so great! i'm so excited to try these
Woohoo! Let me know how they turn out 🙂
Ok, this is DEFINITELY happening. I've only ever used silken tofu before and have been meaning to try something with firm for a while. These look so delicious!:D
These are so creative!! What a great use of tofu 🙂
Is the nutritional yeast important?
Yes, the nutritional yeast adds the cheese flavor
Just made. Were really good and then just read article from Dr Axe and found out how Very unhealthy tofu is.
I will say was a quick and easy recipe and were tasty.
Hi Linda! Glad you liked the recipe! There is lots of research out there on soy and it seems like there is no clear answer. I personally enjoy it and find that it works well for me! I know it definitely doesn't work well for some 🙂
When I use tofu, I'm careful to choose non-gmo and organic. A more healthy option!
