Crispy Baked Tofu
Recipe by Camille Panaro Each time I prepare and serve tofu, I’m always surprised by how much my family likes it. I still laugh when I hear my sons get excited about tofu for dinner! I didn’t grow up eating this protein. Tofu wasn’t exactly a staple in an Italian household from upstate New York! I became acquainted with tofu when my sister, a long-time vegetarian, started serving this delicious meat substitute at her family gatherings. She would always season her dishes with something different, often trying out different herbs and spices.

Quinoa with Roasted Vegetables
Recipe by Camille Panaro I have always liked quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) well before it made its debut into every grocery store chain in North America. It’s slightly nutty flavor, combined with a soft, fluffy texture adds to the appeal of this versatile seed. It is also free from gluten which allows me to cater to different dietary preferences when entertaining friends and family. Originally from South America, Quinoa crops are now found in many places worldwide. Often referred to as a grain, this super-food has a balanced amino acid profile, plenty of fiber, and vitamins and minerals.
