It smells and tastes just like cookies. I wanted to grab a spoon and eat the whole bowlful. This is going into the regular rotation.
