Kid Friendly Tofu Recipe: Tofu Sloppy Joes
The whole family will love this quick and easy vegan tofu recipe
Debbie Nothaft's Tofu Sloppy Joes are on our short list of kid friendly tofu recipes - those that kids will actually eat.
Debbie is famous in our town for the food she brought to the Saturday trade fairs at the M.I.U. Student Union, for 15 years. When she left town, the trade fair collapsed, and many people starved, but she wrote down the recipes in Cabbages and Roses.
Debbie's recipes are quick and easy, they always work, and taste great. Although it's mostly vegetarian, there are chicken recipes in Cabbages and Roses, which makes it an excellent transitional vegetarian cookbook.
Makes 6 - 8 sloppy joes, under 30 minutes prep time from start to eating.
