Tofu scramble with tomatoes, spinach, onions and Field Roast Sausage, oven roasted home fries and fresh squeezed OJ!

When I wake up, on the way to the kitchen to make breakfast, I usually turn on the computer.  However, yesterday as I went to press the button and I remembered something my sister told me about trying a "Media Free Day" and so I didn't press that button, just continued on to the kitchen and slowly and mindfully made an awesome brunch; tofu scramble, home fried potatoes and fresh squeezed orange juice which we sat down to eat at 9:30.  9:30!  On a Sunday!  IF I had turned the computer on, I would have, no doubt, been sucked in to email, facebook, blogs, etc. and we would have eaten probably an hour later than we did.  Slowing down gave me the great idea to soak the Field Roast sausage in a little maple syrup.  YUM!     Taking it slow also made the whole process of cooking more enjoyable.  I was able to savor the meal twice!  Once while cooking and again while eating!  With a full tummy and a clean kitchen I read my book, Isla played and Corey was on the computer(I had kept my Media Free choice to myself).  Later, Isla and I went to the park where she played in the water fountain, then home for a nap.  I made bean soup(Monday's dinner), played bocci ball in the backyard and walked to Tacos Por Favor for dinner.  There were a few tempting moments when I thought "I could just sit and check my email...." but I didn't.  And I was so glad that I didn't.  There was something freeing about not getting sucked into the computer for a day.  I recommend you try it! :)  BUT when Isla went to bed we did watch and episode of "Pillars of the Earth"  so I guess it wasn't a completely Media Free Day.  But I still felt really good about it!  Thanks for the suggestion, Sarah!  I will definitely try it again, and maybe even suggest Corey tries, too!
Here's the recipe for tofu scramble.  I like it even better than scrambled eggs because it doesn't have that weird egg smell....and it doesn't get stuck to the bottom of your pan!  It's great for weekends, but simple enough for any day of the week!    Also fun for a "Breakfast for Dinner" night.  I love those...
