If you follow my Instagram stories each day, you know that my son LOVES a big breakfast but I rarely show my breakfast because a. I don’t love a big breakfast (I know, crazy for Instagram world!), b. I eat the same smaller, on the go breakfast alllll the time, and c. with our morning routine, it’s all about getting my son breakfast before a day of school and I relish my sleep too much to get up earlier.

But that said, I do enjoy a savory brunch every so often. I shared this plate of mine from last weekend on my Instagram stories and go so many questions about the recipe that I decided to share it today.

This plate was sooooo yummy! A tofu scramble with diced red pepper, carrots, green onions, cilantro or parsley and lots of yummy seasoning like turmeric and a few squirts of hot sauce! (Recipe adapted from Vegetarian Times) Served with sautéed spinach, roasted potatoes, roasted tomatoes and avocado it was delicious!
