This meal is perfect for a warm summer afternoon.  I recently posted a photo to Facebook and got a huge response so I thought I’d officially share the recipes with you.  The coconut tofu was inspired by a recipe I found on Allrecipes.com and the grilled cabbage was another great find on Pinterest.  I hope you enjoy this meal!
