Looking for a quick and simple way to prepare tofu? This is it!

Makes one serving for a meal or two servings for a side dish.

I called this lazy tofu because it has become one of my go-to dinners for those nights where you just don't WANT TO COOK!

The easiest tofu pudding EVER! Makes a very thick and creamy pudding, especially if you use milk as the liquid. This recipe uses water as the liquid for lowest possible calorie information; this is how I always make it and it always turns out MARVELOUS.

Tofu is the little black dress of veg proteins. Dress it up, dress it down, grill it up!

This Palak Paneer recipe replaces paneer with extra firm tofu and cream with non-fat yogurt.

These are great in tomato sauce or any other type of sauce. You may want to triple this recipe and freeze some for later.

I read about people taking fish and covering it with salsa and then throwing it in the oven. It sounded really tasty minus the fish, so I thought this simple dish up.

I made this on the fly one day and it was so good for being so easy, I thought I'd tell others about it too. It is low in fat and has a good amount of protein and it tastes yummy!

Tofu and vegetable stir fry served over brown rice.

General Tso's chicken was always my favorite, until I stopped eating meat. This is just as tasty, and so much better for you.
This is great by itself, or served over rice, quinoa, or steamed broccoli.
The celery is optional; it helps bulk up the meal with few added calories.

Really yummy, would be a good breakfast too.

This is the kind of miracle dish that can convert anyone to tofu. The Jamaican "jerk" seasoning is sure-to-please. It's sort of like barbeque and sort of like curry, savory and sweet at the same time. Just make sure you allow plenty of time for the pressing and marinating. The drier the tofu gets before you put it in the marinade, the better. It will soak up more flavor and be nicely chewy.

Don't let the tofu put you off, this tastes wonderful.
You could also add a packet of frozen stir fry vegetables if you wanted a larger vegetable serve.

This is based on a recipe from the Eating Well website, with just a few tweaks

A veggie alternative to scrambled eggs

Tofu haters beware . . . this recipe just might change your mind. The key is to bake the tofu first to make it crispy.

I don't measure when I make things, so I just guessed. This is my favorite

Tofu marinated and baked in a tangy, spicy sauce that is great with any vegetable side dish and rice or other grains. Especially good (and energy efficient) with roasted veggies, which can cook along side the tofu.

Served over brown rice, this recipe is very easy and so very delicious!

A low-cal low-fat dinner where you don't need to feel guilty having seconds! Serves 4
