"I got this recipe from a local grocery store. It is very simple, and lends itself to many variations and additions. The peanut sauce is nice as-is, but I added some chili-garlic sauce to it to give it some heat. I like my tofu very firm and crisp, so I drained it very very well before putting this together."

Ingredients: cider vinegar, firm tofu...

"A very refreshing ice cream! It really hits the spot on a hot day. If you have leftovers, bear in mind that making the ice cream without oil makes it healthier, but it will freeze harder than your regular ice cream. I usually stick the container in the microwave for about ten seconds so it is soft enough to scoop. Still delicious!"

"I created this recipe in an attempt to make a hummus that my husband would like. He doesn't like the texture of chickpeas.

Since the white beans are mild in flavor, the garbanzo..."
