¿Comó se dice "Tofu" en español?

For lunch this afternoon, I made a little twist on my Chicken Fiesta Salad and made a Tofu Mexican Salad:

Tofu Mexican Salad

-Drain one serving of tofu and pat dry with a paper towel. Season with cumin and hot sauce

- Grill tofu for 3 minutes per side on medium heat, until nicely browned.

- Add corn kernels, fire-roasted tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper and red onion (I used the left-over ingredients from the Pilot’s tortilla soup last night)

- In a salad bowl, coat the bottom with 1/2 cup of fat-free refried beans. Heat in the the microwave for 1 minute.

-Top with your choice of lettuce and then the tofu-veggie mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro and/or avocado.

I covered it in hot sauce and it was pretty amazing and very satisfying. Except for my little (ok huge) sweet tooth…. so I had a peach "flower":

PB280100 Yes, I like to play with my food :D

After lunch, I hit up the gym for Part II of my "cheat day" workout: (it was pretty mellow)

Elliptical intervals 10 minutes total- alternating for 2 at 5 resistance and 5 crossramp with 2 at 10 incline and 10 crossramp
V-rope tricep press 30 lbs; 3 sets of 15
Donkey squats 12 lb medicine ball; 3 sets of 10
Leg extention 1 set of 12 at 40 lbs, 2 sets of 12 at 35 lbs
Treadmill Walk 10 minutes at 4.0 mph with 3.5% incline

Back at the house, I made some protein pudding for my afternoon snack. 1 scoop chocolate protein powder with 1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt: (I also dipped my spoon in the PB jar before stirring it– it was maybe 1/4 tbs worth)

PB280101

It was very delicious, but not for the faint of protein heart. You have to really like the stuff to enjoy pretty much eating it straight like this — it’s almost a protein pixie stick (remember those things?!?! mmm). So if you only kind of like protein powder, you might want to use more yogurt than 1/3 cup and doctor it up with some sweetener and cinnamon and/or fruit.

Well I’m off to get ready for girls’ night :D Enjoy the rest of your night and I’ll "see" you FRIDAY!!!!
