Citrus BBQ Tofu

This one takes an adventurous spirit, but the marinade is absolutely delicious.

1 14-ounce package of extra-firm tofu, cut into 8 or 9 slices
juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 1/2 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
dash of black pepper
Whisk all the ingredients but the tofu in a bowl to make the marinade.

Put the tofu slices in a flat dish and pour over the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.

Turn the grill on medium heat and brush lightly with some olive oil. Grill the tofu slices, brushing with extra marinade while cooking, about 5 minutes for each side. Tastes fantastic with grilled sweet potatoes.

Adam's Campfire Eclairs

I tried Adam's campfire Eclairs. I like em'.
I got some 4 foot dowels at Home Depot.
I wrapped the Cresent Roll around the stick and roasted it.

They come 'off the stick' much better if you spray a little
Pam on the stick before you roast it.




I filled it with whipped cream first, but found that the warm
cresent roll melted the cream before I was ready to eat it.



On eclairs I made after this one I put the chocolate frosting
on the outside first, and then filled it with cream.
That seemed to work much better.




Good eatin' Good fun
