Superbowl Protein Snacks

Tofu Fingers from SparkPeople.  Their’s was a little plain so I used a premarinated version of tofu.

I had some pete's2go Sesame Ginger tofu in the refrigerator and tried it with and without almond flour coating. They're equally good! I liked the crispier ones better so I baked the second batch longer. I sliced them 1/4 " thick and baked them 20-30 minutes, turning half way through. These are so good!

One serving is 2 triangles (sliced up without almond flour)
12 g protein
150 calories

Sounds good, but I ain'****ching the game!  I don't need snacks for the puppy bowl~

Enjoy the game, Diane

Hello my friend! This reminded me I owe you a recipe. Remember, you can substitute the noodles with eggplant or zuccini or some other WLS friendly item.

Enjoy!

TOFU LASAGNA  
¼ cup (½ stick) butter
½ lb fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
3 cups bottled spaghetti sauce
½ cup wheat germ
1 cup mashed tofu
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ lb (small ball) mozzarella cheese, shredded (2 cups) ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 package (8oz) lasagna noodles, cooked & drained  

1. Melt butter in large skillet. Add mushrooms, garlic, salt & pepper; coo****il mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in spaghetti sauce & wheat germ; heat thoroughly.  
2. Combine tofu & parmesan cheese in small bowl. Combine mozzarella & parsley in another small bowl.  
3. Place 1/3 of the lasagna noodles in bottom of an 11 ¾ X 7 ½ inch glass baking dish. Spread half of the tofu mixture on top; pour 1/3 of the sauce over the tofu & top this with 1/3 of the mozzarella. Repeat this layering again, then make final layer of lasagna noodles, sauce & mozzarella mixture.  
4. Bake covered in a moderate over (350) for 45 minutes or until hot & bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting. Garnish with parsley, if you wish.  

Note: Tofu Lasagna can be made ahead & refrigerated; allow an additional 15 minutes baking time.
