A delicious way with vegetables. We didn't have tomatoes, so used extra zucchini and a whole red pepper for bulk and colour. Just so you know -- zucchini cooked this way is divine. Overall, though, it might be best to cook these in the oven. On the BBQ, the tofu kept trying to escape. My photos show before and after the cooking. Made and enjoyed for the Let's Get Skewered Tag Game in the Asian Forum.

Update: We've moved back to the states, and are experiencing the joys of living in Wenatchee, WA for the first time! I'm spending most of my time in the kitchen canning, freezing, and drying fruit now and loving it!
We are a couple, Jason and Mollie, that loves to cook together. We have two wonderful DD's, Enjoli (9) and Emily (7) that make life so much more fun! I, Mollie, studied Nutrition so I try to make most of our meals healthy while still tasting great! Our girls love helping us cook...and eat! We're vegetarian and love eating healthy without missing any flavor! We try to eat mostly vegan, so we have many vegan recipes posted. We are world traveling missionaries and students that have visited many countries and have lived in the States, South Korea, and are currently in the Philippines. So we always need to adjust our menu based on the food available. Zaar has been a tremendous help!
