Vegan Everyday is a delicious cookbook for vegans everywhere!   While I am not vegan, I eat vegetarian at least twice a week so this is a great cookbook for me.    One of the things we eat a lot of is tofu and this cookbook has a ton of great tofu recipes.

The recipe I wanted to try first was the Sweet and Sour Tofu Stir Fry Recipe.  I love tofu in stir fries and knew this would be a great recipe.  It takes less then 20 minutes to prepare and is really flavorful.  It has tofu, red peppers, broccoli, and pineapple with a delicious sweet and sour sauce.
