Guest guest Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Speaking of new foods to try...my sister just bought brewer's yeast for her dog. I remember our parents drinking that in water and thinking it looked pretty unappetizing. But when I looked at the container of the brewer's yeast, I was impressed by the protein content, which was 16 grams in 2 tablespoons, I believe. Also on the label were two of my favorite words: gluten free. So, what is the RR opinion about this supplement? Does it make a healthy addition to a meal or is this something to be avoided? " Yeast " makes me think " candida " --? Many thanks for letting me jump in here, Janine mel8239 [shaggypoo.chaos] Monday, August 10, 2009 03:32 PM Re: An easy tofu preparation Once again I am reminded to buy tofu & frreeze it! This time I'm really going to!

I just cubed the tofu, dumped it in the water/broth (enough to just cover the tofu), and heated. Brought it to an easy boil, turned it down and let it simmer for several minutes. The longer it goes, the more the flavor gets into the tofu. > > When I was ready to eat, I just turned off the burner and fished out the tofu. I like fresh cilantro, so I chopped some and mixed it with the tofu.

That was good, too, though I prefer the tamari version. > > Of course, you could marinate the tofu in just about anything you like! This was a quick way to use plain tofu, and I didn't need to think about it beforehand, LOL! cheers, Cinzia > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
