Look what I just got in my email! A "fake" aioli from Cooking Light, very healthy, low fat, low calorie. What does it taste like? Darned if I know, but I'm one of those odd people who actually LIKE tofu..... Lemon Soy Aioli Here, we've puréed tofu for a low-fat, nutritious take on the traditional garlic mayonnaise. Use the leftovers as a sandwich spread.

I haven't made these but they sound very good and easy too. Melt In Your Mouth Doughnuts (Made With Canned Biscuits!) 1 ten count can Texas style doughnuts (or your preference, just not flaky layers) 1 Cup Sugar 1 1/2 T cinnamon 1 stick margarine, melted Vegetable Oil For Frying Pour oil into skillet to the depth of a little less than 1/2 an inch and heat on medium to medium high for about five minutes. In a bowl, melt margarine. In a separate bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar. Using a plastic bottle cap, cut the center out of each biscuit. Drop dough into hot oil, watching carefully and turning when golden. Once doughnuts are golden on both sides, remove to paper towel lined plate. Repeat until all dough is cooked, including doughnut holes. Dip both sides of each doughnut into melted margarine, then press both sides into cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm. Quick and Easy Jelly Filled Doughnuts 1 can biscuits (make sure you don't get the flaky layers type) 1 can store bought frosting (vanilla, so you can tint it) Vegetable oil Jam, jelly, or preserves Sprinkles Pour oil to a depth of about 1/2 " in a large skillet. Heat on medium to medium high for several minutes, until oil is good and hot. Drop biscuits into oil and turn when they brown, this will happen very quickly. After they are browned on both sides, remove to paper towel lined plate. Place jam into bag equipped with icing tip. You can also use a syringe or just use the jelly bottle (if you got the squeeze variety). Stick the tip into a doughnut and gently squeeze. Repeat with all doughnuts. Place 1/2 can of frosting into bowl and add a few drops of your favorite food coloring. Stir well. Heat in microwave for about thirty to forty five seconds, to make a glaze. Dip the top of each doughnut into the glaze and set aside to dry. Top with sprinkles.
