Mapo Tofu – 30 minute meal

February 8, 2021

I’m not often intimidated by recipes – but one thing I had never tried to make was Mapo Tofu. This dish is a classic Chinese meal which is meant to be super spicy. It comes from the Sichuan province, where they are known for their spicy dishes! I just assumed that it would require 20 … More Mapo Tofu – 30 minute meal

happy #nationalmargaritaday ☺️ - since i’m not looking to turn up too much tonight, i plan on digging into these tequila seltzers which are AWESOME!!! πŸ’ͺ🏼 only 100 calories (& 0 sugar) - and they contain only tequila / seltzer / and a splash of lime (or grapefruit) 🧑 sheer perfection in a premade cocktail if you ask me! 😍
my ideal valentines day 🧑
thoroughly enjoyed a virtual date night with @nado22 πŸ’œ *fondue for 2️⃣* hosted by @yelpmaine // @mainecheeseguild //@aliceandlulus πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€
quick insta recipe!! 🀀 apparently it’s #nationalpizzaday πŸ•(though I’m claiming 2021 as #nationalpizzayear πŸ˜…)
a little 30 min dinner inspo coming your way! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ mapo tofu πŸ”₯ is one of the dishes i learned to make in quarantine (thanks to @omnivorescookbook) this recipe is spiccyyy πŸ˜… and most grocery stores carry all the ingredients! πŸ’ͺ🏼 check out the link in my profile for my semi-authentic take on this Sichuan classic🌢
keeping up with the new year’s pizza res πŸ’ͺ🏼 β€” this bee sting (plus pep ☺️) absolutely blew us away! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
eating a poke bowl with gloves on was quite something πŸ˜‚
New Years resolution = eat more pizza!! πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ•πŸ₯²
do you ever have a hankering for a brownie, but you know if you make a pan you’ll just eat them all and have a stomachache for days? πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ just me? πŸ˜‚ this recipe for the fudgiest (gluten free!) small batch brownies is perfection. You make them in a loaf pan and end up with 4 perfect brownies πŸ™ŒπŸΌ plus they come together in about 25 minutes & need just a few ingredients! ☺️check the link in my bio for the recipe!! 🀍 (edited to add - i didn’t even know it was #nationalbrownieday πŸ˜‚πŸ«)
throwback to a rare pandemic night out with cocktails (which were the best!) πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
loving @adas.portland ragu lasagna! Absolutely delicious - and the Lambrusco paired with it perfectly πŸ™ŒπŸΌ #smallbusinesssaturday
thanksgiving 2020 mvp πŸ™ŒπŸΌ salted honey parker house rolls - recipe from @acozykitchen 🀍
the most beautiful (& v large) croissants! πŸ₯πŸ˜
the answer is noodles 🍜
a lil game day snack board! 🏈 some veggies & hummus, grapes and apples, some banana chips, crackers, and caramelized onion cheddar. πŸ™ŒπŸΌ yum!! (everything from @traderjoes)

I grew up outside of Rochester, NY and am making Kennebunk, ME my home! You can find me cooking (most nights), reading (anything & everything), taking up new hobbies (currently: needlepoint!), working out at Orange Theory, and hanging with my husband Andrew and our pup Baxter. I think all the best foods have elements of crunch, salt and a hint of sweetness, and no matter what I’m eating - I always save the best bite for last.
