Gluten Free Monday {12 Days of Christmas Day 11}

Welcome to Gluten Free Monday and

Day 11 of the 12 Days of Christmas!

Today, I'm excited to introduce Rachael, from Determined Darling.  Rachael always has great gluten-free recipes to share, and I'm so happy to have her here on OneCreativeMommy.com!

I’m Rachael from Determined Darling, saving the earth one veggie at a time! I strive to live a life that is healthy, green, and fun! Most of the time you’ll find me in my kitchen cooking yummy gluten-free, vegan recipes with fresh, organic, local ingredients. If I’m not there then you’ll find me outside running, in my garden, thrifting, or curled up on my couch with my pup and Mr. Darling. I am determined to prove that cooking fresh, vegan, gluten-free food can be fun, delicious and good for the earth!

I am so grateful to be part of OneCreativeMommy.com's   12 Days of Christmas along with all the other darling bloggers that have joined this fun event.  I am extra excited to be part of Gluten Free Monday one of my favorite link parties!  Today I am sharing my Christmas Vegan Scramble.

One of my favorite things about Christmas is having Christmas breakfast with my Dad. It’s a tradition I still cherish today. This year I thought I would whip up a yummy vegan tofu scramble.

Christmas Scramble (GF, Vegan)

Perfectly seasoned tofu with lots of veggies makes the perfect Christmas breakfast and gives you energy for a long Christmas day.

12 Days of Christmas Day 10 {Beaded Christmas Garland}

DIY Beaded Garland

I'll share this tutorial in just a minute, but first . . . . In light of the recent events in Connecticut, I hope you all had plenty of chances to hug your children yesterday.  My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Newton.  Who could have imagined such a horrible tragedy?  Like you, I feel so helpless, and I wish I could do something to help.  Several bloggers are putting their heads together to think of something.  I'll let you know details as I find out.

On a happier note, I'm excited to welcome my next guest--Meredith, from Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home!  (Her site is host to two of my very favorite projects--the Mad Planter and the Fabric Covered Crate Seat.  I didn't realize they were both from her site until today, but they are some of the very first projects I pinned when I started blogging.)  Here she is:
