I'm trying to eat more healthy and incorporate tofu into my meals. Lately I have been trying to use more coconut in my meals as well, even though it's not necessarily the most healthy item to include. And being the "bad" person I am, I feel that since I am using tofu I should be able to use coconut and even it out.

Super-healthy sprouts and tangy dipping sauces make these Vietnamese delicacies the ultimate finger food Monica Gullon At the heart of every summer roll are its crispy, crunchy sprouts. A sweet-and-sour sauce tempers the spicy radish sprouts in this produce-packed roll. Can't find mango fruit spread?

ok, so I have been checking out low-calorie foods of all kinds and I came across this particular type of 'pasta' that is apparently made of tofu and some type of yam extract. it is supposed to be a pretty decent substitute for real pasta and it has only 20-40 calories and 3g of carbs per pack!! doesn't that just sound too good to be true?
