1 cup canned corn, drained
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1/4 cup diced red pepper

1/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tablespoons Bragg's Liquid Aminos* or soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
Slice tofu into 1-inch cubes, and place in am 8 x 8-inch baking dish. Mix pineapple juice, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, and garlic in a small bowl. Use a whisk to combine. Pour over tofu, and put in refrigerator to marinate 30-45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake (in same dish) for 20 minutes or until the outside is a deep, golden brown and slightly crispy.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 2 ounces)
*A word on Bragg's Liquid Aminos...
It is an alternative to soy sauce that has no added salt or preservatives. Bragg Liquid Aminos is a Certified NON-GMO (not genetically modified) liquid protein concentrate, derived from healthy soybeans, that contains 16 essential and non-essential amino acids.
Soy sauce contains wheat (not whole wheat) and sodium benzoate, which is a preservative. Since the goal of the Daniel Fast is to choose foods that God made instead of man-made, chemically processed foods, technically soy sauce is not allowed. However, some people may choose to modify their fast a bit, and that is totally between you and the Lord. Whatever He is leading you to do, do it. If that means eliminating soy sauce for 21 days, great. If not, that's great, too.

Tortilla Chips
1 cup corn meal
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Combine corn meal, water, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir mixture until dough forms a ball and stays together. Add a little water if necessary, a tablespoon or two at a time. Let dough rest for at least 20 minutes (the longer, the better).
Preheat oven to 400 F. Using your hands, press dough out onto an ungreased baking sheet, making it as thin as possible. Use a knife to score chips into desired shape. Bake 20 minutes, or until slightly browned and crispy. Makes about 45 chips (1" square).
Recipe Notes
- Break into smaller pieces, and put in a bowl of soup.

This black-bean avocado dish was indeed great! (Although I did have to put in some black beans -- they weren't listed on the recipe list but I figured out they should be in the dish since they're in the name of it and in the picture! lol) The pictures of the different dishes are helpful, too.
Thanks for some great food ideas these past weeks, and hope you're feeling better!
You got me, Christina! I totally missed that I didn't include the black beans in the ingredient list. Thanks for telling me! I'm glad you liked it. :)
I have a question about Soy Sauce. Doesn't it contain wheat and alcohol? Does this follow the Daniel Fast? Thanks!
Jenny, that's a great question. In fact, I had to look at my soy sauce label to see all the ingredients. I had forgotten that it does contain wheat (not whole wheat, which is allowed) and The goal of the Daniel Fast is to eat as purely as possible, choosing foods that God created and eliminating man-made, chemically processed foods. Kikkoman, the brand I have at home, does not list alchohol as an ingredient. However, it does contain sodium benzoate, which is a preservative.
Thanks for challenging me with this one. I am going to alter my recipes a little. Technically, soy sauce would NOT be allowed, but sometimes people choose to modify their Daniel Fast and give themselves a little latitude. Whatever you feel the Lord is leading you to do on this fast, do it...soy sauce or not. :)
I pray that God will bless you richly as you seek Him.
Okay. Thanks for the response. I did notice that the liquid aminos have just water and soy as ingredients so maybe that is an option.
Definitely the best meal I've had in awhile! It's day 12 for me and I needed something different! Thanks so much!
I'm going to try to baked oatmeal tonight! I'm excited!! :)
Thank you for all your effort in putting this site together, it's been so helpful for me!
Tera, I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe! You'll love Baked Oatmeal. It's a family favorite at our house. You should also try Black Bean Chili Bake. :)
Thanks for your comment and encouragement. Keep going strong on your fast. You're more than halfway there. I pray that God will continue to bless you and shower you with favor as you seek Him wholeheartedly.
