I've been wanting to try tofu for a while now, I just didn't know what to do with it. This sounds pretty good and I think I am going to try it. Thanks for the recipe

I would try it too, but I am afraid of veggies right now.

I have eaten some steamed broc. and cauliflower, but no onions.

I am exactly 6 weeks out today.

I can't wait until my Doctor's appointment. I feel I have lost some more weight, but don't know.

Feb. 20th. I get my 2nd follow up. Can't wait.

I have been frying my tofu. I even put a little in my turkey meatloaf the other day. It turned out pretty good.

I do have a recipe I invented. It turned out pretty good.

I took about a 1/4cup of turkey meatloaf. I flaked it all apart so it is kinda like ground beef.

Then I took about a spoonfull of spinich out of a can. (Its mushy so it doesn't scare me.)

Then a spoon full of cottage cheese and dumpped some spagetti sauce in it.

Mixed it all up and heated it in the microwave.

So it is like Lasagna without the noodles.

I ate about a cup of it.

Man it is good. I love it.

I had been getting so sick of eating fish, turkey, and chicken that I was going to kill something. (Not a chicken, fish, or turkey either.)
