Now and then my creative juices are flowing and my mind begins to wander and I think, "what if," or "I wonder what that would taste like."  It is at these moments that things like this happen...           ...and boy, I am sure glad that it did! Fruit Pizza Whole Wheat [...]

Tofu Breakfast Scramble

in Breakfast, Other

          What does this picture remind you of?  Scrambled eggs, right?  Well...not quite!  It is actually tofu!  Tofu is often used as a substitute for meat in vegetarian and vegan dishes, but did you know that it makes a great substitute for scrambled eggs?  I have read about and heard of [...]

          If you have been reading my blog for very long, one thing that you have definitely picked up on is that I have a great love for chickpeas.  I love them in Indian-inspired dishes, in soups, on salads, and now.... roasted!  Is it just me, or does pretty much everything [...]
