So, if you follow this blog, there are probably 2 things you know about me…1. I am a vegetarian, and 2. I love buffalo sauce. Back in the day, before I was a veggie (nickname given by 2 ultra-creative teenagers), I used to eat buffalo chicken wraps all the time…and when I say all the time, I mean it…it was pretty much the only thing I ever ordered when dining out.

Easy Baked Tofu
Even before I became a vegetarian, I loved tofu....especially when it's fried, crispy, covered in sauce and in Chinese food. Who doesn't like that?

I found a recipe for Hot and Sour Soup over at the JessFuel blog, and with a couple of little changes I gave it a try. It turned out really great, and was easy to make. It makes a HUGE pot of soup, probably around 6 servings or more (big servings). I made it with ginger garlic broccoli and zucchini, and it was delicious. I will post the recipe for that later this ...
