Tasty Tofu Scramble

Vegan Tofu Vegetable Scramble

Tofu Vegetable Scramble Tacos

My little hubby and I made a delicious breakfast together today. He’s fast becoming the master of the one pan dish. I chop everything up and he cooks and seasons it to perfection. This dish includes Hard Tofu, Onion, Green Bell Pepper, Tomato, Spinach, and Cilantro. All sautéed together in olive oil and seasoned to taste. We’re off to Sprouts Farmers Market to pick up groceries for a Post-Mother’s Day Picnic. We’re making Tofu Salad Sandwiches, and my sister has baked mini pies for dessert. I’m excited. Happy Meatless Monday!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Me and my Mommy

A Thank You Card for my Mother

She really is wonderful and beautiful…

The other side of the card was from Mark

Mom’s favorite: Vegan Banana Walnut Muffins

Today is Mother’s Day. How can I thank my Mom for the twenty-six years of being an amazing Mother to me? It’s not easy. She was taken out for an early Mother’s Day lunch on Friday, she got homemade muffins and a card today and tomorrow we’re having a picnic with the family. I just wanted to thank my Mother today before we head out to celebrate with Mark’s Mom. Wishing everyone a wonderful day!

Chocolate Mug Cakes

Last night we made Vegan Chocolate Mug Cakes. I had never heard of a “Mug Cake” before last night, but I’ll try anything to get my sweet tooth fix. Happy Herbivore posted the recipe on her blog to promote her latest Vegan Cookbook Everyday Happy Herbivore. I used Whole Wheat Flour, Raw Sugar and Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips in my recipe. It was quick and easy! I needed to microwave my cakes closer to 4 minutes and a drizzle of vegan chocolate syrup didn’t hurt. Next time I’m thinking of adding Coconut Flakes and Walnuts. That’s one way to cheer up a dark, rainy day!

Rainy Tuesday

Homemade Banana Ice-cream with chocolate syrup

Our power was knocked out last night during an incredible thunder-storm, preventing us from working on a film project. We read Calvin and Hobbes by flashlight and went to bed early. This morning the rain continued, keeping my little cats inside for the day. We tried to make the most of it by making ice cream and getting back to editing. Hope everyone enjoyed some down time during the storm!

Surprise for me from Emily!

Yay! It’s Homemade Vegan Chocolate Cake!

Tailgate Cake Party in the parking lot!

Last week we met our friend Emily for lunch. She had been wanting us to try Thai Topaz for lunch and we just can’t turn down Thai food. The lunch specials were affordable, tasty, and you could make almost all of them vegetarian. She also baked me a Post-Birthday Birthday Cake, which was DELICIOUS. Thank you Emily, your vegan baking skills rock. I slowly devoured the whole cake, sharing as little as possible. It seems like I just keep celebrating my Birthday. Even today my sister Nadia took me out for shopping and lunch which I labeled as a late Birthday gift.

I must get back to work, we’re very excited about completing a new film featuring the work of Japanese Artist Yasuaki Onishi at Rice Gallery.
