Breakfast Tofu Scramble
Recipe of the Month: Breakfast Tofu Scramble
This is a delicious plant based breakfast scramble. There are many delicious variations. I am sharing this recipe from the Food For Life Program that I teach which is sponsored by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. While I often make this for breakfast I think it is just as tasty for lunch or dinner. I like to wrap the scramble in a warm tortilla!
