ParentHacks.com is one of my favorite sites, and recently they were talking about Kids and Tofu. The comments had some great ideas on how to make kid friendly tofu and we thought we would share, since we a re all about kids and food.

• Cut up firm tofu into tiny bite size squares and eat them plain.
• Blend silken tofu with frozen berries or other fruit, as for a smoothie, and then freeze in popsicle molds.
• Blend 1 carton of firm tofu + half a package of chocolate chips (melted) + 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Pour into little cups and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes so that it sets like a mousse.
• Cut it into bite-size cubes, soak it in cranberry juice in the fridge and then serve it - pink and flavored!
• slice firm tofu, squeeze it between paper towels to remove the water, and then freeze it. The freezing will change the texture, making it "meaty". Then broil or pan fry it with a variety of seasonings.
• Pan fry seasoned tofu cubes for stir fry.
• Toss cubed extra-firm tofu with some cornstarch, season with salt and pepper, then fry in olive oil.
• Bake sliced tofu with BBQ sauce and/or hot wing mix.
