Deliciously flavorful tofu you can set and forget and once sauteed in a hot pan, you can serve over any starch or even eat it straight! – – Another highlight on my tour of things Tyler prefers not to eat–tofu!I actually really love tofu and I always forget until I discover it again. I love the silken tofu most of all, but of course it’s the hardest to work with. Firm tofu is fine, but definitely needs to be cooked. Honestly I could probably eat the silken stuff straight but that’s because it melts in your mouth. If you’re not…

Look familiar? I’ll give you a hint: I reviewed a dish quite like this last week from Kona Grill! Here’s my homemade take! The one bite I stole from one of my fellow bridesmaids K at the bachelorette dinner last weekend was so good I was still craving it two days later! So I tried to kinda make something up as I went. This was still quite tasty, and delicious, though of course not exactly the same. Definitely a keeper though! Pesto cream sauce with sausage medallions tossed with some spaghetti or linguine. Hope you enjoy! You’ll notice in this photo…

From the lady that made jalapeno popper stuffed bread before she made traditional jalapeno poppers, I give you baked jalapeno poppers! As I’ve said, you can thank my lack of spice tolerance for this delay. Somehow a dip that’s made much more of cream cheese and cheese and other goodies seemed less intense than jumping in full to jalapeno poppers. Plus the last batch I had were made by a lady who thought we all loved spice, and were a looooot too intense for me. Delicious, but mouth-on-fire delicious, and hence I had somewhat avoided these. Which is silly really, because when you’re…

I feel like I’ve been on a spicy kick recently. Between my jalapeño popper bread and trying some spicy BBQ sauces at Smoqued in Chicago (see my culinary adventure), I’ve been eating a bit more spicy food than I normally do, and I made buffalo mac ‘n cheese for dinner tonight! So I’m coming up in the spice world, apparently. I like this recipe because it’s really easy and simple, adapted from andiemitchell.com Perfect for making around playing Pokemon Go! Hahaha, yes, I am newly obsessed with the game, like pretty much everyone everywhere. I got a sweet vaporeon last…

This bread is ooey, gooey deliciousness. And I really do mean that, so watch out for some falling dip when you’re stuffing your face! My friends and I had a splat or two on the floor by the time we were done! But it was gobbled up in pretty much no time flat, let me tell you. It really is a quintessential appetizer recipe, and wouldn’t be a horrible pot luck recipe if you had access to a toaster oven, but it’s not really a make-and-carry recipe. It’s definitely better warm and fresh from the oven. We did another “Pokewine”…

This recipe is one of those easy, pretty, and tasty ones! This works with both spicy and sweet Italian sausage, as I’ve used both and it’s tasty both ways! I served Drunken Italian Noodles with homemade applesauce and Parmesan edamame beans! Growing up, my mom and I (and sometimes my sister) used to make applesauce all the time! (This batch was from my mom and she gave me so much, I’ll be eating it for days.) Basically, we would just cut up apples, stick ’em in a pot with a tiny bit of water to cover the bottom, and let…
