Sometimes, you're just tired of eating potatoes as a side dish. And maybe you're a bit over eating roasted or veggies. And you can only steam for so long before you turn into a personal sauna.
I've wanted to make something different for a while but you know, lazy. I finally decided, okay, I'm going to make this and hopefully it won't suck.
Enter broccoli tots.
Now, as a warning, I do

I decided to try something different for my vegan tastes. (For those new to the blog, I'm not vegan but I do make a lot of plant-based and vegan dishes because my body likes it).
I really did like this recipe, though I thought the sodium content was a wee bit high for my taste (and I didn't use that much salt). I did make it a little more spicy
Okay, so I'll admit - I never had avocado toast. I never had any interest. While I can see the hype of it and how certain restaurants are making an absolute killing of them, I don't see how anyone can pay for it.
For one, I can make it at home. And two, well, I have a hard time shelling out $10+ for something I can, well, make at home.
Disclaimer: Though I usually post a lot of vegan and vegetarian dishes, the following dish is NOT vegan.
My husband is Ukrainian. Russian-Ukrainian-Polish-Slavic and whatever else is in that Heinz 57 goodness of him. I have to admit, though we've been together for a long while, I haven't been making that many Ukrainian or Russian dishes. Yes, I'm a bad wife on that part. But I'm getting better!
I wanted to
I'll be very clear - I'm not vegan. I have no desire to become vegan, but I do have a lot of respect of those who are vegan. And I have to admit - vegan food has definitely benefited my health. I've lost weight, I have more energy, and I feel better overall. That's why I keep preparing vegan dishes and sharing with you all what I find or
On our quest on eating healthier and cleaner, I'm trying new foods I haven't even heard of. The risk of being healthier is sometimes taking a plunge into the unknown and trying certain foods and vegetables you wouldn't dream of eating. Why would you eat something you never heard of?
Exactly, you wouldn't. Hell, for the longest time I didn't. Now I'm a bit older and a bit wiser and
I know this isn't the usually vegan and vegetarian fare I like to post on this blog. However, I felt this was healthy enough to still post! And plus, this came out hella good, y'all! I mean hella good! So good, I wish I was eating one right now.
I have to admit there's something about a move that brings out the best in my cooking skills. I guess because
I have to admit - I was never a fan of cauliflower. Not that it grossed me out (okay, maybe it did) but it wasn't something that was on my go-to to eat as a kid or even when I entered adulthood. Even now, I'm still kinda iffy about cauliflower despite eating it more than I ever have been.
But you can always teach an old dog new tricks, right?

Sometimes, it's hard to eat your veggies when you simply don't have time to prepare them. While I have been at fault for buying ready-made veggie sides (and really, there's nothing wrong with that because you're still getting your vegetables), I really prefer to use fresh whenever I can.
We were introduced to red chard many years ago when our then-next door neighbor had leftovers of a food delivery service
I'm actually about that life instead of having cute towels that I'll never actually use because they are simply for decoration.
But no, I do eat my veggies and a lot of them. At least I try to:
Now, I have to admit: I was never a Brussels sprouts girl. They weren't on my list of, 'Oh, how yum!' growing up. Ever since I smelled them being boiled (and trust, they
