Recipe: scrambled eggs with a twist

Tags : breakfast, eggs, lunch, nourishing, protein, scrambled eggs, vegetables, vegetarian

Comments : 0

Years ago, I had an unexpected knock on the door while making breakfast. With all the eggs in the house already in use, how could I magically double the recipe? Grabbing a chunk of firm tofu from the fridge, I surreptitiously squeezed out the water with clean hands and finely...

As we ease into autumn, I’m enjoying getting up before dawn, while it’s still cool enough to exercise comfortably. It’s no hardship, as an unscheduled trip to New Zealand has nudged my sleep pattern. So for now, I’m going with the flow. In early April, daylight saving comes to an...
