Fact: Tofu is easily the most versatile vegan staple on the planet. You can bake it, grill it, sauté it, purée it, or fry it. And since it takes on the flavor of whatever it’s marinated in or mixed with, the recipe possibilities for tofu are pretty much … well … infinite!

Check out my recipe below for—*drumroll, please*—baked-tofu fries!

    I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
