Chorizo Burgers

So I recently mentioned having used some leftover chorizo for spaghetti sauce. Said chorizo (AKA seasoned ground pork) was leftover from making some delectable chorizo burgers! First off, to satiate your undying curiosity, here is how the chorizo looked pre-ripping-open-of-package: $.97/lb is a glorious price for such a thing. So, making burgers from chorizo seems [...]

Sticking Tofu in the Toaster

My block of tofu that’s been sitting in the fridge for the past several weeks was originally going to be reserved for miso soup. Thing is, I was sick recently. While being sick, I ate entirely too much soup of the instant and canned variety, as being sick = being lazy. So, being officially sick [...]

Elke’s German Deli in Fountain, CO

Elke’s German Deli is magical. We were really just planning to have a look around when we first went in. We are greatly inspired by the selection of chocolate, but uninspired by the expected prices of products imported from Germany. But the salami reeled us in for a purchase, as salami always does. We decided [...]

Charlie’s Pit Bar-B-Que in Manitou Springs, CO

The exciting thing about (or the problem with, depending on your half full/half empty choice of philosophy) moving to a new location is that you have no idea whatsoever if any of the food places near you are delicious or awful. You just don’t know, unless you get a recommendation from someone, take the time [...]

Refreshing Salads and Sandwiches

So in the interest of it being hot and summer and all, I will now post about seasonally-appropriate foodstuffs. Mmm…foodstuffs. First off, we have a delightful salad concoction that I first tried at Drew’s cousin Amanda’s birthday party not too long ago. As it has no name that I am aware of, I shall (for [...]

Arepas sandwich with plantains, homemade versus cafe

First off, my sincerest apologies to anyone who may have attempted to access tastyniblets.com within the last two days. My hosting provider exploded in a most unfortunate way, and as a result I, or anyone else, could not access this website. As a consolation, however, I will now write about and post picture of delicious [...]

For lack of anything better, here’s a cat sniffing a sandwich

Call it “lack of ambition”, call it “I can’t wait to get off this computer and finish reading this super great book”, but rather then writing a lovingly lettered diatribe about the latest concoction I’ve botched, I will instead simply post a picture of a cat sniffing a sandwich. Her name is Velutha, and club [...]

My Big Fat Oozing Mediterranean Sandwich

I feel like I have discovered the ultimate in vegetable versatility. I’d been looking for some sort of Mediterranean salad to make and was a bit overwhelmed with all of the possibilities I came across online. So I decided to pick and choose things I liked from each recipe (or rather, things I already had [...]

Me and my sandwich maker friend make all sorts of delicious fun!

If there’s any one thing that I love more then life itself, it would have to be cheese. Cheese is magical, especially melty cheese. However, despite how much I’d love to do so, one cannot simply melt a bunch of cheese in a vat and scoop it up with one’s paws to deposit into one’s [...]

Romance and Cheesesteaks and Eating Richmond!

So. In the not too long past was Valentine’s Day. Being the true romantic that I am, I decided that there was no better way to share my undying love with my significant other then by making cheesesteaks. You see, cheesesteaks embody all that is good and pure and beautiful in the world, especially when [...]
