Simple food means Tamago Egg Sushi Rice Bowls for breakfast or lunch! Pair them with cubed avocado for a delicious and quick meal.

Especially at this point in the quarantine, I am looking for simpler meals. At first, I went all out with some extravagant dinners (and sometimes I still do). But some weeks ago, I discovered that all I want to eat are eggs and rice which might be the most satisfying combo ever. As a kid, I loved tamago, which is an egg sushi. I thought, why not deconstruct it and make some tamago egg sushi rice bowls? And y’all, these babies are freaking DELISH.

So let’s get started shall we?

Creamy Cabbage and Bowtie Pantry Pasta

I always love a pantry pasta and this Cabbage and Bowtie Pantry Pasta is one of my childhood favorites. Made with mostly pantry ingredients, it comes together in no time and tastes beyond delicious. It is vegan and GF friendly too!

This whole quarantine life and “avoiding the grocery store” has been so difficult for me. True story.

But what I will say is I am making it work. It’s forcing me to get creative with the stockpile of ingredients that I have on hand. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait for the day when I can go back to my spur of the moment grocery store trips. But in an effort to see things in a positive way, I’m loving my new use what you got motto.

Case in point? This pasta… yes

Best Curried Tofu Scramble

Tofu scramble gets a bad rap, but the best Curried Tofu Scramble is the way to make tofu scramble sound so darn delicious. Tofu is dusted in curry and cumin and crisped up in a cast iron pan. It is the perfect breakfast or lunch for a busy weekday or for weekend brunch!

Tofu scramble used to intimidate me… I know that sounds absolutely ridiculous but hear me out. Tofu is one of those ingredients that I love, but I feel a lot of people are skeptical of the bland taste and funny texture. Therefore, it is up to me to try and convince you that you can make tofu taste delicious. And y’all, this Curried Tofu Scramble might take the cake. It is full of both flavor and crispy bits.

Who doesn’t like crispy goodness?

BBQ Chickpea Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Keeping things comforting, but healthy with these BBQ Chickpea Stuffed Sweet Potatoes. Chickpeas are roasted until crispy and tossed in BBQ sauce. Plus, anything you put inside a sweet potato gets a yes from my dawg!

People ask me all the time what my favorite comfort foods are. The answer I give more often than not is potatoes in all of their forms. When I was a kid, comfort was going through the Wendy’s drive through to get a baked potato with broccoli and cheese. I never like burgers or meat as a kid, and this, to me, was heaven. Now, in these difficult times more than ever, I am leaning on some of my favorite comfort foods. And nothing says comfort like stuffing a sweet potato with all sorts of goodies.

Or maybe that is just me!

The best and easiest dessert with a bit of a twist, these Chocolate Peanut Butter Miso Truffles will be the star of your snack or dessert spread. It sounds a little strange to add miso, but trust me on this one. Five ingredients and thirty minutes separate you from sweet nirvana.

And trust me, you will not want to keep them a secret either!

I have a thing for nachos!

One of my favorite easy snacks or dinners to make as a kid were nachos. Now, my dad used to make them as a quick lunch or dinner on Sundays throughout the fall and winter months. He would pile the chips high with cheese and peppers and throw them in the oven. By the time we came inside, the nachos were ready for eating and enjoying the football game!

It sounds like a movie. I cannot believe it either.
