This dish has the essence of a layered Mexican dip with the meal-like heartiness of a casserole. It’s awesome. And not remotely complicated to make assemble. Hooray!

I feel like I’m clinging onto summer with this breakfast. Home-made banana pancakes with strawberries and peaches. This was my first sweet breakfast in a long time. I finally finished off that massive batch of vegan gluten free pancakes that I made a while back, so I had to do actual work in the morning for these. The effort was worth it, but I wish I’d had the energy to make a huge batch so there were leftovers. Part one of lunch was half a sweet potato with tofu scramble. I’ve been on… Read more >

Where oh where to begin. Last weekend was so full. On Thursday we drove home via the glorious I-5. If I had to guess how much of my life I’ve spent on that drive… So Thursday morning I got up early because I had a few things I wanted to get done before the commute home. First, breakfast. Another vegan tofu “scramble” with a sliced peach on the side (as if you couldn’t figure out what that fruit was). And my folate, DHA and iced tea. Naturally. After breakfast, I ran some errands, and then… Read more >

Alternative title for this post: the day I ate an entire avocado. Oh look! A non-egg breakfast! We were out of eggs, so the night before I made a vegan alternative. Just silken lite tofu, nutritional yeast, & Bragg’s liquid aminos. [Lots of nooch] Then in the morning all I had to do was add it to a hot pan (sprayed with non-stick) and wait for it to get warm and kinda crusty (I don’t know a better word to describe it). In all honesty, I usually use extra firm tofu in scrambles,… Read more >
