So far so good😊

I made it through the week not eating meat four out of seven days, and it honestly happened without having to try. I did, however, have to make an effort to use tofu in at least one of my meals!

Before this last week, I had never cooked tofu, but it turned out to be a pretty unintimidating process. I began by pressing the tofu to get rid of the excess moisture, then cutting it into cubes, and eventually, marinating half of the cubed tofu in soy sauce. Once marinated, I cooked the tofu in a bit of oil and tossed it into my normal stir-fry mix of vegetables and rice. It was delicious, AND I honestly didn’t even miss the chicken that I normally incorporate in that meal. Even better was that I still had leftover tofu, so I decided to try out another recipe. This time I got a little more adventurous and decided to make tofu tacos. These consisted of tortillas, crumbled tofu, taco seasoning, salsa, cheese, and lettuce. Simple, but so good!

Here’s a quick photo of the stir-fry I made (my apologies for not taking a picture of the tacos, but I was so hungry by the time I’d finished cooking them that I didn’t bother).

I know it’s only the start, but I’d call this journey a success so far, and I’m looking forward to week two. I think I might attempt jackfruit ‘pulled pork’ as my new protein replacement this time.
