I am ALL ABOUT creating restaurant-worthy meals at home. Yes, it is definitely super nice to go out to eat (don’t get me wrong). No trips to the grocery store, time spent preparing food, no mountains of dishes and a nice change of scenery. But, sometimes, cooking in your pajamas with a glass of wine that…

Easy Honey Buffalo Cauliflower “Wings”: Lightly Breaded Cauliflower Florets, Covered in a Delicious Honey Buffalo Sauce and Baked to Crisp Perfection
First of all (I’ll admit) – these turned out WAY better than I expected them too! They were so good that I wiped through an entire tray with three other people in less than a half hour. So, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. I actually don’t really like cauliflower (unless it’s blended into a soup or…

What’s better than breakfast tacos? Probably very few things.

I love a good lasagna. It’s one of the ultimate comfort foods (at least for me). This version is my “easy, fast and healthy” recipe, and I adore it so much I have been known to make it for both lunch and then again for dinner (this may or may not have happened yesterday…again). Also…
Vegan Breakfast Scramble Bowl: Curry Tofu, Onions, Peppers, and Cherry Tomatoes, Side of Salad and Vegan Bread and Butter
Some of you (if you went to Susquehanna University or a neighboring university) may remember the Cherry Alley Cafe in Lewisburg, PA. Sadly, it is now closed (I still have my fingers crossed someone will buy it and reopen it SOON). One of my FAVORITE brunches to get there was the tofu scramble – it…
