Tofu Nuggets

These tasty nuggets are a favorite in our house. This recipe is from the Down To Earth Cookbook by Lacey Sher and Gail Doherty. They are simple to make and can be served hot or cold. We usually eat them with mashed potatoes and gravy. Leftovers can be used in sandwiches with mayonnaise. Prep time includes pressing the tofu for 1/2 hour. Enjoy!
