mmm…that tofu looks good! I’m a fan of frozen grapes as well.
Looking forward to reading more!
Yum! I don’t think I could ever possibly tire of tofu…it’s THAT amazing!
Looking forward to your upcoming posts (esp. the recipe)! Have a GREAT Friday!

Mmm…I’ve never tried smoked tofu, but I bet it would taste great, especially with that steak sauce!
Do you eat your meals with chopsticks? If so, I am so in awe – I went to China last spring and it was so embarrassing because I just. can’t. do it!
I’m certain we are not the only ones getting such comments about our low weight, but I guess not everyone are able to stand up for themselves as you did.
Thank you! You probably can figure out some ingredients in various dishes, as several names are fairly similar in English and Swedish, but if there are some that you find particularly interesting, I can translate them for you!
I just wanted to comment and tell you how much I love your blog! A ton!
I just recently tried smoked tofu and really liked it. And frozen grapes are a terrific snack, especially in this hot summer weather!
I can’t believe you’ve never seen Billy Madison! If you like all those other movies, then you’ll definitely like this one!
That dinner looks great!
I saw that new tofu too! Was it good? And bring on the puppy pictures!
I love love love steak sauce! Haven’t had it in forever, but even when I was very little (you know, back before you were born!) and I didn’t like meat even then, but I would dip my veggies in steak sauce and would even pour it on my mashed potatoes!
I love frozen grapes, and frozen corn, for nibbling in this heat- sweet and cool, kinda like we vegans!
Tofu. I want tofu! Especially yours, looks delish
mmm I love smoked tofu. It sounds really nice with that sauce for dipping- mmmm!
Ooh, I love packaged baked tofu like that! My favorite is Trader Joe’s organic one. I cut it into small cubes and eat it for lunch quite often.
Thank you for the sweet comment you left me. I feel blessed to know you through the blogging world, as well!
a) that looks so good!
b) of course you can add me! I love reading yours so it would be an honor!
your smoked tofu sounds amazing – delish!
Organic steak sauce sounds nice and vegan, ha, ha!
So, so… what do we have here? another fan of smoked tofu? because it’s my favorite ever!
I have yet to try the smoked tofu but I love the idea of green beans with steak sauce! I always loved steak sauce – not even on steak.
SMOKED tofu!? Be still my icy little New York heart, that sounds DELIGHTFUL.
K requested buffalo seitan a couple of nights ago. We loved it more than buffalo chicken! I’m thinking it’ll make an appearance again soon
I like smoked tofu. Did you sauté it, or did you eat it raw?
I’m looking forward to your next five posts!
hey i’ve read your blog for a while but don’t really ever comment, but now i just have to!
just wanna say you’re an amazingly sweet person and are a great example of how people should be in this world.. especially how you handled the recent situation. don’t let anyone get you down!
mmm smoked tofu, i hope i can get my hands on that soon! it looks so yummy! and i always ate steak sauce with my veggies even before i was vegan ;P
(you’ve inspired me to try and get better at eating with chopsticks hehe)
i can’t wait for cuppycakes, pooch pictures, and more crazy searches! weeeeeeeeeeeeee!
that steak sauce looks excellent – and so does the tofu, bulghur, and those green beans – oh my!
oh, and i think it’s really neat that you eat with chopsticks – so i started trying to eat most of my meals with them, too! sure, it takes me longer to eat my meals (and to be honest, i’m not the world’s greatest chopstick manipulator so sometimes i get a bit frustrated) – but it makes eating vegan yummies soooo much more fun!
hope you have a glorious weekend of awesomeness! hooooooray!
Since leaving New England, I have been sad that I can not find Soy Boy baked tofu anywhere down here..

I’m a blog reader with no blog of my own who likes to come and check out lovely vegan blogs – like yours – when I have the time/remember. I just want to say, you seem very sweet and just an awesome person in general. I’m so impressed with your compassion and grace. Keep rocking on.
Oh, and I can’t wait for the puppy pics!
Katie! I am so looking forward to your upcoming posts! Make sure to add me to your blogroll so we can be in touch! You make me want to go down south for a vegan eating marathon with you! Happy Friday!
That looks quite delicious! I LOVE frozen grapes!
Your meals always look so delicious and well balanced, and your choice of dipping sauces always crack me up! Yummy! Smoked tofu sounds like a great idea — lately I never have the patience to press tofu and marinate so that it becomes as flavorful as possible…
P.S. You are wonderful!
I LOVE FROZEN GRAPES!!!!
I totally forgot how much I LOVE THEM!!! Im gunna have to buy them and freeze them tomorrow!
I never knew that the Whole Foods steak sauce is vegan! I always see it when I shop there, but I never thought of buying it, but now I will remember to check it out.
I’m definitely looking forward to your upcoming posts (especially cupcakes!).
Tasty treats! I’ve never seen that brand of tofu before, but I’ll keep an eye out for it. PS I *might* like your Discovery Channel better than the regular one…
ooh that steak sauce from whole foods look soo good. i definitely need to make a trip and get some!

Jubilee— Thank you so much for the super-sweet comment. It made me smile!
Megan— Awww, thanks for the comment… and thanks for reading my blog!!! Good luck with the chopsticks; once you get the hang of it, they’re so much fun to eat with
).
Yumm that smoked tofu sounds good to me, I never saw one here though :0( Hahaha, who would’ve thought that the steak sauce was vegan, hehehe!
AND… 0_0 you eat frozen grapes?!! ZOMG … NEVER try that before must try must try … did you know I eat bread straight out of the freezer?! Hahaha!!
I loved White Wave tofu not imported tofu made in China that stinks when you open the package and has the consistency of plastic. I ate a tub a day of White Wave (bought out years ago by Dean Food Products)- firm organic. Well guess what?
Dean stopped making White Wave tofu in order to sell their soybeans for ethanol at much higher prices. They continue making Silk “milks” and some over processed tofu products. They will probably phase these out also. This is an insult to their consumers who now have to try to eat Wes Soy which the giant supermarkets are using as a substitute. Wes Soy is a disgusting tofu. Or we must use imported disgusting tofu which smells and really is plastic.
Think of all the people who will try this once and never eat tofu again. Dean not only exploits and tortures millions of cows but in light of all their ads about health and quality has now decided to thumb their nose at humans who depended on them in places where nothing else fresh and pure is available.
So don’t buy their hype about their concern for our health. Boycott Dean Products.
Luckily I found Bountiful Bean tofu from Simple Soyman distributes in my area. And Mori Nu which is vacuum packed is pretty good. But both are much more expensive. AND companies like Dean will take over small companies like White Wave and Simple Soyman just to get their hands on the soybeans they use. FOR PROFIT – the quick influx of cash before America figures out that it can use non food leafy products for fuel.
We must begin to organize to protect our main source of protein.
I think the first step is to boycott all Dean Products – to get our friends who buy their milk or butter to switch brands – write them a letter and tell them why.
We need legislation to subsidize farmers who raise soybeans for food rather than fuel.
And we must demand that leaf and woods burned in California for no use at all – burning animals in the process, and other places instead be brush cleared for fuel instead.
I might have mixed up ethanol with bio fuel but one of them took my tofu away (and the greed of large corporations).
Hi thanks for posting on my blog.
I really love your site so far. I will check more 2morrow when I have more time. I noticed you eat loads of sweet potato which is a staple in the Caribbean but is unfortunately being ignored because the younger ppl like a lot of pasta and stuff. Anyways we do not use this yellow sweet potato in Barbados we have this variety which is white on the inside. Do you find this variety in the states?
Will add you to my blog roll if your dont mind.
