I have only been at this for 10 months and I have tried tofu in a smoothie and that was terrible. I even tried silken tofu in stir fry and that was a disaster. You use firm to extra firm with stir fry. I learned a lesson on that one. I bought some firm tofu recently. I have no idea how to prepare it AT ALL. I am so new but I want to learn. When using it in stir fry when do I add it? Should I let it marinate first? and for how long? It's going to take some getting used to I know but this is part of my transitioning from dairy. I also tried some vegetarian chilli for the first time and topped a veggie hot dog with it. I love chilli dogs and still do the veggie way. I thank you in advance for all of your help Tofu is something I've wondered about as well. Once I bought it (before I went vegetarian) and I tasted it plain, I thought it was so nasty...then Grandma told me you have to mix it with something to get it to taste like something other than cardboard, LOL. If anyone could give me any tips on how to use it and make it good, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks! PS: What exactly are flaxseeds and what can you do with them?

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hi Heather, you may wish to experiment with drying it out too. I learned that the texture is different if you let it dry between two towels. I don't have much experience with this though, what do ya think Donna? hugs, Chanda - Heather Graves Sunday, October 23, 2005 4:12 PM Question about flaxseeds and tofu use I bought a 1/4 lb. of flaxseeds.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I have a little coffee grinder on the counter. I only grind enough for a day or two. The grinder is so tiny and unobtrusive. Since learning all about the nutritional benefits from flax seeds and nutritional yeast flakes, I have been incorporating them into everything, LOL, like tonight I threw a tablespoon of yeast flakes into the spaghetti sauce, and today I threw a tablespoon of the ground flax seeds into my yogurt. ) hugs, Chanda - TendrMoon Sunday, October 23, 2005 4:32 PM Re: Question about flaxseeds and tofu use In a message dated 10/23/05 4:23:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time, jbnsun writes: > .
