Baked Tofu

Baked Tofu is a meal prep staple! Find the recipe for Baked Tofu by Tracy Benjamin of shutterbean- #shutterbeanmealprep

I added Baked Tofu to my meal prep many years ago and never posted how I do it here on Shutterbean. Time to change that!

Truth is, I never really follow a recipe. I just eyeball it. But here, I’ve written it up for you.

This Baked Tofu makes its way into salads, rice, stir fry, and sometimes I just eat them cold, from the pyrex dish I store them in. Baked Tofu is a cheap/healthy way to get some protein in your life!  I’m a huge fan.

I looked at pictures of my Mom on Mother’s day.  Cooper would be 5 inches taller than her now if she was alive.

Blueberry Mojito

Blueberry Mojito is a refreshing cocktail! Muddled mint and blueberries add color to your life! Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

When restaurants opened back up, my first dinner out with a friend included a delicious Blueberry Mojito!  It was light and refreshing!  Now that the weather is warming up and I’m growing mint it will probably be a new go-to happy hour cocktail.

My version includes vodka instead of rum. I find it makes it more refreshing! Hope you like it too! Cheers!
