Your toddler will love veggies!

March 12, 2020 by Ivy Chan

My wonderful birthing experience: How was it possible?

January 3, 2019 by Ivy Chan

A Mother is Born Dear friends, I am writing these in between the feedings and the soothings and the cooings and the suckings and the cries of a newborn. Yes, our little ‘Blueberry’ is finally with us. He is already going through a growth spurt which is causing much-dreaded sleep-deprivation and complete lack of socialization…

Pregnant, Exhausted, in Pain? You might want to Read this

December 3, 2018 by Ivy Chan

Hello everyone! This must have been the longest break from you! Thank you for still being here and ‘listening’ to what I have to say. This third-trimester business is exhausting!

HELLO REAL LIFE!

Welcome! My name is Ivy. I am an academic by training and a foodie at heart, in a small but mighty body. Classical with a twist, married to the love of my life, a proud mum of two little lions, and one little human. We are currently living in Berkeley, CA. When I am not dreaming of the grey skies of Scotland, I read, write, bake, play with the babe, and consume more Medjool dates and dried figs than anyone I know.

Shakingmytofu aims to make plant-based life convenient, affordable, and adaptable for everyone. I will be happy if I can bring light, peace, wellness, and mindfulness in our daily lives. Feel free to spend time, have a look at the recipes, lists of plant-based sources (from snacks to clothing), images, and articles. Contact us anytime with queries, suggestions, and collaboration ideas at shakingmytofu@gmail.com or simply by filling out the form below. Look forward to hearing from you!
