For those that have no idea what tofu is first an explanation.
Tofu is not short hand for: To F U
Glad I could clear that up for you.
Let me quote Wikipedia for you:
“Tofu, also known as bean curd, is a food made by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into soft white blocks. It is a component in East Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines. There are many different varieties of tofu, including fresh tofu and tofu that has been processed in some way. Tofu is bought or made to be soft, firm, or extra firm. Tofu has a subtle flavor and can be used in savory and sweet dishes. It is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish.”
So let’s clear something up at the start, shall we? Tofu does not have to be a bland part of your meal. There are many varieties of tofu chose from, and just as many ways to prepare it. But let’s skip all that for now: here we are looking for perfect simplicity. And that means there’s really only one cooking method you need to know to make tofu that is delicious, versatile, and perfect for any meal! Learn this simple, no-fail way to cook tofu, you’ll never be disappointed.
1) Take tofu and rinse
2) Toss tofu in the recycling bin
3) Go buy some meat
4) Fire up the grill and get barbecuing

If it’s naturally sugar free, I’ll give you that one, but artificial sweeteners leave a bad taste in my mouth. Yuck!

Indeed – I don’t use artificial sweeteners at all. Coffee is black. When I bake I automatically cut the sugar in half. I’m just not big on sweet flavours. I enjoy the more tangy and or savory foods. Add a little salt and spice – kapow for my taste buds!
