Breakfast Un-fried Rice

I love a good savory breakfast.  Eggs and potatoes are my staple brunch on the weekends.  But sometimes you need to mix it up and flip the tastebud script.  Fried rice already has egg, so that makes it breakfasty right?  Plus, I often have leftover rice from a weeknight dinner.  So really I am just …

Crispy Pan-fried Tofu

Let me start this post by saying, I missed y’all!  I have been a little lax, shall we say, in posting.  But I have a really good reason.  You see there are only so many hours in a day and with taking a summer class for a certificate program there just weren’t enough to work, …

Battle of the Dairy Free – Volume 2

On a spur of the moment trip to a different co-op, I found some new (to me) dairy-free yogurt!!  So naturally I had to get a few flavors to try.  I only got two flavors from each brand but they each had at least four varieties.  As sometimes the flavor of the yogurt can affect …

Antipasto Style Twice-Baked Potatoes

This recipe was inspired by this recipe by Paleo Running Momma.  Her recipe is great by the way (I promise I did make it once) but I found my own personal love of all things vinegar kicking in.  Well that and it we are honest, I can’t help but tinker with a recipe! While the …

Fruity Overnight Oats

Ok fine, I know it sounds a little weird but trust me on this one.  Orange juice in oatmeal is DELISH.  If you haven’t tried it already either, put orange juice in place of milk on your granola.  So stinking good.  This version of overnight oats is delightfully refreshing and fruity.  The fruit juice somehow …

Tofu “Egg” Salad

A number of years ago, a coworker gave me a recipe for tofu “egg” salad that I really enjoyed.  I did post  version of this back in 2015, but I have made some changes to this in the time being.  This version is slightly creamier and more acidic with the addition of the lemon juice. …

Banana Bread Cookies

Each month, some friends and I get together for dinner.  We rotate who hosts so that no one is required to cook all the time.  This tradition has been going on for about eight or nine years at this point.  Over time, it is fairly easy to figure out what favorites are.  In this case, …

Kaltenburg by Marcel Beyer

Recently, while skimming through the library shelves, I came across a book that sounded interesting and unlike most fiction I have read.  Per the dust jacket, it was a book that told the story of an ornithologist as he lived through World War II and the Cold War in Germany and West Germany.  Now I …

Souped Up Guacamole

Dear Avocado, You make diary free not miserable, you add amazing flavor to enchiladas, you work for every meal and snack times in between.  You go on toast, on eggs, as guacamole, with orange slices…I have to stop before I drool on my keyboard. Like many of you, I adore avocado.  The moral of this …

How to Remove Lettering from Glass

Does anyone else get those commemorative glasses with logos on them and think “oh what a nice glass, too bad it has a logo”?  Or am I the only one?  I do not know why but I really don’t like patterns or logos on most of my glasses.  Except for my Star Wars ones, I …
