Well, there’s something about the word resolution. Even though I am a girl who finds Silver Linings (pretty much everywhere!), it seems as if many New Year’s resolutions are… Continue reading New Year's Intentions

Anyhoo, I thought that I’d start the year off with a recipe that I concocted. Yes. Me. Without a “?” I might add. I read about baked tofu somewhere…years… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Baked Tofu
