A Gliding Calm Kind of Meal
Falling asleep while trying to memorize…..memorize…..memorize….memorize……ZZZzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzzz…….
Just kidding! I’m awake! haha! Here’s a little story of my time in the kitchen trying to find a meal today:
Looking in the fridge….I see some veggies, some tofu, and other stuff for tmw’s dinner/snacks. I reach for the salad bin and see tomatoes on the side, added a little bit of ranch dressing…..
(handful of mixed greens + 1 tomato + very little drizzle of ranch dressing)

I looked over to my right side and see sweet potatoes, garlic, ginger, russet potatoes, onions…I grab the sweet potato. I thought about making sweet potato chips, but then had this sense of familiarity….salad + sweet potatoes….I am missing something here….
(Roasted sweet potatoes, Baked with tofu. Spices: New Mexican Chili, Cayenne pepper, Chipotle powder, s+p, canola oil)
I know! baked tofu!! Hmmmm…this meal looks really familiar….I feel like I’ve seen it before, then I remember Em of Gliding Calm!
(fresh tofu marinated in soy sauce, sesame seed oil, black pepper, cayenne pepper. Baked 420F for 40 minutes)
This hit the spot perfectly! Thanks for the unconscious inspiration!




Wow, delicious eats! And mmm.. tazo tea!
