Mmmm I love tofu. I always go for simplicity. Dice it and throw it in a stir fry or a salad. Marinate slices and then make a sandwich with some veggies.

If you want to spend a little more time there is some good Tofu Manicotti recipes. My favorite is from the Uncheese Cookbook. I found this one online and looks good though I would probably skip the sugar and look for whole wheat manicotti:

You can do the same thing with sugar free instant pudding mix. Just blend until smooth re- chill.
This is not a dieting recipe below.

1 package Mori Nu silken tofu firm

1 12 oz bag Bittersweet chocolate chips melted

1 6 oz bag peanut butter chips melted

1 tbs vanilla

pinch salt


Blend until all ingredients are well incorporated. Chill and spoon into dishes.


1 tbs vanilla extract

Add the tofu into the pan crumble it into small pieces using a spatula. Heat for about five minutes, stirring occasionally to blend well.

If anybody knows a good Tofu recipe please feel free to share. I've been doing the vegetarian thing for 7 months now and I'm having trouble finding really good healthy tofu recipes. Also any tips on the actual cooking process would be greatly helpful. I think I'm sort of getting the hang of it, but tips would be awesome!
