Hey Sister, it's Payback Time!

Ages ago my oldest sister fed me appetizers with bits of shrimp in them as a joke to see if I'd notice. I didn't notice until I saw the package they came from...and then boy did she get in trouble! I've long since forgiven her, but I've never forgotten. Tonight when she decided to come over for dinner I felt it was payback time! She's the biggest meat eater I've ever met....the kind of girl that orders her steak "blue", but not tonight. Tonight she ate tofu! And she went back for seconds!

I made cannelloni stuffed with crumbled tofu, spinach, onions, garlic, walnuts and a wee bit of lemon juice. It was my first time using the oven-ready type, which although convenient, left the sauce tasting a little starchy. That said, I'd definitely make them again. I wish I could find whole wheat cannelloni pasta.I get excited when I'm able to make leftovers into a completely different dish. Here I took the roasted garlic, onions, potatoes and yams I had from Sundays BBQ, pureed them with some stock and spices, and made roasted veggie soup. I'm not sure if I loved it cause it was so easy or because it tasted great. Maybe it was a little of both. Now I'm going to make a point of roasting extra veggies so I can make soup the next day.
