This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Tofu is often misunderstood so many don't know how great baked tofu can really be. The key is squeezing out as much liquid as you can before baking to ensure that the soy-infused slices come out nice and crispy.

1 pound block tofu, drained
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or to taste)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Gently press the tofu dry with paper toweling to remove any excess moisture. Slice the tofu into 1/4-inch slices and place the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the soy sauce evenly over each piece of tofu.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until the tofu is golden brown and the edges are beginning to crisp.
Serve warm or chilled. Use in sandwiches, salads, eat plain, or use in other recipes. Store the baked tofu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
