This recipe is delicious and reminds me of my trip to St. Petersburg, Russia. Of course this recipe is a much healthier version of an old time favorite. During the days of the Soviet rule, russian families would bake these wonderful pies. They were inexpensive and very filling. Basically, they are just large bread loaves filled with various meats, veggies, seasoning, and fruits. Beef and mushrooms, chicken and rice, and fruit seem to be the favorites. Now days you can find them at local eateries through out St. Petersburg. Add a salad to this hardy pie and dinner is served. Enjoy!

This simple and easy Tofu recipe will be a favorite. Tofu is a great health alternative to meat protein. Tofu is soybean curd that is produced by curdling fresh hot soymilk with a coagulant. The flavor of tofu is bland and easily absorbs flavors from other ingredients it is cooked with. It can be found in extra firm, firm, soft and silken varieties. Extra firm and firm tofu are solid and can be cubed or sliced. It can be grilled or marinated and baked, added to stir-fries, soups and stews. Three ounces of firm tofu contains 85-90 calories, 9 grams of protein, 2 grams of carbohydrate, 4 grams of fat, 200 milligrams of calcium and is also high in B vitamins. Enjoy!
