Had to comment on the lemon soy puffs and show how its so funny how tastes do change. When I first tried them in my sample pack I thought hideous and chemical tasting and my husband said they were like jet fuel. Had the rest of the pack sitting in my cupboard for a few weeks and just finished them the other night and I really enjoyed them! Kinda considering for purchase. Can't believe my tastes have changed that much. I wish the puffs came in a variety box....

Do you have a recipe you could share for the palak tofu? I'd love to try it. Thank you, WorldTraveler!
It is my husband's family recipe that I altered for the IP phase 1 diet:
heat olive oil in a large pan, add 1 tsp cumin seeds and cook over medium heat for a minute or two, add chopped extra firm tofu and cook until browned on one side (stir often). Remove tofu and place in a bowl.
Back in the pan: add chopped garlic and a bit of chopped fresh ginger (your taste preference). Cook for a few minutes, stir often, add 3-4 dried chilis and 2 sliced Roma tomatoes, cook for maybe 30 seconds, stir and add 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp sea salt and 1-1.5 pounds of washed spinach. Stir, add some hot water (maybe 1/2 cup) and cover to cook the spinach down.
When it has cooked down, remove from heat. Take an immersion blender and blend all spinach and spices until smooth. Add cooked tofu to the pot, stir and serve.

Enjoy-protein and veggies all in one!
Thank you so much WorldTraveler! And a family recipe--that's wonderful. I am definitely going to try this.
