Delicious chewy chocolatey cookie bars made from simple ingredients including one boxed cake mix, chocolate chips, AND mini m&ms! – – Do you all remember that cake box cookie bars; recipe I shared a few weeks back? 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…

Delicious homemade fried chicken nuggets on mini waffles! These savory little bites are perfect topped with maple syrup for a little extra kick of sweet! – – Umg, these are the best things ever! They were a major hit at our Superbowl party! They do require some work, but I promise you they’re worth it! The chicken nugget recipe I used was adapted from Stephanie’s copy-cat chick-fil-a recipe at Stockpiling Moms. I actually happened to not have milk in my fridge, but luckily I keep buttermilk powder in my fridge as a backup, and it worked wonderfully in this recipe. I…

Delicious caramel apple cider sangria, festive for fall, but delicious all year round! – – Who doesn’t love apples? Who doesn’t love wine? Who doesn’t love putting the two together? If the answer is you, I’m not entirely sure why you’re reading this, but who am I to judge? First things first, chop some apples! I really liked having the mix of red and green apples for some extra color, so for this recipe I used red delicious and granny smith. If I had to pick one though, I’d go with the granny smith. I like the little bit sour…

Light and fluffy cookie bars made from simple ingredients including one boxed cake mix, chocolate chips, AND mini m&ms! – – I’ve been sick all week. And all I’ve wanted is comfort food. So what’s comforting? Chocolate! Of course. I mean this isn’t good for you, but it sure is delicious. It’s really a cross between a cake and a cookie. It’s so light and fluffy that it’s not really a cookie, but you can eat it with one hand without it crumbling, and it’s so festive with the chocolate chips and mini m&ms! 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…

Maple bacon is one of those trendy flavors right now and I have to say I don’t hate it. I’ve never been a huge maple person, especially next to say, my sister who could eat maple candies until the trees came home–that is to say, forever. Though she is particular about authenticity. In this case, unfortunately, I found that real maple syrup doesn’t add enough of an intense maple kick, so I had to out and spring for maple extract. Really, there’s not a good substitute. Potentially you might be able to concentrate traditional maple syrup by boiling it down,…

A delicious and simple meal, perfect for one or two people. Brussel sprouts cut thin and charred in a pan with mushrooms, tossed with raviolis in garlic butter sauce for a quick and delicious weeknight meal! – – I’ve been on a kick of dinners Tyler hates because he’s been gone on work so much! It’s like FREEDOM. Haha, not really there’s so much work to do around the house and I miss him a lot! But on the bright side I can make things for dinner without considering his preferences nearly so much which can be kind of nice…
