Saturday's for Clean Up with Clever Container

As I previously mentioned, I am merging my Clever Container blog into this blog. I figure since Saturday is a clean-up and clean-out day for most folks I'd give Saturdays to Clever Container.

If you are new to the blog and are not familiar with Clever Container, it is a direct sales company focused on home organization products. I have been a consultant since May 2011 was lucky enough to attend the first ever consultant conference and hoping to be able to hit the Nashville conference this year.

If you would like to browse the selection, place an order, whatever, hop over to http://www.CleverContainer.com/GetCleverNow  this is my personal consultant site and I do appreciate your business. If there is a party in the drop down, feel free to exercise a little random kindness and add your order to it.

The only thing I really have today...well.. two things.
  1. The giveaway is still going on here.
  2. February Special!





































Have a great day and don't work too hard!

Inexpensive, easy, and good...


...no I am not describing myself.

So somewhere between the Veggie White Castle and today, my hubby and I decided to do a week of vegetarian meals. I don't know if it was the meatless cart or the deals or a combination but our grocery trip came in way under normal.

I wasn't feeling a lot of prep or a lot of effort last night so I made an old favorite of mine called Carrot Tofu Scramble. It's really is simple and easy. One pound of shredded carrots, one pound of firm tofu drained and crumbled, 1/3 cup soy sauce, and a bit of sesame oil and sesame seeds if you've got them.

I used to have a huge skillet to make this in but now I just use my wok. I forget how much oil the original recipe calls for, I usually just eyeball it. Heat up the oil, throw in the carrots cook at medium high about 15 minutes. Throw in the tofu, go another five minutes until the carrots are soft. Add the remaining ingredients, serve hot. It 's recommended over rice. I used broken whole wheat linguine tonight.

I also didn't have sesame oil so I added 2 teaspoons of chili oil after I took out the boy's portion.  It came out great. I used to make this all the time when it was just me and the girl and I could get a couple of meals out of it. Thinking about it while I was cooking, it probably comes out to about a buck a serving to make this. It's hearty, it's tasty, it's easy, so why wouldn't you?

My cell phone camera really doesn't do this dish justice!
