Tofu Enchiladas

My mom has been making tofu enchiladas for years.  They're one of my fave's, so I decided to make them yesterday for "Meatless Monday".  I didn't have the recipe on hand, so I improvised and changed a few things.  Lately I have been limiting my intake of cow's milk.  I don't think I'm completely lactose intolerant, but I have been feeling better since I've cut back.  So I used cheddar and a hard goat cheese (normally we use cheddar and jack).  Here's the (rough) recipe I used yesterday...

1 pkg corn tortillas
1 pkg firm tofu
green bell pepper
onion
garlic
black olives
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp ancho chille powder
1 tsp chipotle chilli powder
enchilada sauce (my mom makes it, this time I used the can)
grated cheddar and hard goat cheese

Saute the onion and garlic in oil.  Add diced bell pepper and olives.  Squeeze water out of tofu and add to pan.  Saute on low and add chilli powders, salt and pepper.  Pour some sauce into pan.  Warm 2 tortillas at a time and spoon filling into them, roll and place in dish.  Continue to do this until you fill the dish.  Pour remaining sauce on top and sprinkle cheese.  Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.  Enjoy!

She, He, Them

 The world we live in was built on the Patriarchy and it bleeds into everything, especially religion and faith.  Growing up in the Christian church, I thought that was how it should be because that's what I was told to believe.  If you ever for one second questioned that, you were headed down a "slippery slope".  I remember one day my dad asked me "What if God is a woman?" and you would think by my reaction that he had asked me to commit murder.  That's how deeply entrenched I was in the idea that God is and must be and can only be a man.  Fast forward about 30 years and last weekend on Mother's Day I'm sitting in my mom's church (Normandy Park United Church of Christ), celebrating "Mother Earth Sunday" and singing:  "She's got the whole world in her hands, she's got the whole world in her hands..." The idea that God is only Father can actually be very hard for people that have never had a close relationship with their...

My Calling

Leave it to a Taylor Swift docuseries to give me an earth-shattering revelation.  If you know me well or have read my blog, you will know about my very long struggle with vocation and what that means for me.  When I was around five, I wanted to "cut hair".  Flash forward to early college, I wanted to do youth ministry which turned into music which turned into I should just graduate already.  I had a string of random jobs to help pay the bills while we started to grow our family.  As I got older, I started to wonder "what am I doing with my life"?  I regretted being in debt for college when I wasn't "using" my degree to make money.   At one point I thought it might be fun to go to massage school and maybe that's something I could be good at.  Then when we were in Iowa, I realized I had a strong passion for social justice and began a certificate program but only took one class because we had to move pretty suddenly.  Once we got back to Se...
