Barbecued Tofu and Roasted Potatoes
I like to make this meal when I get home at around 6:30 or 7 and have not yet done any dinner preparation. It takes no time at all and it's totally satisfying. Make the barbecue sauce ahead and use it whenever you need it. You can throw the potatoes in the oven and walk away. It's also inexpensive with potatoes, tofu, and pantry items being the main ingredients.
