I'm trying, really. I'm phasing myself into the Eat Right for your Type diet and I'm a Type A, so it's a predominantly vegetarian diet. So, I figured I'd try some tofu recipes, even bought a Tofurkey tonight...
how the *bleep* do ya'll do it? Seriously. I'm really beginning to dislike the flavor of tofu, and no matter what I do, I can't hide that flavor. I love my veggies, but seriously...
I can have poultry and some fish, on this diet. it's supposed to help the idiosyncrasies of the body of a Type A (as in blood type) not only lose/maintain a proper weight, but also balance out things like pains and stomach acid issues (I have chronic headaches and other things, but have little insurance so I can't afford good doctors).
If you're a vegan or vegetarian (I know you're here, too), what are your tips and tricks to working with tofu? I've done the draining thing (Good Eats is an awesome show), marinated it in soy sauce (did that once, not bad, but still very salty, hate low sodium soy sauce), and all that... what do you do?
I'd like to continue exploring this... but the Tofurkey is pretty much a waste... the texture and flavor stopped me eating it after three bites.
recipes? tips? tricks? Anything?
Now, if only I could get these #$%^%^#&%#$$^#$%& hiccups to leave me alone (been on and off all d*** day, and is driving my nuts... all my usual tricks don't work, and the 'traditional' methods have never worked... don't worry about it... they'll pass... eventually)
I need to go find other food now... three bites wasn't enough...
