Tofu has no taste of it's own and will take on the flavor of whatever it is mixed with. I don't eat tofu but have you thought of replacing the beans with tofu? You said you hate beans but what about lentiles or split peas? They are a great source or protein. Also is it the taste of the beans or the texture? If it is the texture not the taste you could make hummus which is so good. I don't like the taste of chickpeas so I replace them with navy beans in hummus. Then there is always veggie quiche or veggie frittata, change the cheese and veggies and they taste all together different. Lwt mw know if you want any recipies.
Thanks for your answer, I like tofu, I didn't think about that. I cannot stand the texture of beans, lentiles and split peas. I made hummus and I like it that's about as far as I will go with these vegies. But tofu, no problem. I also watch my weight as in 2000 I lost some 45 lbs but I now regain 15 and very unhappy about it, I just can't seem to get them off.
If you have any recipees, I'll be glad to try them.
