Air Fryer Tofu for Whatever! #CrispyTofu
Since attempting a more plant based diet, I have become obsessed with tofu. I researched how to make it taste better, and found that pressing the moisture out is key. A few friends suggested freezing the tofu and after defrosting that it would taste “meatier” but I am not fully convinced. So pressing is my... Continue Reading →
And Yet, Here We Are #BeTheChange
Let’s face it, our lives have been upended since 2019. The do’s and don’ts have been overwhelming, the should and should nots are difficult to keep up with. I for one am exhausted.

My pickle spears taste great, but I have to eat them like corn on the cob because the skin was too thick. Lesson learned! However, nothing goes to waste in my kitchen, so I used... Continue Reading →

We Rise By Lifting Others #ShowKindness
I was in a crummy mood, mostly from the news the past few days. I took a time out and noodled on what I could do to be better. I have written in the past about giving daily gifts, right? Thinking about that reminded me about when I was in my 20’s and I worked... Continue Reading →
Get Involved NOW #Volunteer
I was really frustrated last night watching the local news, learning about the continual antics of certain Ada County Commissioners, the two individuals who are making decisions based on their politics instead of science. I am referring to their obstruction to nominating an epidemiologist to the Central District Health Board. I want to scream. Instead,... Continue Reading →
