    Make citrus glazed tofu:
    Ingredients:
    1 block of firm tofu, sliced into large cubes
    marinade:
    2 Tbsp tamari
    1/2 cup fresh citrus juice
    1 1/2 Tbsp maple or agave syrup
    pepper to taste
    Directions:

    Marinate tofu in liquid for at least 5 minutes. Add a splash of veggie oil to saute pan (I use safflower oil.) High heat. Wait until oil is hot, then add tofu. Cook on each side of cube for about 1 minute. Allow a nice sear to form. About half-way through cooking, reduce heat and add the leftover liquid from the marinade. Continue to cook until the liquid has absorbed or cooked off. Turn off heat, allow tofu to sit for at least 5 minutes before plating.

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
