I wanted to make coleslaw with my final quarter of a cabbage (wow $2 goes a long way! I made cabbage rolls, hot and sour cabbage soup, added some to a mixed salad and finally this…) Not only am I going to give you a money saving recipe, I am going to give you three variations. Continue reading
Tofu scramble (my first)
I made my first tofu scramble. I wondered how it would taste like eggs by adding seasonings that I did not add to eggs. A few things contributed to its success as a breakfast scramble rather than feeling like regular stir fried tofu. Continue reading
Decisions….
I have made a decision about this blog. At least that is one area of my life in which I have. I have decided to rename and rebrand it. The Newest You does not reflect theĀ things that I have been posting on this blog. Continue reading

The good news is my reaction; it tells me just how far I’ve come. Continue reading
