I saw you on the Empowered channel and thought I should look you up. I am not vegan and probably never will be but I am attracted to less meat and more plant based meals so I do follow plant based channels and books as well as general nutrition topics. I see where you have 6 kids. That is a load. Reminds me of my childhood. I was the oldest of 6. We lived in a lower middle income neighborhood. My Dad and his brother built the house that I grew up in. It was a 2 BR house ! I saw my first B&W tv set when I was 9 years old. Kids in those days spent most of their free time outside playing games or sports, riding bikes, etc, and it was rare to see a fat person. After I graduated from HS, I felt I would be a burden living at home any longer, so 2 weeks after graduation, I joined the Navy for 4 years. My Mom was a terrific cook. She learned to cook as a young girl from her mother and grandmother. If you wanted a delicious, gourmet Sunday dinner, she could do it. And although she was health concious, health facts in the 40's and 50's were pretty scarce and often misleading in light of what we know today. I remember we were allowed to buy one six pack of soda a week and an occasional 6 oz Coke. So, I am here to learn about plant based cooking techniques and recipes that I can use. I really like your channel. I was hooked after your first few words on Empowered.

I agree with what you said about you hated tofu at first, and took time to get used to it. I remember, first three times I made it I had to throw it out, I just couldn't make myself eat it, it was horrible to me. And then I tried smoked tofu, it was easier adjustment for me, but now I like the plain one better. I even make sandwiches with it, few years ago I couldn't imagine that I could eat a sandwich with tofu. You really need to get use to it and definetely SAUCE is the key. I also love it in panko breadcrumbs and than airfried

New sub. Enjoying your recipes. Just ordered that Ninja air fryer lol! I use my 900watt (not the 600) Nutribullet everyday for everything. I freaking LOVE IT❣️❣️❣️. Crepes, sauces, scrambled eggs (I’m vegetarian), smoothies, make powdered sugar from granulated, grind rock salt into fine salt, the list goes on and on!

Thanks for the recipes❣️ Instead of cornstarch or arrowroot powder, I like using tapioca flour too. ❤

Fortunately my intro to tofu was by someone who knew what they were doing! Absolutely LOVE the stuff!!!

Actually, I do have blender advice. Not everyone knows that every mason jar universally fits onto every single blender. So you could have put all of your ingredients in a jar, blended it, and continue to store it in the same jar. No need for multiple blenders. Love ya!

Nutri Bullet or Ninja could be powerful enough for small jobs. I use Nutri Bullet

You must be in New England ! I shop at Hannaford too here in NH. Love your recipes!

I love tofu. But always need additional ways to prepare it. These three look fabulous. Here’s what I use for a small blender. It’s just a thrift store find; Ozterizer blender. Then narrow mouth canning jars fit perfectly. One cup to two cup jars work great. ❤

I have the Tofu Bud - love it! The longer it sits, the more water squeezed out!

I’m not a big tofu person but everything looked delicious! I definitely want to try these recipes and hopefully it will help me like tofu a bit more.

Wow! I love all of your tofu recipes ❤! I am so excited to try them all!

Great recipes thanks! When I first tried tofu I wasn't keen ut now I love it, could happily eat it every day!

I'm so glad I found your channel! Great presentation and wonderful recipes I can't wait to get home tonight and try them😋

Freezing tofu was a game changer for me I like it so much better!! I also have same air fryer and love it. I’m new to your channel and really enjoying it 😊

I've tried all these and they are soo good! I especially like the orange tofu. mmmm Thanks so much for the recipes!,

I have the exact same air fryer. Love it.

I love my Nutri bullet Pro for sauces. Loving your channel!

Yum! 👏🏻

Love your sauces! please tell me how you clean that air fryer basket? my sponge gets stuck in it and need a quick way to get off the goo!

LOVE orange chicken so you know I'm gonna have to try this.

I have a vitamix but use a ninja for smaller quantities - it just makes sense in terms of cleanup

What brand is your AirFryer. I love the size

Plantastic 🎉

Excellent video ... sharing it with our chef. I love tofu, but for most of the Western world them's fighting words. My community is finding tofu interesting, and your sauces and small cubes will change their mindes: no taste and funny texture. Will look at your frozen and tear method. Good job!

Tbh, any protein is unpalatable without some sort of seasoning.

Was not a fan of the tofu with peanut sauce, way too salty even with low sodium soy sauce.

You have 6 kids ?
