Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Squeeze the block of tofu over the sink with your hands to remove some of the liquid. (It will start to crumble- that's ok! Just hold onto it and squish from all angles.)
  2. Over a small mixing bowl, crumble with your hands so it's mashed into curds about the size you'd see in typical cottage cheese.
  3. Add yogurt, lemon juice and salt and stir to combine. Enjoy!

Give me the determination to care for my health—not out of pressure, but out of gratitude for all You've made me capable of. Guide my choices today so they reflect stewardship of Your design and bring glory to You. Amen.
