Potato and Apple Latkes
I never understood why people pair potato pancakes with apple sauce. It’s kinda odd, no? Maybe I don’t get it because these delicious fried taters weren’t a big part of my life growing up. In fact, I didn’t even get hooked on them until I had one in France (go figure…good food...
Funnel Cake
For me, holidays are nice…but often stressful. Although it’s a time of amazing food, fun parties with friends, and great music, it’s also a time where I’m forced to hang out with frustrating relatives, attend obligatory events, and take a whole lot of work on my plate. I also end up self...

Crunchy Tofu
Okay, now not everything likes tofu…but since everyone likes fried food, I figured a crunchy fried tofu would be a good way to get people interested in this versatile ingredient!
