I’ve been experimenting with different ways to make a breaded tofu. Something with a crispy coating, and juicy inside. And, something that is not only vegan, but gluten free as well! I played around with different breadcrumbs and different ways to prepare it. Adding in nutritional yeast not only adds in some extra nutrients, but it… Continue reading Gluten Free Crispy Breaded Tofu
I made this recipe weeks ago, I shared a photo of my result on Instagram I had promised I’d share the recipe, and I just realized that I never did! Oi! I’m so sorry I completely forgot to! I honestly had only taken one photo anyways, with my phone none-the-less. I made it again last… Continue reading BBQ Tofu

I pressed my tofu for about an hour to get all of that extra water out. These came… Continue reading Quinoa Tofu Nuggets
I’ll be honest, Tofu used to weird me out. I tried it once from a Chinese Food takeout and loathed it. I should have known that wasn’t a good choice. I now know that, that tofu was not flavored so it literally tasted like nothing. Since learning how to properly cook tofu, I LOVE it!… Continue reading Tofu Butternut Squash Salad
Pressing tofu is so important to get that perfect texture. You want to squeeze out all of the liquid, and then the tofu can easily absorb the flavor you give it as well as cook nice. You can purchase an actual tofu press. It will save paper-towels and I’m sure be a lot easier. But… Continue reading How to Press Tofu
