    Mediterranean Inspired Tofu

    Main Courses

    Switch up your standard weeknight meal routine with this flavorful Mediterranean Inspired Tofu!

    Tofu, as many of you know, is an unparalleled source of plant-based protein coming in at 10 grams of protein per 1/2 cup serving from its soybean origin. We love it in this recipe because it is fairly flavorless and absorbs the Mediterranean flavors nicely. 

    To get this dish going, heat the olive oil and add the garlic and onions on a skillet or large pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes. Then add the olives, tomatoes, sauce, and spices, and sauté for another couple of minutes. Add the tofu, lower the flame, and cook for 10 minutes with the lid on. Enjoy with the suggested toppings, and warm pita or bread!

    Bring the Mediterranean to your own kitchen with the delicious flavors in our Mediterranean Inspired Tofu. What are your favorite Mediterranean foods? Let us know in the comments below!

    Last month when I asked who you wanted us to inter Last month when I asked who you wanted us to interview for our habits series, 90% of you said Gretchen Rubin. Today your wish comes true. For those not familiar with @gretchenrubin, she is one of today’s most influential and thought-provoking observers of happiness and human nature, especially as it pertains to habits. Gretchen is the author of Better than Before, The 4 Tendencies and The Happiness Project and in this episode she shares the secret to creating health promoting habits that will work for you.

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?! 

Ps have you been listening to our habits series
