Spicy Peanut & Kale Pasta | 06.02.10


via xaverie

Mmm, mama.. this is good stuff! An extremely easy meal to make, plus it tastes so, so good. I originally found this in one of Sarah Kramer’s cookbooks, but I misplaced it somewhere during our move (surprise!). So, here is my memorized version which may be a lil’ different.

- Throw some pasta (I use rotini because they’re the cutest, of course) in a pot with boiling water.

- In a separate pot, heat up a can of tomato sauce. I use the tiny cans.. but however much you want is up to you.

- Once the tomato sauce warms up, add a tablespoon of peanut butter & however much chili garlic sauce you’d like. I only use a teaspoon because I’m a weenie. This is the brand I buy. It’s really good, but you don’t need much!

- Mix together until creamy smooth.

- Add your kale & mix it around the sauce. Don’t be scared to add a ton of kale (or spinach!) because it shrinks like crazy.

- Once your sauce is ready to go, just pour over the noodles & toss around. SO GOOD!

Pizza Party | 01.26.10

My husband & I went out for pizza the other night and I really loved how these photos turned out. All the neon, weird lighting, fake plants and televisions made for some good atmosphere.

Chocolate Tofu Pie | 11.25.09

I wanted to share this recipe that I came across a long time ago. I cannot remember where I found it but that’s okay. I have it memorized because it is so easy to make, there’s no baking involved and I always take it to whatever gathering I am going to because everyone loves it. Some people won’t eat it if you tell them it is tofu beforehand, so just wait until they’ve eaten two slices and raved about how great it is. :]

Chocolate Tofu Pie

· 1 package tofu
· chocolate chips
· pie crust or graham crackers & margarine if you want to make your own crust.

Melt the chocolate chips on low heat. When melted, add tofu and chocolate to a food processor and mix until smooth. You can also use a blender, but a food processor has always worked better for me. Add mixture to pie crust and chill for a couple of hours.

If you’re making the crust yourself, melt some margarine (I use Earth Balance) and put the graham crackers in the processor. Add the melted margarine to the graham crackers and press into pie pan to form a crust. Pour tofu/chocolate mixture in and put in the fridge. Easy!
