You can cube it and add it to Soup. My SIL uses it with veggies to make a meatless stir-fry. I'm sure you can look up recipes online and there will be suddenly lots of ideas for you.

Is it silken or firm? I use firm in my cooking I dry fry it.. And then put it with sauces or eat it plain for a snack. I have a recipe to dry fry around here so where let me find it and paste because I'm too lazy to type it all out again :P

To dry fry,

I cut up my tofu and SLOW fry it with no oil or butter you can use "pam" non stick spray.. on a non stick griddle or you can use a cast Iron pan.

I fry it on a lower heat to get the moisture out and crisp it up. I buy mine at trader joes (extra firm) Also after you dry fry it you can do different things with it...like marinade in anything (it is tasteless so will soak up any flavor) and stir fry with veggies I like it marinaded sometimes but I will also eat it just straight from the fridge cold after dry frying it. I will grab a piece and dip it into hummus too.

So many recipes online, what do you feel like eating? What Flavor profile? just type in "tofu recipe" and "Thai, or Itallian, or Indian or whatever" you can ask for low carb, or no sugar, or low fat", whatever you want to have. Lots will come up.

google sample for "tofu recipe low carb Italian"

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
