Mark it in your calendars – Josh gets an “I told you so”. Ever since I met him in 2008, he has been going on and on about something called tater tot casserole. The idea of something that is just ground beef, condensed cheese soup, and potatoes sends shivers up my spine. Tater tots are definitely something I can get behind, though. Fun fact: I once received a bulk-sized package of frozen tater tots for Christmas. They may or may not have included a note that said “Napoleon, give me some of your tots”. I probably should stop there. But I’m going to keep going. That was the year I was taking high school Chemistry. We were paired up with a random classmate to make VSEPR models and for some reason,...
First, I want to apologize. I originally made this “chicken” salad back in August and have made it many times since then. The reason it hasn’t made an appearance yet is because I immediately inhale it before Josh can take pictures. Honestly, probably before I even assembled a decent looking sandwich. At least half goes directly into my mouth, no bread, no lettuce, no nothing. Don’t let tempeh scare you away. I know it can look pretty terrifying, but it really doesn’t have much flavor on its own, so it works pretty well in this salad with so many flavors. If I keep up the honesty from earlier, I should tell you I’ve never had real chicken salad. I’ve tried lots of recipes for vegetarian chicken salad, but they’re almost...
Hi everyone! Double recipe day, aren’t you lucky! I’m guest posting over at The Roasted Root with my Mexican Cabbage Soup. This soup is perfect in so many ways. Anything Mexican is an immediate win for me, but I also made this vegetarian (of course), vegan, gluten free, and in a slow cooker! Head on over and check out the recipe! And if you haven’t been to Julia’s blog before, click around. You’ll find lots of delicious recipes! Especially these GF brownies — I’ve made them like 12 times.
By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the Wild Blueberry Association of North America and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. When I was growing up, my grandpa had rows of blueberry bushes behind his house. When they were at their peak, we would get SO many and I could never get away from them. Once I had more of a say in what was made in the house, I never wanted to touch another blueberry (exceptions made for pancakes and muffins, only). When I bought the wild blueberries for this Recipe Redux recipe challenge, I wasn’t super excited about it. That changed once I tasted them. They’re nothing like the blueberries from my childhood. ...
When I was in college, I had to take a combination psychology and sociology class for my scholarship. While the class was very strange and interesting, it wasn’t the most fun I ever had. The professors required (Maybe it was voluntary? I can’t imagine I would’ve volunteered if I hadn’t been forced) that we go to some sort of sociology conference that my university happened to be hosting. When I got there, all of the vegetarian meal tickets had been taken. I was pretty reserved to the fact that I would just not get to eat all day, but during lunch I somehow got the waiter to either give me someone else’s vegetarian lasagna or to scrounge up an extra slice (Sorry if someone went hungry because I ate...
It’s no secret that I’m in love with barbeque sauce. I’ll stuff it in a quesadilla, flavor my enchiladas, or make a shredded veggie sandwich. No shame in my B-B-Q sauce game (sorry for that, so sorry). It’s probably also not a secret that I’m incredibly lazy and hate going to the grocery store. Anyone a professional grocery shopper? I’ll gladly use your services. What all that adds up to is that I normally end up throwing whatever is left in my pantry together, covering it in barbeque sauce, and calling it dinner. Some dinners are much less successful than others, but this was a winner. If it looks similar to my southwest couscous, that’s because I normally have the same throw together ingredients in my kitchen. The southwest couscous...
