I finally went for my second run of the new year this morning. When I first woke up, I didn’t think that I was ready yet. I still felt congested, my throat was a little sore, and I still felt kind of crummy. But, one look at Penny convinced me to at least try. She […]
Two Vegan Recipes: Spicy Lime Soup & (another) Tofu Scramble
I (frequently) say that I love a good tofu scramble. I hadn’t made one in a while, I think because in my mind I think of it as a breakfast dish and I rarely have time to spend on breakfast prep of anything more complex than oatmeal or a smoothie (and even that’s pushing it). […]
