I WON!

67

Do you remember – way back in February – when I entered my Thai Tofu Pizza in a recipe contest, crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best?!

I flipping WON.

It’s true!!! I won the Nasoya Tofu Recipe Contest!! I got an email last month telling me that my Thai Tofu Pizza had been selected as the grand prize winner, and I’m all – exsqueeeze me? I never win anything, you see, and I’m pretty sure I squealed audibly when I read it. Ahhh!!

A lot of you asked for the recipe the first time I made it, and now I’m able to share – whee!

Thai Tofu Pizza

Ingredients:

1 12″ pre-made pizza crust (or homemade)

2 Tablespoons chopped peanuts

1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro

Peanut Sauce:

3 Tablespoons smooth peanut butter

1 Tablespoon rice vinegar

1 Tablespoon soy sauce

I love this pizza!!!!

DSC_0042

I sliced mine into 6 big slices and chowed. down!

DSC_0047

This tastes just like Pad Thai…on a pizza crust!

DSC_0048 

Like I said last time – the sesame-soy-peanut sauce base is absolutely incredible with the sweet mango. It’s perfect for you sweet & savory lovers out there. :)

DSC_0054

You could totally make this with chicken, pork – or even shrimp! That would actually be SUPER good!

DSC_0056

CHOMP! :D Thanks, Nasoya, for picking my pizza!

Dessert tonight shall be one of these Dark Chocolate Almond Chewy Granola Bars that MyBlogSpark and Cascadian Farm sent me to try out!  

DSC_0032

The nutritionals are dece – especially when it’s basically a dessert bar.

DSC_0034

DSC_0035

And a GOOD dessert bar, at that! I don’t usually buy granola bars (and probably still won’t after this) because I always eat them too fast, but if I were in the habit of buying them – these would definitely make my grocery list!

DSC_0037

They’re super chewy, thick and GOOEY! And CHOCOLATEY!! Really good!

DSC_0039

Ugh, before dinner tonight I went on a 3 mile run and thought it’d be fun to go as fast as I could. I won’t lie to you – it was awful! So hard! However, here I sit, an hour later, no worse for the wear. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again – running is 90% mental. If you think you can’t, you won’t. But most likely, you can!

Oh, I also tried the Power Vinyasa Flow #4 yoga class on YogaDownload.com today. I didn’t like it as much as the Power Vinyasa Flow #2 class I tried last week. I think I might – gulp – loosen the purse strings and actually BUY the 40 minute class! Up until now, my stingy self has been hogging all the free 20 minute downloads I can! ;)

Off to do some stuff before Gossip Girl comes on. I missed last week – can anyone fill me in on what happened?!

Goodnight!

    Hurray for you! I am glad you won and I am definitely going to make this yummy looking pizza. Thanks for printing the recipe. Thanks for making me smile.

    Congrats!!!! The pizza looks so good. I love thai food, I would love to make this (although I might have to modify it for the carb content). Seriously though it looks amazing.

    As far as winning anything, I won an essay contest in 7th grade that gave my family and I an all expense paid trip to Boston (it was a history related contest)

    But I would love to win some kind of cooking contest.

    Congrats again!

    Of course you won! This pizza is incredible! I made it a few weeks ago and almost fell off my chair from pure bliss. Amazing girl, congrats! :)

    I couldn’t agree more, running IS 90% mental. It always takes me a mile or two to actually get into it. The first mile I always seem to say to myself, “what am I doing, I don’t want to do this.” but after my endorphins kick in, I actually LOVE it! Running is a love/hate relationship and i just pray that most days, I love it more than hate it. :)

    Have a gerat night.
