TOFU MOM . . . and gravy!

The incoherent ramblings of a Fairly Odd TOFU MOM. (aka "Tofu-and-Sprouts"). Unapologetically delicious, vegan comfort food (and lots of GRAVY!); My 'Sprouts' are mostly grown, but happily raised on these kid-tested, Mom-approved, easy, budget-friendly recipes from my kitchen.

About Me

Tofu Mom (AKA Tofu-n-Sprouts): Seattle-Tacoma-ish, Washington; ~~~QUITE SIMPLY, I'M VEGAN AND LOVE TO COOK! ~~~ Over the years, I've collected tons of "Favorite Family Recipes" that I'm gradually veganizing. Friends and family are ALWAYS asking for recipes, so I decided to post them here. ~~~~ If I get an idea from a cookbook, I'll be sure and note it, but most ideas are recipes I've modified 'till they don't resemble the original, or I got from family members, or came up with thru trial and error. ~~~~ That said: I'm first-and-foremost a MOM to three wonderful Veggie Kids who are my life, my passion, my WORLD! ~~~~ I'm in that "over-forty" crowd (though you know what they say about us "older women"!)and lovin' it - I wouldn't trade this age for any other. ~~~ Of course, I'm vegan and passionate about my lifestyle, sharing recipes and ideas, and showing people all the tasty goodies that we Vegans eat! ~~~ What else...Oh, I'm also a Special Education Teacher working in a program with Autistic Kindergarteners. ~~~ My life is full and challenging, exhausting and exhilerating. Most days I love it. Other days I come home and turn into a couch potato and snuggle with my girls.
