Party Planning List

Party Planning List by Tracy Benjamin of @shutterbean and @thehandwritingclub Find the printable on Etsy!  

This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend and if you’re planning a get-together, things will run smoother if you make a Party Planning List. 

Last week I put together a succulent arrangement party with my friend Sonia for a school fundraiser. I’ve been out of practice throwing a get-together (like most!) and took it as a perfect excuse to get my house in order for company and make a list. If you plan to host some outdoor get-togethers this summer, here’s some inspiration!

Baked Tofu

Baked Tofu is a meal prep staple! Find the recipe for Baked Tofu by Tracy Benjamin of shutterbean- #shutterbeanmealprep

I added Baked Tofu to my meal prep many years ago and never posted how I do it here on Shutterbean. Time to change that!

Truth is, I never really follow a recipe. I just eyeball it. But here, I’ve written it up for you.

This Baked Tofu makes its way into salads, rice, stir fry, and sometimes I just eat them cold, from the pyrex dish I store them in. Baked Tofu is a cheap/healthy way to get some protein in your life!  I’m a huge fan.
