I’m not going to lie, I had never tried making enchilada sauce at home until about a year ago. I was a serious Old El Paso girl. That red sauce in the yellow can seemed perfect always and I was happy to buy it. However, then I tried making it at home, and I was BLOWN away. Not only because there are so many varieties you can make, but because it’s so much healthier and it tastes SO much better…like so much better. I found a recipe for some Chipotle Enchilada sauce, but it had chicken stock in it which meant it wasn’t technically vegetarian. Sometimes I let things ...

General Tso’s Tofu
I love Chinese take out, but sometimes it’s hard to find a great place (especially since we moved from NYC to Atlanta), and after eating all that MSG I get a massive headache. However, I can never seem to get my favorite recipes replicated just right….until now. After seeing a recipe for some General Tso’s Chicken, I thought, ‘Why can’t I make this with tofu?’ The meat is really just he vehicle for the sauce, right? I knew that I wanted to get nice crispy tofu though, and wanted to mix it up instead of baking or dry frying the tofu like how I usually make it. I looked up some ...

Arugula Lemon Pesto
Last week I was browsing at the grocery store when I noticed a big container of Spicy Wasabi Arugula on sale. Regularly $6, I snatched it up for just under $2 and didn't look back. But Wasabi Arugula....what could I use this for? I recalled the spinach pesto I made for grilled cheeses not too long ago, and thought I could probably use this arugula and do a pesto with it.....pesto doesn't always have to be made with basil, right? So I figure this pesto can be made with any type of arugula, or green leafy veggie. I also wanted to cut down on the oil a ...
Eggplant & Goat Cheese Sandwiches with Tomato Tarragon Sauce
When I first spotted this recipe on Pinterest I knew I had to make it at some point soon. It has 2 of my favorite things, eggplant and goat cheese, so I knew I would love it (and my husband is a fan too, so we were good to go). I know some people aren't big fans of goat cheese, so I think subbing with feta or mozzarella would be great. I actually combines feta and goat cheese one time, because I didn't have enough goat cheese, and it was delicious. Also, using 2 eggplants for this yields A LOT of food. I made it with 2 the first time, ...
