Cashew Butter Veggie Pasta

Now that […]

I’m a breakfast for dinner sort of girl, and a good tofu scramble definitely fits the bill! A few weeks ago I whipped up this tofu scramble for dinner, throwing in spinach, carrots, mushrooms, red onion, garlic, and zucchini from the garden. When I started cooking I had no intentions of posting the recipe. But […]
