Tofu
Tofu is so versatile as a vegetarian protein substitute. It’s like a blank canvas. Soft in a soup, it melts in your mouth. Marinated and deep-fried or grilled, it serves as a good meat substitute. Dehydrated and marinated, it can be converted to jerky. We grill it with seasoning and eat it every morning for breakfast as a egg substitute. We always have several blocks available in our refrigerator ready for use. Sharing some of our best tofu recipes so you can enjoy tofu as much as we do!
