There is a difference between soft and silken tofu, but its all in the texture and it may not be all that noticeable in something baked like this pie. I have used firm tofu and silken, but not soft (shows how much I know, right?).

Your mother's blog is the first webpage I go to in the morning as I sit down for my morning coffee before I head to work! I am thinking about foster care and her insight is amazing, eyes wide open.... :)<BR/><BR/>I love your recipes. Simple, easy and tasty! Between your mother and you I am encouraged to eat more vegetables! I do have a question about the tofu. I bought soft tofu and not silken tofu. Is there a difference? This is my first time with tofu. I love the pie and ate two pieces! My southern fried husband had one bite and put it to rest. One day he will eat more vegetables than just fried okra, maybe! I will finish the pie off by myself! Keep it coming, because I am craving the mushrooms, I just forgot to get some!!! -NicoleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13668827.post-84922451369362131432008-09-20T13:11:00.000-04:002008-09-20T13:11:00.000-04:00CC - that's wonderful (not the high cholesterol, b...CC - that's wonderful (not the high cholesterol, but that you're embarking on eating real foods).

Must try.<BR/><BR/>I have lurked on your blog a while as I slowly transform my too active, busy, and overly processed food life back to the whole foods that God intended, thanks to a very rude awakening of cholesterol levels (mostly genetic, but not completely). I appreciate all the recipes you post and just clicked the link to 101 cookbooks - LOVE IT, I ordered both of her cookbooks that day.<BR/><BR/>I found you through Big Mama as I read her blog and follow your family's adventures...and frequently add in prayers. I am mom to a mere 3 children through adoption, her chaos helps keep mine in check...<BR/><BR/>Keep sharing the recipes!

As for the filling though, unsweetened carob or cocoa powder, with a little honey, might work. But again, there is the whole texture issue.<BR/><BR/>I need to go back to school.

Is there a way to use unsweetened and more honey maybe? to eliminate the sugar altogether? <BR/><BR/>My doc is really behind me on doing everything I can to strengthen my body and not feed into the tumors. I know its not totally mainstream but she and her PA both feel that avid ing sugar, artificial sweeteners, white flour etc is in my best interest.<BR/><BR/>Which brings me to the crust.
