Everyday Crispy Tofu

Let me tell you, the best (and only) way to eat tofu is CRISPY CRISPY CRISPY. After hours spent waiting on tofu to crisp in the oven, I finally got smart. First, I realized you must drain the moisture from the tofu. Second, I learned to withhold salt until after it’s done baking because salt…

Salmon Cakes

I was laughing as I wrote an email to my grandfather the other day that I decidedly do not like cooked salmon. I mean, it was just a few years ago that I accepted raw salmon as a viable (and delicious) meal (in moderation of course). So here I am posting a Salmon Cakes recipe.…

Ginger Chop Salad

Nothing like a new month reset with a delicious, nutritious, and relatively healthy-ish chop salad. I am always on the look out for salad recipes that are filling enough for a full meal and packed without goodies to actually crave it. This Ginger Chop Salad is one of those salads. It’s crunchy, salty, and filling.…

Garlic Lemon Caper Fish

To be honest, I have never loved seafood. Until recently. How this came about? I still don’t know but I LOVE white fish – cod, halibut, sole, you name it. I like it even better if it’s crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and drenched in lemon and garlic. This dish is just…

Miso Eggplant

*REPOST FROM THE OLD BLOG* Okay, hear me out. Eggplant is amazing. Teenage me would never have guessed that I would actually crave eggplant as an adult. BUT it’s so versatile and can be transformed into literally any cuisine, food palate, taste, etc you desire. On rotation for “Meatless Mondaze” and oh-so addicting, this dish…

Cilantro Lime Chicken

Is it just me or does chicken taste better in strips? I think it’s just me but honestly, I could eat these like jerky. They are perfect for tacos, salads, harvest bowls, or simply by themselves. Super easy and packed with citrus flavors, this one is a no-brainer. Here, you’ll see I used the Cilantro…

Crispy Cracker Chicken Nuggets

One of my fan favorites (and when I say fan, I mean my lovely family and friends) is Yoshii’s Caesar Salad with Cracker Crusted Chicken Tenders. Now I know I haven’t divulged Yoshii’s epic Caesar dressing yet on this updated blog site but I PROMISE I will soon. In the meantime, I’ll share my secret…

Cauliflower Rice Arancini Balls with Marinara Sauce

*REPOST FROM OLD BLOG One of the things I miss most about eating gluten is fried-anything. I don’t eat fried foods on a regular basis but my mouth salivates every time we go to a restaurant that offers fried goodies — mozzarella sticks, beer-battered appetizers, you name it. These Air Fried Italian Arancini Balls are…
