Hi Pril.
I eats lots of tofu and it can be taste good if you make it right. The first thing to do is go out and buy a bottle of tamari sauce (it's in with the soy sauce, and I think it's actually a kind of soy sauce, you'll probably want the low sodium kind). Do you grill? You can cube it and soak it in a marinade of tamari and teriyaki sauce and do shish kebobs (this can be done in the oven on broil too).

I have a fantastic recipes somewhere with tamari... and here's one I've posted on here before (a lot of work, but it's yummy!)

Gingered snow peas with tofu, cashews and asparagus

2/3 cup cashews
12 oz. Snow peas, stemmed and tough strings removed
2 TBS. Tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
2 TBS. Peeled and finely chopped or grated fresh ginger
12 oz. pre-seasoned baked oriental-style tofu, cut into half inch cubes (but it's better if you use regular tofu marinated in teriyaki sauce and broiled until brown and slightly crispy)
steamed asparagus
3 TBS. Water
cooking spray
cooked rice

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake cashews on cookie sheet until lightly toasted. 10-12 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook, turning often until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Put in bowl.
3. Add snow peas to skillet and stir fry 1 minutes. Add water, tamari and ginger. Stir fry 1-2 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook.
4. Stir in tofu, cashews and asparagus and heat through.
5. Serve over cooked rice.
