Another week of incorporating soy into my life and finding that it isn’t as hard as I thought it would be—cold cereal, smoothies, oatmeal, mashed potatoes and scrambled tofu. Who knew? Almost every day, I fix myself a soy smoothie because it’s quick and easy. So, I whipped up this very delicious mango-blueberry soy smoothed […]
Lemon Lavender Iced Tea {Recipe ReDux}
I’m a water and ice tea kind of gal. If you’re thinking that might get a little boring, you’re right! Finally, I found a lightly sweetened alternative. A cold tea-like drink that doesn’t have all the calories or sugar, like soda or lemonade has, but still has flavor. Oh, and without artificial sweeteners, too. You […]
Walnut Broccoli and Tofu Stir Fry
Winner! Winner! Tofu Dinner. No, I haven’t lost it. Yet. But I agree we’ve gone a little soy crazy over here. The Mom in me wants to make sure I give you enough soy meal options to try if you need to control those hot flashes. If you missed my post on soy and hot flashes […]
Good Morning! Breakfast is Served.
Today I was looking for a recipe that incorporated a soy product, but I needed a break from tofu. And, it dawned on me that one of my favorite recipes is slow cooker oatmeal. I wondered if I could use soy milk instead of regular milk, so I did a little research and found that […]
Scrambled Tofu {Vegan}
I’m not gonna lie, when I first saw my college roommate make scrambled tofu, I thought she had lost it. She was just a vegan hippy in my book and I couldn’t think of any reason why eating real eggs was so bad. And honestly, eating eggs ISN’T bad, but when you have hot flashes […]
Super Easy Baked Orange Juice Tofu
I’m certainly learning a lot about tofu so far this month. I had no idea that it had to be pressed before you cook with it—I thought you just cut open the package, fish a chunk out of the milky water, slap it onto the cutting board and create your tofu masterpiece. The recipe I […]
Triple Berry Tofu Smoothie
When your hot, is there any better food than a smoothie? It’s fruity, cool, filling, and it’s healthy, packed full of vitamins and fiber. It’s a great way to get more fruit and vegetables in your diet. And it offers the perfect venue for adding protein powder or tofu. Smoothies are a great solution […]
Easy, Tasty Tofu Curry Veggie Bowl
So, this month is all about hormones and Heidi is going to tell us all about how that controversial ingredient “soy” fits into our menopausal lifestyle. She has challenged me to cook often with tofu (which is soy-based) this month and I’m kind of excited. The only time I actually order a tofu dish is […]
Creamy Cashew Cheese {Non Dairy}
What if you love cheese but can’t tolerate dairy products? Or maybe you’re like me… you love cheese but like to try new things. You gotta try this. You can make a non-dairy “lick-the-bowl” creamy cheese from…nuts. Actually, cashews. I think cashews work well because they don’t have a chewy skin like walnuts and almonds […]
