There will be some definite changes in the recipes and beverages I post here, starting now! Last week I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, for which the only treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet. My coworker and wonderful friend, a 59-year-old man named Lonnie, made this news a lot easier to cope with by calling […]

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 […]

This might have been one of the most basic, but most delicious meals I’ve had in a while. I used two recipes I found on pinterest, and one of my own. Combined, they made a great twist on the classic “pasta, vegetable, bread” dinner combo. I made Parmesan & Garlic Linguine, Roasted Asparagus, and Parmesan […]

After my workout today I was craving all sorts of protein, but was without tofu! “WHAT EVER SHOULD I DO?!” I thought to myself. But not really. Anyway, I decided to make a delicious, healthy burrito packed with protein. Short on fat content, but not on taste! If you want to make this even healthier, […]

Three of my favorite foods: gnocchi, pesto, and spinach COMBINED. Although, it’s not really saying much, since most foods are my favorite foods (self-proclaimed food addict) except for meat (obviously) and mushrooms. Anyway, I love gnocchi but had never cooked it at home so I figured I’d give it a whirl instead of pasta. 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 […]

Dear everyone: you can stop googling “how to cook asparagus,” because I have a SUPER easy recipe right here! It is simple, delicious, and it’s a wonderful side with anything. Ingredients:  1 bunch asparagus spears, tough part of stem cut off 2 tbs butter OR 2 tbs olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tsp […]

This dish was a recipe of my own creation, and it combines food from three different cultures! I try to do this every once in a while, by throwing Italian ingredients in a quesadilla or taco, or by using Asian seasonings in a Middle Eastern dish, but I think this one might be my favorite […]

I came across a recipe for this “ice cream” a couple weeks ago, and it’s been on my mind ever since! If you leave out the chocolate chips on top, it’s vegan. Not to mention, super healthy and incredible delicious!   Ingredients: 1 frozen banana 2 tbsp cocoa powder 1 heaping tbsp creamy peanut butter […]

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 […]
