Tofu Scramble Tacos(Kacie)

So I was on a hiatus for a while.

I did a whole30, which is super clean eating (no dairy, sugar, gluten, soy, grains, and on and on) but also heavy on the meat. For me, that's eggs and fish. It was good, and I'm glad I did it, but I'm also happy I'm done! 30 days without any treat or loose day is hard. However, I am super proud that I did it. I needed to get off of the sugar roller coaster I was on (kind of), and I did. I'm able to enjoy some Christmas treats with more control and pleasure, which is nice.

It also meant I was super limited on ingredients, so I just didn't cook from the book because it was too hard. Sparkles said early on that she wanted more simplicity from her veggies. After 30 days of total simplicity, I was pumped to cook something with a little pizazz.

It could just be the whole 30 talking (did I mention no beans or corn either?), but I loved these. They were easy and flavorful. Yum. I actually ate four (I was super hungry). George ate a bunch too and my mom took the rest. I got la tortilla corn tortillas, and they were really good. I added some guacamole and a little chipotle pepper sauce. Yum.

Mango Curry (Sparkles)

This is mango curry with dry fried tofu. I had to use green curry paste instead of red. My favorite part is the combo of veggies. 

Tangerines dipped in chocolate ruined by Sparkles

Kacie made these already and I made some for December book club. 

As you can see I kinda gave up half way through on my tangerines  because the chocolate wasn't cooperating, I burnt some chocolate and I was more interested in listening to the book club book which was really great.  So here's a Merry Christmas pic starring Kittane and also Happy Hannukah from Slinkerbelle. Dreidel tonight!
