Thanks to everyone who participated in our wedding! We had a wonderful time, and hope that all who attended did as well. We had several requests for recipes of the veggie options at the wedding dinner - so here they are (thanks to my mom - Evie - and my sister-in-law - Aimee)!!

2. Coat tofu slices in egg & bread crumbs; put on oiled cookie sheet and broil ~8 minutes per side
3. Layer a little pasta sauce in baking dish, then 1/2 cutlets, then sauce, then 1/2 cheese

shredded cheese to top

2. Meanwhile, in large skillet-- cook onion in butter over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice, brown sugar, sage, ketchup, salt, & pepper. Add beans & stir to coat.
3. Cover & simmer over medium heat 10 minutes until heated through.
4. Serve over rice & top with cheese

ENJOY!

What a great time and a beautiful couple you two make! You can also make the tofu cutlets in a single layer on a baking sheet ( updated this on my recipe blog). Thanks for the fun weekend!
