The other day, I wanted a really simple breakfast, so I crumbled up the tofu and added the general spices I would add to a scramble and served it in a sandwich with my spicy mustard dip.

Hubbs tried some and exclaimed.. ooh this is so much like scrambled eggs. I was like, why haven’t we done this before. Hubbs ate the whole bowl by himself and I had to make more. So I took pictures of my sandwich and was hoping to post it today by 11 am.

And then this is what happened. It was game day today, so in general the anxiety level in the house was up. After 2 attempts at a walk, chewie finally did make it a few blocks in the crazy thunderstorms. Everyone was soaking wet. Around 10:30, hubbs was irritated at the stuff sitting here and there in the kitchen and living area (remnants from general saturday and cooking), so I postponed the post write up and chewie’s bath and we put things back and cleaned up to ease the rising stress. Then chewie got a warm bath in the kitchen sink and everyone was happy, clean and calmer.

Or so we think. We ate some PB bowls through the disappointing first two quarters. Chewie sensing the energy, promptly went upstairs to catch a calm nap. I had my shower and used conditioner instead of shampoo and realized after I was done, so I had another shower. With the frustration in the house, I couldn’t get myself to do anything else but watch the game. And then everything just turned in the last 3 minutes. Like OMG, that was some game! Overtime was even more fabulous! Super bowl here we come.

After all that yelling and jumping, I needed a power nap or two. Now I am back awake with tired eyes which most likely will not be reading much today or tomorrow. Anywho, make this super easy tofu salad! and please excuse ramdom spelling errors that I will correct tomorrow.

This is a basic recipe, add veggies and flavors to taste.





Now if only i could find a gluten-free vegan bread that looks that good.
