This tastes somewhat like a soy version of "honey ham" that's been sliced up and pan-fried. Using a non-stick pan eliminates the need for added oil, and I use a low-fat extra-firm brand of tofu (President's Choice) to keep the fat to a minimum so that I can tolerate it.
This is a spin on the Spanish party favourite known as Sangria. It marries three kinds of alcohol with berries, citrus fruit and papaya juice!

I spotted this on Tiny Morsels' blog (http://tiny-morsels.blogspot.com/) and knew I had to give it a go. Not having the erythritol or agave that she calls for, and not being able to have coconut, I swapped unsweetened almond milk, honey and brown sugar instead. Makes 6 popsicles.

A tender, 100% whole grain loaf packed full of essential Omega-3 fatty acids from wheat germ, oats, flaxseed, soy, an egg and olive oil. This is a great start to your day, not the least due to the fact that a slice is both it's own cereal bowl and jam!
