  1. my family did not care for these. the flavor was fine, but they fell apart way to easily, and since i hate to waste, we ended up eating the ‘crumbled tofu’ with spoons! 😉 i wont be making this again.

    1. Kaye – So sorry this didn’t work for you. It happens to me sometimes as well, I just make sure that I make a mental note (or margin note if in a cook book) that it wasn’t a favorite.
