Nourishing Scrambled Tofu

It appears the leaves have reached their peak here in Vermont. What a spectrum of colors our eyes feasted on. From yellow to orange, gold and crimson, it was amazing! So with the landscape fading I have decided to do a Post Peak Brunch this coming weekend. I am planning to serve, Polenta with kernels of Corn and Leeks, Sautéed Greens, Apple Cinnamon Muffins and the star of the show, my savory Scrambled Tofu!

To make things simple, upon rising I will measure out and dry roast the Polenta, setting it aside to cook later. Wash and cut all of the vegetables, measure out the ingredients for the Muffins and crumble the Tofu. Then it's off to the Park with our dog Jack, returning home for a shower and begin to orchestrate my symphony of aromas and flavors!
