Every morning around 6am my alarm clock goes off.

It starts quietly and gets progressively louder and more annoying if I try to fall back to sleep. I’m usually in the middle of some random dream and I think about it for a few minutes as I try to will myself back to sleep. If my alarm clock fails to rise me, it has no choice but to resort to other methods: walking up the length of my body, kneading my stomach and chest with sharp nails (ow!) , purring – inflected as if it’s a question, and shooting laser beams through my eyelids to will them open. No matter what, do not open your eyes. If you do, it’s over. Meet my alarm clock – highly reliable with a 0.000001% fail rate.

Vegan Tofu Benedict

My first breakfast is usually around 6:30 when Eden wakes up. I eat a quick bowl of cereal or oatmeal while working as quickly as possible to get coffee brewing. My desperation for coffee is a bit ironic, since I’m just drinking decaf right now. Regardless, it’s the ritual of that first cup of coffee that makes me feel normal. My life has fallen into a rather nice routine of late. Somewhere around my lap around the park this second baby wakes up – the one inside of me – and wants to eat! This Tofu Avocado Benedict was a result of second breakfast this week and it surely did satisfy. Cocoa-Almond Breakfast Cookies (Vegan & Gluten Free!)
