I just watched an episode of "Not My Mama's Meals" and he did the whole show on Tofu. He said very high in protein, so I wondered if anyone uses that for their protein source? Favorite recipe? Ok to try early on? :)

    Tofu is really good--it absorbs the flavors of the food you cook it with. I have made tofu stir fries and used it along with chicken or in place of it. You can google a lot of recipes for it. Some you might like, some not. I love chicken breast and fish, so I eat more meat than anything, but tofu is a good choice.

    Love tofu but I don't find it all that high in protein so I will throw it in a stir fry with other protein. It has no flavor on its own so if you can get past the spongy texture you would be good to go. Just remember there are 2 kinds, firm and silken. Firm can be cut etc. silken pretty much has the consistency of pudding lol

    I have a few soup recipes that I add soft tofu to, but I don't use it other than that.
