ingredients
- 1 (12 1/3 ounce) package low-fat extra-firm silken tofu, drained (I use Mori Nu light)
- 1⁄4 cup pure maple syrup (no fake stuff)
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 cup dried cranberries (optional)
- 1 1⁄4 cups cooked long-grain rice
- 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1⁄4 cup sliced almonds or 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
directions
- Process tofu and maple syrup in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Add vanilla, cinnamon, and allspice and process until combined.
- Add cranberries and pulse to chop. Stir in rice.
- Transfer mixture to a serving dish. Sprinkle with nutmeg and almonds.
- Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
- NOTE: I like to toast the almonds in the microwave by spreading them on a microwave-safe plate and nuking them on HIGH for 45 seconds, stirring them, and continuing to nuke them in 20 second increments until they are fragrant and brown.

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career.
Other than that, I have a very spoiled Border Collie mix named Bear that I adopted from a local shelter in spring '08. He's gorgeous and fun and brings me great joy. Now if only I could find a man like that... LOL!
