Week Wrap-up

I haven't looked forward to a friday in a long time! Like I said in one of my previous posts, since I'm in school the work is non-stop. The weekend is normally not an actual break from the monotony of the week.  This week seemed rough though. It wasn't anything particularly terrible or different than the norm, actually I had less work due this week than I have had in a while. I think it's just that point in the semester when you're just over it all and the light at the end of the tunnel still seems so far away. Regardless of how shitty I felt about getting through this week, I still accomplished everything that I had set out to do, which I think makes this Friday more of a relief. I am done. I feel accomplished and ready to take a break. I went to the gym every single day this week and even took the plunge and headed back to my old Kickboxing gym to crank my workouts up a notch. I fulfilled the yummy recipe I posted about on Monday (pictures to come), and I have been delagent about carving out time for some other financial endeavors I have been working on. I have been one busy little lady. So all in all this Friday and weekend is going to be good, and unlike the rest of this year, I hope that it doesn't fly by.

All the ingredients I used for the Coconut Tofu w/ Spicy sauce. I substituted coconut almond milk for regular almond milk because it's my favorite kind and the meal was coconut flavored anyway. I also went with gluten free bread crumbs which I think make things slightly crispier which I actually liked. 

Here's what the tofu looked like after it was bathed in flour, egg, almond coconut milk and the breading which consisted of the gluten free crumbs, coconut flakes and salt and pepper to taste. I also decided to use coconut oil instead of the recommended vegetable oil. I think coconut oil is just healthier and again... coconut tofu so why not right?

My kitchen smelled amazing while this was frying and it was so easy to do, I think it was like 10-15 min tops. Ugh I just love coconut!!

While that was frying, I whipped up the spicy sauce which was bomb!! I actually made a bit too much and used it to dip other foods into it later. I will definitely be making this sauce again, it's only three ingredients!! 

The finished product! This came out so much better than I expected, mainly because I'm not the greatest cook and I've never made tofu. I will for sure be making this recipe again. I even got my skeptic boyfriend to try it and he thought it was really good too!
