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…

We’ve set a date for our wedding, and while October 2018 is over a year away, I really need to do better about my eating habits. I was doing pretty good there for a while with recipes like vegetarian samosa burritos (tcc recipe), and rainbow vegetable pad thai (tcc recipe), but I’ve been pretty lax the past few months with the stress and business of buying a house and traveling up to NJ to look at wedding venues in addition to normal life. So this was an attempt to…

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.
