I'm
challenging myself and you, to one week with no meat (except fish)! I'm on day
four of only fruits, veggies, and tuna and I feel great, but I know there are
lots of challenges to following a vegetarian diet, so I wanted to share some
deliciously easy tips & recipes for you to try! I will do 7 vegetarian posts, one for each day of the week starting with Tofu Tacos below! An as a side note, I just
have to tell you that I just went to the Bay and got myself a Cuisinart Mini
Prep plus processor to make chopping more efficient and I am so in love. It was
on sale, but even its normal price is only 34 bucks and it works awesome, plus
it comes in fun colors. If you don't have a food processor this is what you've
been missing!! You can check it out here

Day 1: Tofu Tacos
You will need:
1 pkge firm tofu
Taco shells
taco seasoning
Sour Cream
Salsa
Cheddar cheese
avocado
lettuce
tomato
Buy firm tofu and drain. Draining the tofu is very important to give its "meat-like" texture. After draining, crumble the tofu & fry in pain with olive oil until it starts to get crispy about 5 mins. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and fry 1-2 more minutes. Serve in taco's with all your fav toppings including salsa, sour cream, cheddar cheese, avocados, lettuce, tomatoes, etc!
