Let’s face it, some dishes are about the sauce. I never realized until I started following @itsmetinx (who I’m obsessed with) that some people are just like insane sauce/condiment enthusiasts. I am one of those people! Yes the tofu is an important, and delicious, part of this recipe, but it’s really the tangy AF umamiContinue reading “Sesame-Crusted Tofu with Thai Dipping Sauce”

Butternut Squash Ravioli with Bacon Brown Butter
Apple picking. Cozy sweaters. Bronzed leaves. There is so much about the beginning of Fall that I love (besides from my birthday), but just as some people anticipate that first Pumpkin-Spiced Latte, I crave that first fall stuffed pasta. My Italian butcher has a great selection of homemade raviolis, but trust me, any store-bought ravioliContinue reading “Butternut Squash Ravioli with Bacon Brown Butter”
Grandma Lila’s Spinach Squares
Growing up, it was a good night when Mom put a Stouffer’s Spinach Soufflé in the toaster oven.

After getting married, and having to start splitting holidays betweenContinue reading “Grandma Lila’s Spinach Squares”
Pancetta Penna ala Vodka
Everyone’s favorite Penne ala Vodka is very easily made using a store-bought vodka, which if you read my site religiously (A. Thank You and B.), you know I’m totally a fan of taking shortcuts.

Grilled Cauliflower Steaks with Tahini
Usually when we think of grilling we think of quick and easy. Grilling cauliflower steaks does NOT fall into the category of a quick fix, but roasting cauliflower in a conventional oven takes some time too.

Grilled Lobster Tails
Grilling lobster SOUNDS simple – just throw the tails on the BBQ like you would do a shell-on shrimp but, no! When heated, the lobster tails actually curl up and because the shells are so thick it takes a while for the meat to actually cook through, and then you have the arduous task ofContinue reading “Grilled Lobster Tails”

Sautéed Sichuan String Beans
If you are like me, I feel like 90% of my purchases come from targeted Instagram ads at this point.

I could go on for days how often I use this sauce now,Continue reading “Sautéed Sichuan String Beans”
