Tofu is like a blank canvas. Its (mostly) tasteless and semi-solid texture can take on many forms and flavors. While tofu is not necessarily a whole-food we do occasionally use it. One of my favorite forms of tofu is a breakfast tofu scramble.

In the Peterson house we have kicked our Wheaties (traditional cold cereal) to the curb and have a new weekday breakfast tradition that’s super easy, healthy, filling and delicious! It’s packed with fresh fruit, whole grains, healthy fats, protein – it’s everything you need to start your day!

A few weeks ago while visiting a friends house the hostess brought out some tall glasses of a semi-clear liquid with ice cubes. With out stretched glass she asked, "want some Ginger Beer"? No thanks I don't drink I answered. The hostess chuckled and replied that this was, "dry" beer and was simply a Gingery drink.

When it comes to blenders I am pretty partial. I love my Vita-Mix blender! While at Costco the other day I witnessed a Blendtec demonstration and while I am not going to trade in my Vita-Mix for a Blendtec watching the demo did open my mind to other blenders.

The Vita-Mix and Blendtec are pretty high end appliances, each costing around $400. But what about lower end blenders...are there affordable blenders that perform well? The answer is yes!
