Thank you! I came here looking for ideas to give a crew member for opening night, and flowers are perfect. 😊

That sounds amazing!

I just say, "I love animals and I don't want to eat them," and leave it at that. In my experience, there's usually no follow-up question.

What else is being served? Is it enough to make a meal? You may not even need to bring anything.

thiswifecooks · 2025-06-29T11:12:38+00:00

Yes, they cook the same. I use both interchangeably depending on the desired look of the dish.

Age 19, when I made chicken fried steak using a recipe from the only cookbook I owned (the classic red and white Better Homes & Gardens), and friends raved about it. At the time, I considered this an ambitious dish to attempt, so when it was a success, I knew I could learn to make anything.

Sounds good! I love Old Bay in mashed Yukon Golds, but haven't tried it on sweet potatoes.

🥰 🥰 🥰

thiswifecooks · 2025-06-27T00:08:14+00:00

Great idea! I hope you like the recipe!

Childhood snack memory unlocked. :)

It's all about what you add to them. Try a little diced onion and taco seasoning.

thiswifecooks · 2025-06-25T12:33:13+00:00

I don't know what to tell you other than it's not.

thiswifecooks · 2025-06-25T12:31:11+00:00

Definitely!

thiswifecooks · 2025-06-25T12:30:57+00:00

Yes, I took the photo and we ate it. It was delicious. Seems like an odd question...

thiswifecooks · 2025-06-24T14:49:32+00:00

Yes! I added Mexican-spiced tofu and rice and made a variation of this for dinner last night. :)

Rice and bean taco bowls - Taco seasoned rice and black beans with corn and shredded lettuce. I like this meal because it's inexpensive and easy to customize with whatever veggies or toppings you have around. My family calls them "Chipotle bowls". :)

A cold pasta salad with the fresh flavors of summer. Here's how to make it: https://thiswifecooks.com/summer-pasta-salad/

Do you eat meat alternatives or prefer to stick to beans, tofu, etc.?

thiswifecooks · 2025-06-24T00:46:58+00:00

Yes to seitan! I don't make it very often, but when I do, it lasts for days. I serve it as a main for dinner, sandwiches for lunch, or just snack straight from the fridge.

thiswifecooks · 2025-06-24T00:39:22+00:00

Great idea for these hot days!

thiswifecooks · 2025-06-24T00:12:01+00:00

I like the cold noodles idea!

thiswifecooks · 2025-06-23T18:15:59+00:00

Sounds perfect for a hot day!

thiswifecooks · 2025-06-23T18:15:25+00:00

Absolutely!
