I have felt a bit uninspired lately I have to admit..busy with my day job, kinda dreary out and a bit of stress over taxes! Anyway I am getting a new attitude! The boys were out this evening and I was reintroduced at the salon today to one of my favorite magazines, Clean Eating. I hopped on their website and whipped up the following tofu stroganoff, just the ticket! This is a great way to intro tofu into a lifestyle as you basically puree it so noone is the wiser! I made a couple of subs on the cream and pasta but otherwise this was yummy! Couple of tips, if you buy the canned coconut milk, pour into a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Also if the sauce isn’t as thick and sticking to your noodles like you want, you can thicken up with some cornstarch whisked into water and then incorporated into the sauce. As you heat it then, it will thicken. Check out more recipes at cleaneatingmag.com
