Lemon-Cayenne Quinoa With Sautéed Tofu

Okay, this one is brag worthy! I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to make for dinner tonight, so I just started with the quinoa and all of the sudden I ended up with a dinner with a masterpiece! I used fresh vegetables just picked from the garden today (cayenne pepper, string beans, and basil) the flavors from the red pepper with the tamari sauce was just savory!
