Tofu is a quick, easy and economical protein source that happens to be very high in calcium. Despite so many good nutritional qualities, tofu and soy-based products tend to have a very divisive reputation – either you love it or you hate it!!
Unless you have an allergy or aversion to soy, there is no reason for avoiding it completely! Whichever side of the debate you reside on, this recipe is worth a try! Kid-friendly, mom-friendly and even dog-friendly, it does not disappoint. The best part is that it is ready to eat in 20-25 minutes from start to finish (the oven does most of the work for you!!).
