Summer Recipe #7: Lemon Tofu

Hello hello!

How’s your summer going? I hope you’re staying cool and finding ways to enjoy the sunshine without melting! Over here, the heat has given us a break this week, which felt amazing. We are back to high temperatures, but it definitely doesn’t feel as hot as the past weeks.

Today’s recipe is Sticky Lemon Tofu—a bright, zesty, and totally satisfying dish that’s perfect for hot days when you want something flavourful but not too heavy. Also, summer is the best season for us to pick our lemons from the lemon trees, so if you are as lucky as we are, you will probably find this recipe great to use up some of those lemons! It comes together quickly, and the lemony glaze gives the tofu such a refreshing kick. It’s one of those recipes that feels light but delivers big on taste. Ideal for lazy dinners or prepping ahead for a no-fuss lunch!

If you’re like me and try to avoid turning on the oven in summer, you’ll love that this recipe only uses the stovetop. Pair it with some rice, noodles, or even a fresh cucumber salad, and you’ve got a complete meal that doesn’t require much effort at all.

Last week I shared a meal plan for July with super easy, summer-friendly recipes and snack ideas to keep everyone happy (and cool). If you missed it, feel free to check it out—perfect for when the days get too hectic to think about what to cook next.

Also, quick tip for this recipe: if you’ve got any herbs growing at home—like mint or cilantro—don’t hesitate to sprinkle some on top. It adds such a nice touch of freshness, and makes the dish even more summery.

This week’s recommendation

Before we dive in, I want to recommend a new Podcast that has launched its first episode this week. Dinner Last Night is such a great Podcast run by two amazing sisters. If you are the one feeding your family, you’ll find inspiration, but most importantly, you’ll realize how similar the struggles and victories are when you are trying to juggle a lot of things, including feeding your little or not-so-little ones.

I’m going to be part of the Podcast and I can’t wait to share the episode with you, but in the meantime, I think you should check them out!

Now, let’s check how to make this summery tofu!
