Buffalo Tofu Bowls with Lemon Orzo & Blue Cheese Dressing

June 14, 2019 No Comments

I like to think of today’s recipe as a random gift. This is one of those recipes that just sort of wandered into my head one day. I generally map out the content for the blog well in advance. But the moment my subconscious coughed up these Buffalo Tofu Bowls, they sailed straight to the top of my todo list. Why? Because any project that involves the use of condiments to excess is something I want to be a part of. Of course, the condiment in question is Frank’s RedHot and no, I’m not affiliated with the brand. But having said that, I would be willing to accept a crate of the stuff if they felt it was in their best interest to send it. Just saying.

Scallion Yogurt Rigatoni with Citrus Cured Egg Yolks

April 24, 2019 No Comments

Not all my ideas start out as good ones. Take this Scallion Yogurt Rigatoni for instance. Looks good, doesn’t it? Kind of classy even. I mean, it certainly wouldn’t be out of place in a date night scenario. Do you want to know how it started life? You probably don’t but I’m going to tell you anyway. This semi-elegant, all-over delicious pasta dish was originally a sorry substitute for sour cream and onion potato chips. I had a craving but I couldn’t justify caving. So, I did the next best thing, I channeled that craving into something equally cravable but a little more dinner appropriate: pasta.

Sweet Pea Tuna Lasagna

April 16, 2019 No Comments

There are many things in the world I choose to be snobby about but lasagna is not one. I may be picky about my scotch, my cheese plates, and my saltwater fishes. But lasagna? Naw! High brow, low brow, traditional or trendy – it doesn’t matter to me. I’ve never had a lasagna I deemed “inedible”. Anything with that much cheese and pasta is hard to hate. Now, of course, I know enough to know a truly outstanding lasagna when I’m fortunate enough to eat one. But do I care if it is a classic bolognese, béchamel affair or some outlandish combination? Nope! So, with my opinions on lasagna firmly established, allow me to introduce you to my Sweet Pea Tuna Lasagna. A spring-friendly lasagna seemingly filled with every “blasphemous” ingredient I could think of. Look away, lasagna purists. Look away!

February is always a slog for me. I imagine it is for a lot of people. It’s that special time when winter has taken its toll but there is still at least a solid month of it left. And honestly, making it to April is no guarantee. There is still a good chance a soul-crushing blizzard could hit over Easter. So, with the bleak status of my current state of mind firmly established, let me introduce you to the remedy – Short Rib Ravioli with Golden Tomato Sauce. The ravioli brings the comfort while Golden Tomato Sauce provides a burst of sunshine. A vibrant reminder that warmer weather and, yes, even tomato season will come again.
