This Za’atar Tofu is a wonderful addition to any salad or wrap. It’s also a great appetizer or snack! I work from home, so most days I make myself a large salad or heat up leftovers for lunch. However, there are days when I don’t feel like making my own meal. I live around the…

Lemon-Rosemary Grilled Tofu Sandwich
Brightly flavored lemon-rosemary marinade is the star of this Grilled Tofu Sandwich. Piled high with avocado and pesto, it’s bound to become a summertime favorite! I don’t find myself at Blossom du Jour in Manhattan very often, but when I do, I almost always order the Un-Chicken Avocado Griller. It’s kind of silly that I…
Tofu Spring Rolls
Paired with spicy peanut dipping sauce, these tofu spring rolls make the perfect appetizer or light meal. It’s the ideal food for warm weather, when cooking a hot meal is the last thing anyone wants to do. I have a confession to make: sometimes I get so busy that I buy pre-made food. Gasp! I…
Where Do You Get Your Protein?
The one question that I get asked more than anything else is, “Where do you get your protein?” It usually comes right after “You haven’t eaten any of the egg salad or cheese dip. Are you one of those ve-guns?” I’ve been eating this way for so long, that I’m actually kind of tired of…

This versatile Baked Tofu can be used in salads, sandwiches, Buddha bowls, and even as an appetizer with dip!

Skip the takeout and make this Sweet and Sour Tofu at home. It cooks up faster than you can drive to the local Chinese restaurant and back! Chinese New Year is this weekend, and we’ll be welcoming in the Year of the Rooster. According to Chinese astrology, the Year of the Rooster will be filled…
Vegan Tofu Feta
I was a complete cheese addict grown up. I started out with cellophane-wrapped American Cheese slices and jars of Cheez Whiz. I remember one long car ride where I had a box of Triscuits and a can of Easy Cheese to keep my attention occupied in the back seat. As I grew older, my tastes…
Vegan Spinach Mushroom Quiche
I’ve never actually had an eggy quiche, but I have had many vegan ones made with tofu, white beans, and even chickpea flour. It’s amazing how creative you can get with ingredients once you remove the animal products! This quiche is tofu based, and it’s a good dish with which to usher in spring. It’s…
