Veggie tacos with tofu, spinach, corn, goat cheese, and cilantro (my favorite)! Served with peach mango salsa on top and a side of Chardonnay. YUM!
Spring has Sprung!!Here's the recipe:
Serves 4| Hands-On Time: 20m | Total Time: 20m
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained, patted dry, and crumbled

- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 10-ounce package frozen corn (2 cups), thawed

- Fill the tortillas with the tofu mixture, goat cheese, and salsa.

Name a hot sauce they don't have and your meal is free.
I ordered the gumbo (must-have), chicken voodoo quesadillas, and a hurricane. I loved all of it!

Passion makes the world go round. Whatever your passion may be: life, love, your career, and yes even Fashion....Passion gives life to the things we love. So whatever it is, follow your heart and live without the regret of what ifs. Do whatever it is that makes you the very happiest, no matter how others may perceive it. Remember you are in charge of your own happiness and life.. so live it UP. Allow yourself to enjoy those moments of pure bliss.... and BATHE in it. The world would be a much happier place, starting with what matters most.. YOU.
Boo hoo I sound like a brat

I spent my morning running around town doing errands, while the cleaning lady did her weekly routine of cleaning, organizing, and picking up around the house. Long story short.... I was having a spectacular morning and came home to a clean room. What's there to complain about, right? Well, I was completely shocked because I gave directions to neverrrr clean my room, mostly because I function in chaos (organized messes), but also because everything on my bed is DRY CLEAN only. Maybe I wouldn't be so distraught if I didn't spend months picking out the specific duvet I have (with hand sewn embellishments or if I didn't spend a fortune on it. I don't sleep very well, so naturally I make my bedding as close to heaven as possible... she washed everything... and dried everything. My duvet, pillow cases, sheets will never be the same again. Not to mention there is now a rip in my duvet... Cheers to more sleepless nights!
