Sofrito Lovers,

Eating and binge watching Netflix is my life.  No, it's not sad!  Don't feel sorry for the alleged "lifeless loser!"  While my wonderful bear is performing on Broadway (he's in On Your Feet), I spend a lot of time writing, eating, cooking, and binge watching Netflix!  Nothing makes bingeing more enjoyable than delicious food!

When I saw the post below, on Chowhound.com, I knew I would love this list and I do.  What better accompaniment is there while you watch The Get Down, then Cheesy popcorn? Triple Peanut-Peanut cookies make the Netflix One Day at a Time remake even more entertaining!  

Check out the post below and I guarantee you these delicious recipes will go great with Fuller House, DeGrassi: Next Class, and that new weird Neil Patrick Harris show-I forget the name!  Read, cook, and then go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!

A Spoonful of Sofrito: Vegan Carbonara Pasta Recipe!

A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.

Vegan Carbonara Pasta Recipe!


Sofrito Lovers,

I can't believe that I love Vegan Carbonara Pasta!  Sometimes, certain vegan dishes can taste, how do I say this gingerly?  LIKE SHIT!  But, when I tasted my co-worker's vegan pasta recipe, from SeriousEats.com, I couldn't believe how creamy, rich, and delicious this pasta dish tasted.  

How could buttery, cheesy, eggy carbonara be vegan?  How could someone veganize this decadent and delicious celebration of dairy at is best?

Flabbergasted, I immediately asked for the recipe and she called it up on her smart phone and,of course, the recipe was from SeriousEats.  Their recipes are always resourceful and creative; these people could veganize an Argentinian barbeque smack in the middle of cow country!

Check out this recipe for yourself!  If a life long carnivore like me loves it, I'm sure you all will as well!  Go taste for yourself!

Vegan Carbonara Pasta Recipe



 
Carbonara may be one of the most difficult recipes to vegan-ify, since every major ingredient in the sauce is off-limits. But by eating lots of the real deal and getting mighty crafty with an array of unlikely ingredients, I managed to create a vegan carbonara that captures the essence of the original like no other: It's silky and rich, unctuous, and studded with meaty bits, with the sharp, lactic tang of Pecorino Romano (but, of course, no actual Pecorino Romano).

A Spoonful of Sofrito: HOT CHEETOS NOODLES/ MUKBANG!

A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.

HOT CHEETOS NOODLES/ MUKBANG!


Sofrito Lovers,

Hot Cheetos Noodles...is there anything else that needs to be said?  Wendy's Eating Show never fails to deliver funny, bizarre, adorable, and jaw-droppingly crazy Mukbang videos.  

For those of you who don't know, Mukbang videos are a genre of tasting videos in which the host eats a huge quantity of food while carrying on a conversation with the audience.  Sometimes, the host chats or Skypes with the audience while filming and answers their questions.  Wendy's videos are on YouTube so there isn't any chatting or Skyping, but they're thrilling, hilarious, and incredible nonetheless.  Wendy has a way of engaging her audience that keeps you coming back for more.

Check out the queen of Hot Cheeto cuisine at her best!  I guarantee you won't be able to pull yourself away.  Watch, then go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!
