Everyone needs a classic guacamole recipe on hand, and tipsychocochip is here to deliver! Silky in texture and livened up with red onion, cumin, and tomatoes, here’s a perfect party recipe for when store-bought just won’t cut it! – – You really can’t get much better than a perfectly silky ripe avocado. It’s funny to me as I write this–I used to hate avocados. They seemed pointless to me, tasteless, and a weird texture. But I’ve come to really enjoy their subtle enhancements to dishes I already love. One of the reasons I even gave avocados a chance was cumin.…

I was pleasantly surprised at this meal from Hello Fresh (click here if you’re interested in a discount!). It’s name was “panko crusted cod”, which I don’t think does the recipe justice. It’s more interesting than just slapping some panko on cod! With a little wasabi-lime kick, it’s definitely something I’d consider making again! The side dishes were appropriately meh. They weren’t bad, but they also weren’t anything to write home about. Pretty much plain quinoa (I had to add some salt and herbs to liven it up), and a sautee of shallots, green beans, and tomatoes. Nothing too fancy, but…

This recipe for Beef Kofta is another hello fresh recipe. I got another coupon in my e-mail, and with my life being ever-crazy, I figured it would be nice to skip the grocery shopping and have meals already planned! So far I’ve tried hello fresh and blue apron by way of the food services. I’ll sum up: both are good and convenient. A little expensive for my taste, except when I get coupons in which case it’s a wonderful deal. If you want to read more in-depth, check out my detailed comparison post of both: huevos rancheros quesadillas. This recipe kinda followed the pattern with…

I hope that a lot of things on my blog look tasty. But if you’re feeling ambitious, THIS IS THE RECIPE FOR YOU. Note that with all the different components, it’s not really what I would consider an “easy” recipe. It’s definitely less stressful if tackled with a kitchen partner, or having made some of the ingredients in advance. A bunch of components can be made for other recipes earlier in the week, so this can be an awesome clean out the fridge recipe. Make the juicy lucy burger earlier in the week and save up the bacon jam. Make a tasty salami…

So today was game day! D&D Sunday as they usually happen to be, and instead of going all out to make all of the food, we did a potluck! It was wonderful–worked out perfectly. Zack made jalapeno poppers, Matt made quiche, and Dustin brought brownies! Tyler got away with nothing because he’s dating me, and I provided this awesome mediterranean dip! Plus he’s the DM so he has more work to do than the rest of us when it comes to preparing for D&D. This mediterranean dip recipe stems from Dara’s Healthy Mediterranean 7 Layer Dip over at Cookin’ Canuck, with a…
