Healthy Vegetable Tofu Kebabs

Enjolinfam's Note:

A fun way to eat tofu and vegetables! I'm dying to try this. It says these can be cooked in the oven or on the barbecue, but I'm sure it would taste best on the barbecue. From Neva & Jim Brackett's 7 Secrets Cookbook to lose weight, lower cholesterol, and reverse diabetes. Just got this cookbook 2 days ago and it's full of yummy looking healthy recipes! If you want to make this meal completely vegan just use sugar instead of honey.

A delicious way with vegetables. We didn't have tomatoes, so used extra zucchini and a whole red pepper for bulk and colour. Just so you know -- zucchini cooked this way is divine. Overall, though, it might be best to cook these in the oven. On the BBQ, the tofu kept trying to escape. My photos show before and after the cooking. Made and enjoyed for the Let's Get Skewered Tag Game in the Asian Forum.
