Crispy Tofu Tacos

Since Cinco de Mayo is only two days away I HAD to share this amazing taco recipe with you.When I first told my family I was making tofu for dinner, you could see the abject horror in their eyes. “Tofu???” they shrieked, “Gross!”Nope. Not the way I make it. A lot of people are surprised to hear I actually like tofu because I’m a die-hard meat-eater. But tofu, made properly, is delicious!Plus? Tofu is an incredibly affordable protein source. When you’re feeding a family, affordability is important. That’s why I started making my own energy balls as a substitute for those expensive protein bars.Here's my recipe for the most delicious crispy tofu tacos, perfect for Taco Tuesday, Meatless Monday, and will make even the pickiest eater ask for seconds.

Paleo Protein Waffles

There’s nothing more important than a good breakfast, and it doesn’t get much better than these Paleo Protein Waffles!When it comes down to it, I would eat breakfast for every meal if I could. Growing up, breakfast for dinner was always the best and something fun I looked forward to. Not to mention, every Sunday we would do a big breakfast sprawl full of pancakes, bacon and more. Now, while I love a good pancake, I’m 100% a waffle person. There’s just something about the crunch of the waffle that I love.Whether you’re a waffle or pancake person, I can guarantee you’re going to love this Paleo Protein Waffle recipe! Not only is it so easy to make but it also tastes amazing. These waffles are loaded with peanut butter, paleo flour, and vanilla protein powder to make delicious, crunchy waffles. All you need are a few ingredients and a waffle iron to get cooking!

Cake Mix Chocolate Waffle Cake

Was in a conundrum the other week – I SUPER wanted to bake a cake, and had a free afternoon. The down side….it was already almost 90 degrees outside, and forecasted to hit almost 100 before the end of the day.Who wants to turn on their oven in that weather?? Yuck.Fortunately….a Pinterest board I’d seen earlier in the week came to the rescue and gave me an idea. Waffle cakes are apparently a much more popular thing than I’d realized, and waffles don’t need an oven to make!I’d heard you can make waffles from cake mix, and I had a couple of chocolate cake mixes on hand – and that’s how the cake came to be!

Quick Yeast Flatbread

Over the past year, I’ve really gotten into making yeasted dough and I’m so glad I did. I remember 10-15 years ago when I was just venturing into baking and was so intimidated by yeast. Is the water warm enough to bloom the yeast? Did it rise enough? And, unlike baking quick rise breads, you can’t test if it’s done by sticking a toothpick in it. It just seemed so daunting and stressful to me. Now, yeasted doughs are almost second nature to me. I recall making chicken souvlaki skewers, lemon potatoes and Greek salad for dinner one night only to suddenly remember that I forgot to pick up some pita bread. I quickly whipped up a batch of this quick rise flatbread and cooked them in the cast iron. They turned out so well that I tested the recipe a few more times over a week and this recipe was born. I hope you like it as much as I do! Sometimes, I will stuff them with fillings and they are just so good!

Fancy Lox & Toast

Let me just say, I've never really "gotten" the whole charcuterie craze...like, why pile your pancakes on a cutting board with bacon and eggs and stuff...won't it all get cold by the time you serve it? Sorry, but I have to be honest! However, they do seem so fun to make, and with this combination, I normally put it out on a dish, or in individual dishes anyway, so I figured, "Why not try it out charcuterie-style?". And as you can see, it was pretty photogenic. The only thing that really can be classified as a "recipe" here, is the homemade whipped cream cheese...and that's just too easy. It's also ESSENTIAL to the flavor profile of this brunch. So keep reading, and get your charcuterie on!

The BEST Chip & Veggie Dip

I've been eating this dip since I was a toddler. It's a long time family classic! Be ready for it to become a party favorite.

We love it with a classic potato chip, but it's also super tasty with chopped veggies like carrots, celery and cucumbers. Ditch that store bought ranch dip! Once you try this dip you'll never go back.

Lilac Cupcakes With Lilac Buttercream Frosting

These Lilac Cupcakes with Lilac Buttercream have a subtle floral flavor and aroma that makes the most beautiful and delicious treat.

I always find this is perfect for my house (mostly for me so I don’t eat them all 😂). If you want more cupcakes, feel free to double this recipe and you are good to go.

Chewy Banana Mochi Rolls

Growing up, it was always a treat when my parents brought my brother and I to one of the Chinese bakeries in town. The smell of pastries was always wonderful and we would stare endlessly at the display of cakes, cookies, pastries, and breads. One of my favorite treats were these chewy banana mochi rolls. I love the chewy texture of mochi and it is one of major weaknesses! I do remember these rolls with a very artificial banana flavoring so with my recipe I opted to use fresh bananas. I don’t see these chewy banana rolls anymore in the bakeries in town. Perhaps, they are just not as popular anymore so the bakeries stopped making them. But, to me they will always bring back memories from my childhood. I hope I can inspire you to make these from scratch if you remember them from your childhood as well.

I can whip this cake up on the fly and it’s delicious. It has just the right amount of sweetness with a deliciously chocolatey flavor. The cake also has a really nice crumb. It’s not super crumbly or heavy, but it’s not so light you feel like you’re eating air. I paired this cake with a tasty caramel buttercream. It would also be delicious with a chocolate buttercream as well. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Stir-fried Beets, Beet Greens and Tofu

I didn’t used to like beets, but over the last few years, I have come to love their earthy flavor, stunning natural color and extreme textural versatility, not to mention their seemingly endless health benefits. For vegans, beet varieties have the ability to pose as entirely different foods like sushi, burgers, and even “Beet Wellington”. I also love that since the roots, stalks, and greens are all edible and quite tasty, beets alone can provide an entire dish of three contrasting textures and flavors.I love adding tofu and tempeh to my veggie and grain-based vegan dishes, and this combo of tofu and beets was inspired by Martha Rose Shulman at the NY Times. It is quite a typical stir-fry with flavors of ginger, garlic, sesame and soy, with the welcome addition of Red and Golden beets, a pinch of crushed red chilis, and cilantro! This Stir-Fry is very quick, and works equally well on its own, or served over rice or quinoa.

Sloppy Joes

From Googling, a cook named Joe in a cafe in Sioux City, Iowa added a tomato sauce to a loose meat sandwich.

Browned beef is mixed with onion and green pepper and simmered in a sweetened tomato/ketchup sauce.So, why not feel like a kid again and serve up a Sloppy Joe for dinner tonight?
