Adam is working late tonight, so I took full advantage of this fact and made something with mushrooms, which he hates, so I rarely get to eat them! I went on another excursion to Woodman’s for groceries, and was thrilled to see they had beautiful mushrooms, HUGE sweet potatoes, and amazingly odd-shaped strawberries:
These are enormous too!
For dinner, I made a batch of spicy baked tofu and creamy polenta and sauteed some mushrooms and stirred them into the polenta… IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I love mushrooms, and I think I’ve decided I’m going to use them in things for myself more often!
I know, it looks like scrambled eggs
I was in a super-ginormous funk yesterday, and came to a conclusion: I need a vacation! I’m about 90% sure I’m going to be booking a flight to San Antonio, Texas on Friday after I get paid!!! I have a good friend there, and it’s warmer there than it is here, and thats what I need! I’ll keep you all posted…but just know: there will be some killer eats if I go!
Have a great night!
xoxo,
Those strawberries are HUMONGOUS! Tofu and polenta togetherl?! Why have I not thought of that?! What a great idea to combine two amazing flavors
I actually had mushrooms in my salad tonight and thought that I’m going to start using them more often, too! Perhaps in this same exact way, haha.

You aren’t the only one who needs a vacation, trust me! Alas, I don’t see any in my near future.
Those are some crazy looking strawberries. But as long as they taste good, that’s all that matters. And I so need to get off my butt and make polenta, especially since it’s soft!

Mara,
I love mushrooms too – all kinds. I don’t understand how people can’t like them. They’re crazy.
Get out of town my friend. Vacations can be such a source of healing. I hope you make it to San Antonio. Such a cool city!

OH man what a fabulous idea to go on vacation!! I’ve been dying to escape this terrible cold (CRUISE?!?!?!) but so far have been too stingy to shell out any dough for a cruise with my boyfriend! hahahaha
I’m a big fan of those giant strawberries even though they’re shaped funky! hahaha
Hope your Tuesday is rocking and your funk is going away dear!
