Spiced Tofu Tacos
Hi!!!
Cooking is definitely a meditation for me. During this week, we have been asked to self isolate, and I have been cooking up a storm!
My gratitude this week has expanded as I feel the blessings I have to be in a safe, beautiful home. Really taking this time to slow down, dive inward, share my offerings virtually and spend time doing things I love as I spend my time at home. It has been quite the week with many different energies circulating the world… I am sending so much love to you!
So lets dive into this recipe- one of my favourite brunch meals- tacos. Today, I used tofu and veggies as the filling and it was delicious. It was a simple combination of some of my favourite vegetables which are sweet potato and red cabbage.

3) Add the thinly sliced red cabbage and cook until tender.
