A healthy vegan dish that compliments any meal. These crispy golden tofu croquettes are easy to make and work great as a freezer meal, too!

For years we have used paper plates to cut down on dishes… and well, let’s face it. Disposable is easier! A few weeks ago we ran out of paper plates, which was unusual because we are always stocked with them. So I used real plates. The strangest thing happened! I actually put more effort into the meal when I used ‘real’ plates! They aren’t anything fancy, they are cheapy’s from Walmart.

I felt like I cared more about the meal, like I wanted to ‘plate’ the food. It was the craziest thing! How in the world did using ‘real’ plates have any influence in my food preparation efforts?! Then I remembered when I discovered using a straw in my cup actually encourages me to drink more water! And it wasn’t just a thing in the moment, I’ve been drinking a lot more water throughout the day for years now all because of a silly straw!

The point is… keep trying new ways of doing things!
