A few weeks ago, my daughter asked for tofu scramble since I hadn’t made anything with tofu in about a year or so I whipped up her favorite tofu dish… tofu scramble. First I needed to purchase tofu, we don’t keep that in the house and so I made sure to add that to the [...]

Work in Progress; Knitted Voodoo doll
