‘Tis the season for soup…and all the things that get dunked in said soup! Although, I’m sure my fellow gluten-free people have noticed that all the great food for soup-dipping contains gluten. Sigh… Usually with tomato soup I go for a grilled cheese with GF bread for dunking, but wanted to change it up this […]

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 […]

Vegan friends, I’m sorry about this one. It’s almost sinfully cheesy…no it is sinfully cheesy. Ingredients 4 green bell peppers 3 cups cooked rice 3/4 cup sour cream (I use Tofutti vegan sour cream) 1 tomato 1/2 sweet onion 1 clove garlic 7 oz queso or 2 cups shredded cheddar 1/4 cup shredded jack cheese […]

Over a year ago I posted one of my favorite recipes of all time, and it’s one of those dishes that I can never get sick of…baked mac & cheese with broccoli. I make this dish on a very regular basis, so it was one that definitely had to undergo a transformation when I went […]

I always see recipes for foods and sauces made with beer, and I thought ‘Hey, I love beer! I want to try that!” So I did. The dish I created mixed ziti with a beer cheese sauce, pan-fried tofu, and broccoli. Recipe below! (Also, this will likely be the last ever non gluten-free recipe I […]

Despite my crazy love for potatoes, I have somehow never cooked twice-baked potatoes at home! I changed that today. Didn’t do anything fancy, just made some straight up, twice-baked taters. And they were incredible. The recipe is way easier than I would have expected! Ingredients: 4 large potatoes olive oil 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 […]

This is a healthier, nutritious, and possibly more delicious take on your favorite meal as a kid: Kraft Mac and Cheese and Ore-Ida fries that Mom cooked in the oven. Sorry Ma, but we’re ditching the neon orange cheese and preservatives this time. So here’s your favorite lunch revamped: mac & cheese from scratch with tofu […]

I’m a quesadilla nut. I’m not sure why but something about the crispy tortilla and melty cheesy goodness just makes me drool…to the point where I used to make quesadillas for breakfast…and lunch…and dinner. Thankfully I’m out of that phase, but quesadillas are still a go-to quickie meal for me. The spinach and black beans […]

I am the worst offender when it comes to being a lazy chef. I always want a delicious, non-frozen, healthy meal from scratch, but sometimes it is just way too hard to get off the couch. Today was one of those days, so I solved my paradoxical food problem with the Southwestern Bowl. This recipe […]

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 […]
