Well, I had the brilliant idea to use brownie mix this time around! And it works just as great with some chocolate pudding mix, and all the rest of the same ingredients. It’s still easy, it’s still delicious, and it’s even more chocolatey! In fact I bet this recipe could be adapted to pretty much any flavor of boxed cake mix. Red velvet…

Honestly, my thought while making these…

Deliciously flavorful tofu you can set and forget and once sauteed in a hot pan, you can serve over any starch or even eat it straight! – – Another highlight on my tour of things Tyler prefers not to eat–tofu!I actually really love tofu and I always forget until I discover it again. I love the silken tofu most of all, but of course it’s the hardest to work with. Firm tofu is fine, but definitely needs to be cooked. Honestly I could probably eat the silken stuff straight but that’s because it melts in your mouth. If you’re not…

Need your chocolate fix? Well, it’s time to get slutty with all your favorite desserts! A chocolate chip cookie layer, followed by oreos, and topped off with a decadent layer of brownie. – – Slutty brownies bring me wayyyyy back to college. I think it was my friend Jackie who first introduced me…when we weren’t eating cookie dough straight out of the tub. Though of course with these you can always snitch some out of the tub while you’re making it. Two desserts for the price of one! Now of course, if you wanna be classy about it all, you can…

For this version I used…

We rarely make s’mores…

If sushi is intimidating to you like it is to me, then try out this easy alternative! Layers of shrimp, avocado, cucumber, and rice, topped with a savory sriracha mayo makes for an easy at-home sushi substitute! – – If you’re like me, homemade sushi is intimidating. Not because I think the steps are ultimately hard in of themselves, but because it seems like you need so many special ingredients and tools. For me, namely the bamboo mat and the nori (seaweed). Those are two things I don’t typically have on hand, and lucky for me, this recipe by Gina at…
