Ever since I went low-fat and no-oil, I threw out all the oils in my household. Then when I moved temporarily into mom’s house I did the same (with her blessing of course). Well, in each case we sent them to a friend who uses oil… so at least it wasn’t wasteful. Regardless, it set […]
Lemongrass tofu scramble (Low Fat, Vegan)
Lunch is sometimes a conundrum. You want to eat quickly, get back to work, get back to what you’re doing… but you don’t want last night’s leftovers or to grab something processed out of the cupboard.
