Happy Foodie Friday!
Today’s recipes is one of my absolute favorites. If I could choose to only make one thing for dinner for the rest of my life, this would be one of my top choices.
I can make this tofu rice bowl in the evening for dinner and be able to divide it into two halves to have for one half for lunch the following day.
