Sriracha Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

I love to Buffalo things. (Can one use Buffalo as a verb?) And, I love cauliflower.

Original recipe by Eating Well

I did not modify this recipe at all! It was super simple, and the sriracha adds just a hint of spicy sweetness to the traditional buffalo flavor. I served it with just a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles. I think it is meant to be a snack, but I ate it as a side to my barbecued salmon. My only regret is that I didn't make more!

Fresh from roasting

Notes from Cooper: why couldn't we just order wings? Chicken goes well with salmon.

Sesame Maple Roasted Tofu

Original Recipe by Eating Well This is the second time I've made this recipe. The first time I made it, I was shocked that I had never roasted tofu before. It was so good, and hit the sweet and savory notes I love so much. This week, the modification was adding cubed eggplant to the first roasting. More veggies and more servings! Notes from Cooper: when Mama was making stupid tofu, Auntie Casey was cooking ground chicken. Just sayin'

Szechuan Tofu with Cauliflower

Before I started my fitness journey, I loved Chinese takeout. Truth be told, I still do, I just rarely indulge now. This recipe satisfies the craving and is fun to make! Original recipe by Cooking Light As always, I start by pressing the tofu. While that is happening, I prep all the veggies and prepare the sauce. The cooking comes together quickly. The result was spicy, satisfying and healthy. I ended up freezing the portions. The freezing actually seemed to give more texture to the tofu and deepened the flavors. I'll make it again! Notes from Cooper: Mama calls this "szechuan" tofu. I think she's pronouncing "stupid" incorrectly.

Brussels Sprouts Pizza with Beer Caramelized Onions

Things I love: Brussels sprouts. Beer. Caramelized onions. Pizza. Original recipe by Live Eat Learn I like beer, and I like trying new beers, but I have pretty specific tastes. I almost exclusively drink stouts and porters, only like some imperials, and have learned that I do not like barrel aged beers. Every time I try a new beer, it falls into one of three categories: beers I love, beers that are okay but I wouldn't get again, and beers I dislike enough that I won't finish them. When it comes to the third category, I've taken to freezing it for future use. I may not want to drink it, but cooking with it works! The only modification I ever really make to this recipe is that I always seem to use a different beer. And sometimes if I have extra onion around, I throw it in. Here are the onions, cooking down in the beer. While the onions are cooking down, the pizza stone is heating in the oven, I'm prepping the brussels, and making the balsamic reduction. Once the ...
