Butternut bowl

I meant to share this recipe last week.  Better late than never!   Butternut Squash Bowl Ingredients: butternut squash (as many as you want to make bowls) quinoa carrots BBQ tofu (recipe here) avocado Directions: Chop neck off squash so only the bowl portion remains.  Remove seeds and bake. Make BBQ tofu. Make quinoa.  [I used my rice cooker] Grate carrots.  Scoop avocado into a bowl.  Then add another for good measure. Combine quinoa, tofu, and carrots, with the avo and mash everything together.  Then add to already baked squash.   Obviously the squash is… Read more >

Sunday night family dinner

It’s impossible for me to forget about our weekly cooking dates because Kyle entered them in our joint google calendar.  So I get reminders emailed and texted to me when it’s time.  He’s almost as type A as I am… [Fact: I’m only pretending I don’t find it attractive.  In reality, I love his nerdy traits more than anything – I just don’t want it to go to his head.] So anyway…Kyle’s parents came to visit and I cooked them dinner.    Happy Birthday Kevin! The (vegan, gluten free) menu: Stuffed Bell Peppers Creamed Corn… Read more >

Italian Amore

It’s been a while since I’ve made lasagna.  Kyle reminds me of this every month or so.  It’s one of his favorite dishes.  I went through the HHH archives and although I’ve showed the final products a few times, I’ve only posted a recipe once on the blog (a very long time ago). You’re due for an update. And since we are working on cleaning out our pantry and freezer, I figured it was high time I did the damn thang.  After all, we had two boxes of noodles, three jars of marinara, and two… Read more >

What do you call cheese that’s not yours?

Nacho cheese!  <— cringe   Last week I decided it wasn’t worth it to make bagels from scratch.  Buying them is fine by me.  Tortilla chips, on the other hand, are now going in the “home-made” column.    Easy – yes.  Delicious – yes.  Cheap – yes.  I’m not joking, this was probably the most simple and tasty thing I’ve “made” in a while. Did I mention how cheap they were?   A bag of 100 corn tortillas from Costco set me back a whole $2.99.  They are made by Guerrero, and when I researched… Read more >

Moon Landing

I made his and hers cookies for dessert the other night.  It was 9 pm and we wanted dessert, but the only thing that we Kyle felt like was warm cookies.   It wasn’t in my vows, but cookie bitch is definitely one of my wifely duties.   You know that scene in Modern Family when Jay and Cam are in the men’s locker room together… That’s what I thought of once I pulled these cookies out of the oven.  Peanut butter moon landing! [the kissing cookies in the lower left corner]   Peanut Butter… Read more >
