Eatification....

The Tiff-onary (wink, wink) defines Eat·i·fi·ca·tion as - the process of moral improvement or guidance by abstaining entirely from or limiting food.  As we abstain from eating those things that we love and desire (or maybe it's some-thing that you are giving up during the fast), let's also remind ourselves of the challenge to increase our time that we spend in the Word, in prayer, or in praise/thanksgiving.  Let's do something out of the ordinary for God during this time.  He would do it for you... 

So, a dear friend and sister of mine bought some tofu and was not sure what to do with it.  I'm going throw a few suggestions her (and your) way this week to tidy up your palette and get you excited about eating tofu.  (It is an excellent source of protein and very low in calories.) 

Today's recipe is provided by www.vegan-food.net 

Tofu Potato Patties

INGREDIENTS

• 6 oz / 175 g firm tofu, drained and mashed
• 3 T vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cups mashed potatoes (make extra mash for dinner then use leftovers in this recipe the next morning)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley sprigs, minced
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/4 t pepper 

METHOD

In a frying pan over low/medium heat, saute the onion in 1 tablespoon of the oil 'til golden. In a large mixing bowl, mix all the ingredients except the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Mold the mixture into 12 half inch thick patties and fry over medium heat using the rest of the oil until browed on each side. 

And now all she (or you) have to do is make some wild rice and/or steamed or sauteed vegetables of your choice and you're good to go!

Enjoy
