In fact, I think I made every mistake one could possibly make with it. It took me over a year to learn to love tofu and in that time, I made plenty of mistakes with it. I knew I had to learn how to cook tofu myself. Then at a restaurant, I ate my first tofu scramble and was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. At a vegan picnic, I tasted some store-bought, prepared baked tofu and thought it was tasty. And why was it swimming in water? I was lost. I didn’t even know how to buy it because there were so many kinds: silken, soft, firm, extra-firm. The problem was that I didn’t know what to do with it or how to cook it. When I became vegan, I knew that tofu and I needed a fresh start to our relationship. Whenever I would get a Chinese food dish that included bean curd, I would ask them…beg them to leave it out. Before I was vegan, I couldn’t stand tofu. Tofu is one of my favorite foods, but it wasn’t always like that. Thank you for sharing your recipes with me.Tofu is delicious. I leave a rating or a review for every recipe I try from the Zaar site. Youngest Daughter calls it my 'Cooking Facebook' LOL!!įor me, there is nothing better than getting together with good friends and sharing good times and great food! I am adopted and I just turned fabulous 41! I stay very busy, but like to watch Food Network and to try new recipes. I am an animal lover and love to provide 'good care and lots of affection' to all pets, not just my own! I am also the mom to 2 wonderful girls (ages 20 and 18) and to 2 spoiled rotten Labrador Retrievers and an equally spoiled cat. Or to quote a song 'Free your mind, and the rest will follow.' Yeah!! Be that leader!!! Close your mind and close the door on life, I say. It takes all races, creeds and sexualities to make this world go 'round. I am very human rights focused and very open minded.

My own dad is a wonderful person, a fantastic woodworker and generous man whom I adore. I am a school secretary, very happily married to a firefighter who is the love of my life! I am the fortunate soul of an outstanding mother in law, who I consider my 'mom', and for a step-dad in law that is an absolute riot and always makes me laugh. Cooking is a passion and I am having fun! ) It's a pleasure to cook for my friends and family! I love to try new recipes and I prefer eating and entertaining at home to eating at a restaurant.
