Gingerbread House -Family Magic!

Last night Brad and Noah constructed our, first-time-ever, family gingerbread house. We bought the kit from Trader Joe's. Brad, the engineer, put the walls together, then Noah added the decorations, with the help from Brad and the picture on the front of the box. Then i did all the "fancy" icicle work. I think Hannah wanted in on some of the action too, but she didn't get too far. We had a lot of fun playing with our food. Everyone should do one of these with their kids!
Ta-Da!

Breakfast Tofu Scramble Recipe

I love using tofu in my cooking. One of my favorite recipes is my breakfast tofu scramble. This is how it goes. I use a seasoning blend from my favorite store called "21 Seasoning Salute". You can also add eggs. But then it wouldn't be vegan anymore.

Ingredients:
Tofu - Firm style
Onions - diced small
Turmeric spice - enough to make the scramble yellow
Salt & pepper - to taste
21 Seasoning Salute - to taste

Directions:
First I chop up some onions and get them in the pan with some coconut oil. You can use any oil you like. When the onions are soft i add the tofu. In a separate bowl I mash or crumble the tofu and place in the pan with the onions. I then add the turmeric and mix it up really good so that the turmeric gets cooked through and the tofu is heated. Add salt, pepper and seasoning blend, if you prefer. I often like to eat it with fresh avocado and sliced tomatoes. Enjoy!
