Made as directed with homemade pita bread, the wheat version of recipe #187699 (Pita Bread for the Breadmaker), into which I incorporated recipe #404288 (Nutritious Flour Blend). Very healthy and I just love tofu! Next time I will try adding some Asian red sweet chili sauce as one reviewer suggested in order to spice it up a bit. Thanks, Nasseh!

This made a delicious and healthy lunch! I added a Tbsp oil when cooking the tofu and bell pepper. Right before taking the tofu and veggies off the stove I also added a Tbsp of Asian red sweet chili sauce to give it a little extra flavor. Thanks for another great recipe!

Very flavorful sandwich! I used some bruschetta that needed to be used up in place of the chopped tomato and reheated some tofu left over from another meal. Thanks for sharing. Made for the ZWT6 Diabetic Challenge for Seasoned Sailor and his Sassy Sirens.

Declared delicious by my kid who had never eaten tofu and couldn't figure out what it was. My lips are buttoned shut. Made for ZWT #6.

We really enjoyed these pitas with tomato soup. I used a bit less tofu and probably less spinach. I also used the salad pockets - delish and an easy supper. Thanks for sharing!
