My New Love!

I have a new love in my life.  I never dreamed I would be tempted to have a liaison such as this.  Okay, I need to get this situation out in the open and move on.  I really do love tofu.  I didn't mean for this to happen.  I don't even know what drew me to tofu.  I guess I was looking at plant based recipes, and the tofu thing kept popping up.  I would read the enthusiastic reviews and think, "Really?  Are you guys kidding me?"  I have heard tofu jokes all my life. 

I love everything about tofu.  I love the relatively low cost of it.  I love that you can buy it and keep it in the fridge for those times when a meal needs to be placed on the table, and my husband and I are looking at each other wondering how that is going to happen on this particular night.  I love that I can sauté it in a pan for 10 minutes, throw in some veggies, and have a meal. 

Since I am just beginning on this plant based journey, I tend to use an actual recipe for the tofu.  We have used some great recipes.  I will get around to posting some of them soon.  I usually change the recipes at least a bit to suit our tastes.  I tell myself when I try a recipe for the first time that I will not change the recipe until I have made it at least once, but then I usually cave in and do some editing on the recipe.  It is a weakness of mine, always wanting to tweak things and sometimes completely obliterating the original recipe and going off on my own.  As I get the recipes worked out to my satisfaction, I will definitely post some of them. 

If you haven't already, try some tofu!  You just might be surprised.
