Not many words today, just some link love.
This is the food that has tempted and haunted me all week, the food that I’ve dreamt about (yes, I actually did dream about one of these) and not surprisingly, mostly food that I can’t (or am choosing not to) eat right now. So, I’m passing it off to you to enjoy instead in hopes that it will stop tormenting me in my sleep.
-Christina’s cookie dough bites. I know I just made a damn good healthy cookie dough dip but this real version in those perfect little chocolate balls is just killlling me. I want.
-Cassie’s grilled goat cheese & roasted grape sandwich. I’ve been wanting to do roasted grapes for awhile now. This put me over the edge. I actually made a dish with them yesterday after seeing her sandwich. It has quinoa & almonds, not gooey goat cheese & bread. It’s delicious, but there’s really no comparing it to this.
-Erin’s chocolate post which is actually a compilation post itself. Click that and be prepared to lose yourself in chocolate for at least 30 minutes. Reader beware.
-Kathryne’s most recent Food Matter’s post on avocado toast. I actually do this all the time already but something about her freshly baked baguette is making me crave that hardcore on good bread, not store bought whole wheat.
-And speaking of good bread…Rachel’s spicy garlic bread. Just look at the last picture on that post. Is there anything more perfect in this world than those slices on top? It’s not even the spicy garlic part that gets me on this, just the absolute perfection of that loaf.
And what are these pictures I’ve been shoving in your face of creamy pasta & kale?
-Ashley’s ingenious idea to make a creamy marinara sauce with tofu.
Perfect way to get some protein in with a pasta dish. I used soba noodles for even more protein and gobbled this up in about 2 minutes. It seriously tastes like the absolutely horrible for you vodka cream sauce from your local Italian joint except none of the guilt. Zero. I halved the sauce recipe and still had a ton leftover. It’s since been slathered on everything from turkey muffins to roasted vegetables to the base of a tortilla wrap. Delicious.
Happy drooling!

Gah! Ashley’s creamy marinara sauce with tofu KILLED me the other day and now it’s killing me again!!
I need to make this. Like yesterday.
Love the link love! A lot of good recipes in there
Everything sounds wonderful! I don’t know what I’m craving, well thats a lie, after watching Food Network last night, I want pizza and hamburgers. That can’t be good!!! Have a great weekend!!
Erin’s chocolate post yesterday made me drool, number 11 on her list is Laura’s pancakes with Hot cocoa powder. I have made it and it is heaven. Also, I was so going to make your sweet potato kale bites but I ate too many fries yesterday and couldn’t stomach more potatoes. So, I’m making them tonight and just can’t wait.
Omg – the marinara sauce- YES. I’ve had a lonely block of tofu sitting in my fridge for wks waiting to be turned into something.
Enjoy the rest of your wknd!
Awesome links and I’ve seen most of them but off to have a small clickfest now. Thanks
Thanks for linking to my sandwich, love! In fact, I think I’m having another one for lunch today. Have a fabulous weekend, Gina!
I’ve been using silken tofu a lot lately for a variety of applications – including making creamy sauces! Such an easy, versatile ingredient
YUmmmm!
Wow! I just have to try the creamy marinara sauce with Tofu, I’m thinking tomorrow. Thanks for pointing to that recipe!
Oh no, I’m lost in the chocolate page…
Wish I could share with ya
I like to share my balls with as many people as possible!
I was going to make one kind of pasta this week, but I think I’ve changed my mind!!!
You have me craving pasta and bread…majorly. Love the links!
At least I know I’m not the only one who dreams about food and recipes
It must be a food blogging curse. Thanks for the link love!
Now I’m wanting pasta with vodka sauce!
I’ve been drooling over that sauce too!!! I’ve embarked on the high protein way of eating too so I sympathize. Food blogs make it slightly more difficult
Ahhh!! YAY! So glad you tried the sauce + loved it. Thanks for sharing!
