Grilled satay tofu skewers

Weeknight barbecues call easy and delicious eats. For these skewers, most of the work is in the marinade time — the more time the tofu has to soak in the flavour, the better! (We recommend an hour for best results). Serve our Thai basil and cilantro salad and rice on the side to make it a complete meal. Get our grilled satay skewers recipe.

Classic peanut butter cookies

A big part of baking uniform cookies is in the portioning. Use a small ice cream scoop or large measuring spoon for a tray of picture perfect treats.
