This past Wednesday was National Cheese Day, so I obviously had to celebrate during my lunch hour. My first idea was to simply make a grilled cheese, but that’s no way to celebrate a holiday honoring the greatest food on the planet. I remembered I had some roma tomatoes and mozzarella left from a previous […]

I have no other means of describing this recipe other than “stupid good.” I am kicking myself for not making more of it, because it was so phenomenal. I’ve seen some gnocchi mac and cheese recipes before, but this one is a definite Pink Troll Kitchen/Danielle Kay original! Basil and white cheddar together are just […]

I made some oven-baked potato fries for the Super Bowl, and I have a giant bag of potatoes left over and need to do something with them before they start to look like science experiments. So, I decided to try this recipe I came across a couple weeks ago with my own modifications. Ingredients: 6 […]

I have a serious pesto obsession. I could bathe in pesto. You could make pesto with any ingredient in existence (cookie pesto?) and I’d probably eat it. I found this recipe for pea pesto a couple months ago, bookmarked it, and finally got around to making it, and it turned out wonderful! I mixed up the […]

But here’s the problem: basil pesto is mediocre at best unless it’s homemade. I tried pesto for the first time a couple years ago at a restaurant, and subsequently bought a […]

Who says chicken gets to have all the fun flopping around in a pile of breadcrumbs and cheese? Tofu wanted to join in the party, so I made it happen. I experimented with this on a whim, and it turned out great! When making dinner with your favorite carnivore, you can use exactly the same […]

This tasty pasta & veggies dish is so easy you won’t even break a sweat, unless your stove gives off more heat than your furnace like mine does. Everyone needs a couple “go-to” pasta and vegetable dishes, and this is one of mine. Easy Peasy Pasta (vegan if you skip the parmesan cheese): Pasta of […]

I have fond memories of eating grilled cheese as a child, and it’s one food that I’ve never gotten sick of and probably never will. As an “adult” I’ve revamped the grilled cheese to be even more delicious. Because I made this for lunch in the middle of the week I did not pair it […]
