To go along with my Tofu nuggets for dinner tonight. I also used grapeseed oil to make green bean fries.
I poured a bag of frozen whole green beans into hot grapeseed oil. Cook until they are dark green and skinny. (about 20 minutes) use a slotted spoon to remove and place on paper towels to cool for about 3 minutes. Lightly salt.
Yum!

Tofu nuggets
This is a very frugal, quick, and healthy meal that my kids love!
Tofu is just over $1 a block.
Ingredients:
Organic Extra-firm Tofu
1/2 cup of corn meal
2 T granulated garlic
1 t salt
grapeseed oil
Chop tofu into cubes
Combine cornmeal, garlic, and salt in a zip lock bag
Seal and shake the bag
Heat grapeseed oil on the stove. You need enough oil to cover the nuggets, about 3/4 inch.
Add Tofu cubes to ziplock bag; shake until all the cubes are coated.
Add 1/2 the cubes to hot oil. Cook until they are golden brown. Remove from oil using a slotted spoon. Place on a paper towel. Repeat with the other half of cubes.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Serve with ketchup.

Divine Appointments
I believe in divine appointments. Yesterday my plans changed a little bit and I was intending to go to Target around 12:00 and then go swimming at a friend's house. My friend called and asked if we could come later because she had to clean out the pool. So, we decided to go to Target earlier and then eat lunch.
Target is always an adventure for us. Two kids get buckled into the giant kid cart that is hard to maneuver around the store. I have a list of things to get. The kids always distract me. BUT, I LOVE shopping at Target and prefer getting whatever I can get at that store instead of anywhere else.
Our adventure around the store led us to the right aisle at the right time. We were looking for a small storage shelf to house some things in the boys' new room. We had to excuse ourselves around several other people's carts while we were browsing and trying to find the best storage option for the boys. We ended up in a aisle with a mother and her children. This woman was bold enough to ask me if I adopted our children. And, as you all know, all 4 are adopted.
As we were talking, I found out that she is waiting to adopt a child as well and that she also homeschools. What an amazing encouragement to my day! In the months following my Hazel, my best friend, moving across the ocean, I find that God is really taking care of me and sending me little encouragements along the way.
