I'm new to the tofu world. I'm less than excited to try it but it's high in Protein and I need to suck it up and try it. Does anyone know where I can find some good tofu recipes?

I'm not too creative when it comes to tofu, but my favorite (and incredibly fast/easy) tofu recipe:

1 can diced tomatoes with chilis

1 package light ultra firm tofu

Throw both in skillet until all of the Tomato juices are absorbed into the tofu and it gets a little crispy on the edges.

If you like spicy, its flavorful with a little kick. It's very filling, and tastes great reheated as well.

Hopefully others have more creative recipes!

Good luck

Many stir-fry type recipes that call for chicken are easy to sub tofu. I prefer extra-firm, cut into slices, pressed with paper towels to remove extra Water, then cube and use as chicken. I so order most Asian dishes when O go out with tofu--I've found my pouch tolerates it far better than chicken.

You can get a lot of recipes on line. Tofu will absorb any flavor put to it. I like Asian stir fry veg with cubed tofu and a soy sauce, garlic crushed, Fresh ginger grated. Just make sure you squeeze out the Water out of the tofu. You can add a little truvia to the marinade to add a little sweetness Just a little.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
