The Challenge

30 days of plant-based foods, including plenty of fruits and vegetables, grains and legumes and no meat, dairy, eggs or animal products. Yes, we bribed them with rewards at the end of the 30 days and no, we are no expecting them to be 100% perfect. During the 30 days, we have a Superbowl Party, a Birthday, Valentine's Day and numerous kids parties and class parties.

Day 26 More Cupcakes!

The boys had a cub scout Blue and Gold dinner tonight and everybody was supposed to bring a decorated cake to share.  We did some crazy yummy chocolate cupcakes with peanut buttery frosting; they were pretty remarkable!  The theme for the dinner was All American, so they did hamburgers and hot dogs.  We figured it would be something out of our realm, so we had dinner before we went and just enjoyed the veggie platter and some fritos.  Fritos, by the way, are so dang good and are pretty incredibly basic.  The ingredients are, I think, 3 things: corn, oil and salt.  Not too bad, I thought.



Our dinner was tofu tacos and I think they are a dish we will keep long-term.  The kids all really like them and they come together in  all of 5 minutes.  I just stir-fried crumbled tofu with some taco seasonings and salsa while dad grilled up some corn tortillas and we had them with shredded lettuce and tomatoes and Daiya cheese.  Simple and seriously good, so that worked well on (yet another!) busy night!
