You spend at least one-third of your entire life sleeping. That is why it’s essential that you invest in a good quality bed, or better yet, a luxurious one.

BBQ tofu can be delicious when done well. This recipe takes several factors into account that will guarantee your tofu is packed full of flavor.
The best tofu to use is extra-firm and to press it thoroughly to remove any moisture inside. The firmer the tofu, the better it will stand up to the grill.
In addition, you’ll want to preheat the grill and oil the grates. Tofu doesn’t have as much fat as most meats and can stick to the grill without the oil.
We’ve included a recipe for barbecue sauce here, though you can change your tofu’s flavor by using the same technique with a different marinade or sauce (see FAQs).

My family absolutely loves homemade pizza night. Although the dish itself is virtually effortless, we like to make a whole evening of it, with bowls of every topping you can think of and lots of floury fingers as we each build our own… Then we have a tasting competition to see who’s flavor combinations are the best! We’ve made some truly tasty (and pretty disastrous yet funny) pizzas this way. No two are ever the same, and that just adds to the fun!

It is definitely a place where we spent the most time together.
