Thai Tofu Burritos

These Thai tofu burritos were SO delicious. It might seem like you’d miss the meat in a burrito, but in this one I did not. There are so many textures and flavors in this burrito, it was a joy to eat. The tofu for this burrito is baked basted in a delicious sauce, which isContinueContinue reading “Thai Tofu Burritos”

Ribollita

Ribollita is a Tuscan soup made with a wine and tomato base, greens, beans, and veggies. It is thickened with bread (we added the bread cubes as we ate it) and served with parmesan cheese.

Marinated Tofu Sushi Roll Bowls

This is totally my kind of a dinner and I could eat this all the time and be happy. Even though I called this a sushi bowl, there isn’t actually any raw fish.

Marinated Tofu Bánh Mì

I’ve seen variations on a tofu bánh mì online occasionally and my family loves both bánh mì and tofu. I was still a *tiny* bit skeptical about whether this sandwich would really feel like a banh mi without the meat. I am happy to say that we really loved this, and didn’t feel anything wasContinueContinue reading “Marinated Tofu Bánh Mì”
