How to make super easy thin crust pizza

You can use many things as a pizza crust (well, not counting actual pizza crust here). English muffins work quite well if you like a tougher crust. Bagels also work great – plain bagels as well as more exciting flavors like onion bagels. I don’t recommend cinnamon raisin or chocolate bagels, but then again, who [...]

Cute Onigiri

Onigiri, a.k.a. balls of seasoned rice with stuff inside, are really great to make when you desperately crave sushi and you a.) want to be cheap and make your own food and b.) are too lazy to make full blow sushi. Not that onigiri are that lazy, really, as there’s still preparation to them, but [...]

Delightful Potato Latkes

So I recently found myself with an abundance of potatoes that were making their best effort to grow roots in my cabinet. I’m fairly slow at eating potatoes, but am also unable to resist the allure of a 10lb bag of spuds that costs less then a buck. Thus, it became time to add more [...]

Mesir Wat, an Ethiopian dish involving serious amounts of lentils, fiber, and joy

So I think mesir wat is my new favorite way to get fiber. Lentils are immensely high in fiber, along with a giant pile of other nutrients. See, we happened upon an Ethiopian grocery a few weeks back, whereupon I was struck with an overwhelming urge to buy a pound of red lentils. When trying [...]

The Knish Was Delish And It Made Quite A Dish!

So I recently decided to make knishes, whereupon I vaguely followed this recipe. I say “vaguely” as, whenever something starts going not in an ideal direction when I’m making something, my brain flips into autopilot and I start grabbing random items and flinging them into the recipe until the food more closely resembles the [...]

Beefy burgers and tofu burgers from the grill, and why there’s nothing wrong with eating both

So I’m trying to enjoy this grill for as long as I can before a bunch of snow gets dumped on top of it. See, before I came out to Colorado I’d heard it was crazy dry here and that I’d need to bring multiple gallons of lotion with me just to keep my skin [...]

$2 Futomaki Rolls from the Seoul Oriental Grocery Market

So, I’m a bit poor right now. I can only blame this fact on that whole “not having a job” thing. Being poor comes in direct conflict with the fact that I really enjoy eating sushi as frequently as possible. And while sushi isn’t the most expensive thing out there, it’s not exactly the cheapest, [...]

My Big Fat Hippie Breakfast

So I go through these breakfast phases. Like, for awhile I’ll be really into eating cereal. And then all of the sudden, I’ll just have no stomach for it, and start eating bananas every day. Then I’ll suddenly get really sick of bananas and switch to something else. Then at some point I’ll inevitably be [...]

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 [...]

Magical Food Item #8728937: Fried Plantains

So I’ve had plantains a few times in my life, and have enjoyed them each time I’ve had them, but didn’t really think about them all that much beyond that point. And then, recently, I acquired a plantain. Sometimes items will surreptitiously leap into my basket at the grocery store, and there’s little I can [...]
