Before you read this recipe, I want you to close your eyes and imagine yourself on a beach this summer,darkly tanned and wearing that swim suit that shows off your toned and tanned body. Okay, now open your eyes and go look in the mirror. Now, make the following meal and jump back on that treadmill, then lift weights for half an hour.

You’ll get there. Just keep at it.

VEGETABLE TOFU KEBOBS

Serves 8

12 oz. firm tofu, pressed and weighted, cut into cubes

2 tbsp. red wine vinegar

2 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce

fresh ground pepper to taste

1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 8 squares

8 small button mushrooms

1 small yellow squash, cut into 8 slices

8 sweet onions, cutting into 8 wedges

  • Place the tofu in a shallow dish.  In a cup, whisk together 2 tbsp vinegar, 2 tbsp. soy sauce, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp. olive oil and pepper.  Pour over the tofu and marinate for at least 1 hour, turning to coat each side.
  • Preheat the broiler.
