A reader recently discovered she wasn’t able to tolerate tofu…after ordering a case of Mori-Nu silken lite firm tofu. So she sent them to me!!! Thanks again Emily 🙂 They arrived slightly crushed, but I immediately got to work on cooking with them. I had already planned on making a lasagna that day, but I’d only ever made the tofu “ricotta” with extra firm (non-silken) tofu before. I figured I may as well give it a try with the silken kind. I used my same hummus/tofu recipe for the “ricotta”: 3 containers of… Read more >

Or macaroons. Or dough bites. Or balls. Whatever. The variety of names for these treats is endless. They are essentially coconut and chia seeds held together by a little bit of liquid and nut butter. So very simple. I’m not claiming I invented them or anything – I’m sure there’s a version of these on many other blogs out there. But here’s what went into mine.

I get questions semi-regularly about certain ingredients, so I decided to start a post series about the common WTF foods. If you missed the first one, here’s WTF ingredients: nooch Next up, chia seeds.

Kyle is the best husband. I don’t have to worry about this going to his head because he doesn’t really read HHH I got to fly home from Nor Cal, but Kyle had to drive. Six hours on the I-5 is pretty miserable. And on top of that, he was nice enough to lug all my heavy Christmas presents home. And anything and everything else I didn’t want to carry.
