Tofu and Tomato Skewer with Herb sauce
This summer House Foods added Super Firm Tofu to its growing family of products to meet the needs of health-conscious American consumers. On Thursday, July 14th Asiance was the first to sample various dishes featuring the new Super Firm Tofu line. We were treated to dinner and had the opportunity to mingle with Steve Smith, NFL All-Pro wide receiver and House Foods brand ambassador. The Event will be held at the River Palm Terrace in Edgewater, NJ. We picked out our favorite recipes which are fabulous for summertime barbecues! The tofu was delicious! The best we have ever eaten!!
