Dans la Cuisine: Tofu Scramble

Image
I'm back! But before I can begin to show you any new Bahamas pictures I still need to unpack my camera, download and sift through all of them. So instead I have this super easy tofu scramble recipe to share with you. We tend to forgo going out for Brunch often since there are few places that serve a vegan brunch, and the places that do well, most of them have a tofu scramble on the menu. This, my friends, is super easy to make at home. The ingredients can be swapped to suit your taste buds and the measurements can also be to revised to your liking.

Cupcakes - The Newest Sweet Treat Trend By Denny Phillips Have you been to an event recently and been surprised that instead of a regular cake, you were treated to an elaborate cupcake display? Cupcakes seem to be all the rage nowadays. Cupcakes seem to be the trendy thing to serve at any gathering, from baby showers to weddings, or birthday galas to Super Bowl parties. Cupcakes are easy to eat, full of delicious flavor and exciting eye-catching delights. It seems everyone loves those sweet little concoctions. But, are they really just cute little miniature cakes, or are they a wonderfully flavorful dessert deserving their own title? The origins of cupcakes are controversial.
