Flattered.
Does anyone else think of flatulence when they say that word?
I am absolutely flattered when people try out the #strangebutgood recipes I subject you all to. It’s high time I share some of the evidence and creative edits!
Jicama Tofu Nachos
This may be one of my favorite recent creations. I was really excited to see it popping up on Instagram! This version is by Hannah:
Meghan @ The Lyon’s Share braved these nachos and made it her own with mushrooms and a vegan cheese sauce.
Fluffy Cauliflower Pancakes
Meghan truly is a brave soul because she made my Fluffy Cauliflower Pancake recipe last week too! And she made it even more strange green by adding spinach and doubling the cauliflower!
(Cheese-less) Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Continuing with the cauliflower theme, Tiffany @ Love, Sweat, & Beers (minus the beers for now, baby mamma) made my Cauliflower Crust Pizza!
Since she’s eating for two, she even had room left for dessert. Clever thinking. 😉
Chick-Less Nuggets
Arman @ The Big Man’s World is a #strangebutgood enthusiast, so I was thrilled when he made my Chick-less Nuggets. He compared these TVP-based vegan nuggets to falafel, which makes total sense since I also used chickpea flour to make them.
Even better is the fast that he ate them with roasted cauliflower and brussels, two of my favorite things (rain drops on roses aside).
150 Calorie Chocolate Mug Cake
My girl Heather @ Better With Veggies is training for her first bikini competition on a pescatarian/dairy-free diet. She’s rocking it out and I was super flattered when she tried my 150 Calorie Chocolate Mug Cake.
She had the brilliant idea to mix the ingredients in advance so all she could take it to work and “cook” it in the microwave there.
Peanut-Coconut Flour Pancakes
Inspiration goes both ways! Arman made my nuggets, but my Saturday pancakes were inspired by the peanut butter-coconut recipe he entered in the #strangebutgood linkup on Friday’s blog.
The I made it more strange but adding roasted jicama and strawberries with a Mexican chocolate twist – I tossed them in cocoa, cinnamon, and cayenne pre-roast. So good!
Flattery, not to be confused with flatulence, is marvelous.

I mentioned Friday that I have a new job. In order to give myself time to ramp up in my new role, I’m going to be posting a little less frequently. I don’t know what that schedule will look like yet. Just know if I miss a day (probably tomorrow) I’m not dead. If you notice. 😉
What blogger recipe have you tried lately and loved?
Is there anything making your Monday particularly marvelous? I’m in San Fran, which doesn’t suck.
Your recipes have definitely inspired me to try new things and combinations that I never would have thought of before so thank you. I hope all goes well with the new job!
You even considering to make one of my #strangebutgood creations is like winning an academy award… 😉 Although after your amazing additions, it puts it to shame!
I never associated flattery with flatulance but now If I ever get complimented, the flatteree will get the stink eye- ooo double whammy. I hope your settling in well, and if not, hide some sashimi around the office 😉
Whatever – you make some amazing strangeness. If we ever got into the kitchen together… well, it would be strange. 😉
Hahah I love that quote at the top..normal is boring! SO jealous you’re hanging out in San Fran. One thing making my Monday marvelous is waking up naturally i.e. not exhausted or cursing my alarm 😉
Your recipes are pretty marvelous! Don’t think I’ve had the flatulence side effect! 😉
Thanks for inspiring me to be #strangebutgood … it’s so fun to eat delicious things that sound ridiculous. Your recipes are awesome – I have no idea how you continue to be so creative! Enjoy the new job and don’t worry about your posting schedule – we’ll be here waiting for more flatulence jokes :).
Thank you so much!!! I made it the rest of the week without a single fart joke. It was a big win. 😉
your recipes always do rock 🙂 itz fun seeing people recreate what you do! 🙂
Love the creativity! And, the new job…exciting! Enjoy the new beginning 🙂
((AND IM WAVING TO YOU FROM OAKTOWN WHICH…SUCKS CUZ YOURE IN SF? :-))
I’m going to be going out there a lot more – we need to coordinate!!!
K I really need to make some strange but good recipes…they never seem that strange to me but maybe we’re a peculiar bunch 😉 Brisket brownies didn’t happen…let night brisket munchies happened instead…oh well!
Also I love Megan. She’s the best and a brave soul indeed!
Flatulence is marvelous too. Well, sometimes.
Have fun in SF! The farthest my job has sent me is Cobb Galleria. Lol.
I hear that happens a lot when you’re preggo… 😉
I love your recipes! Have fun in SF & thanks for the not-dead warning. 🙂
Normal is totally overrated!! 🙂
And my parents are visiting later this week, so looking forward to that is making my Monday pretty marvelous!
Your recipes always sound so good, yes maybe a little strange sometimes but always good. Good luck settling in at the new job!
Oh I always love it when someone makes one of my recipes AND likes it!
Mmmm peanut and coconut flour pancakes looks really good! That sounds quite appealing to me. You might see me making those in the future!
Thanks! Let me know if you do. Arman makes some crazy good recipes!
I admit that I collect blogger recipes, then rarely actually make them. I have good intentions though!
Good luck with your new job. And enjoy San Francisco. One of my favorite cities!
best feeling ever when people try your recipes!
I make so many blogger recipes – who needs cookbooks!! This week I’m going rogue and doing a whole lot of new stuff that I’m SUPER excited about. I went from no inspiration yesterday to lots of yumminess (plus Kirk helped with meal prep for the week!).
I did the same thing last week! All the sudden I was a cooking fool.
I’m actually happy to hear you’ll be posting less. Life is for the living 🙂 Ain’t no one got time for daily posts… as much as I’d love to read about you every day, that is! 😉
glad are SLOWING down. But i am not glad that i don’t get to sample all these. gah.. i want to go to everyone’s house and sample
Blogger progressive dinner!
I want all of these, please and thank you
YES to Monday – that you are taking a step back & giving yourself a bit more time! 🙂 I am excited for when you will post more about the job but NOT more days! 😉
Hope all is going well!!!!!
What?! Well this was a surprise! Those nachos were so good I think I’ve made them at least 3 times adding kabocha and sauerkraut a couple times. So good:) I love trying blogger’s recipes. Another one that I’ve tried recently and loved is the purely twins cinnamon toast crunch. I’ve definitely got to try both of those pancake recipes!
Ohhhh… sauerkraut… good call! I’m going to do that when I can have sodium again. 🙂
“Flattered. Does anyone else think of flatulence when they say that word?”
Not up until six seconds ago, thank you very much. I have a feeling I’ll have the rest of my life to look forward to it, though. *turns dramatic stinkeye onto you*
Tee hee. You’re welcome. 😉
Definitely love all the recipes you’ve provided us throughout the weeks! I also can’t believe you’ve thought of that many strange but good recipes. Seriously impressive!
Take your time with getting back to posting! I’ve been posting less frequently since I’ve been more busy and it’s definitely a little freeing!
It’s good to know you aren’t dead if post-less days should come. 😉 I hope you are loving the new job!
Lots of good stuff! I’ve also been wanting to try your chick-less nuggets. Hopefully I’ll get around to it sooner or later… 🙂
They would be good to have as a quick grab in the freezer when the little munchkin arrives! I hear quick, nutritious snacks are hard to plan for. 😉
Definitely take the time you need to get adjusted at your new gig!!! Best of luck!
You know I am all about the cauliflower right now so that cheeseless bread is on the list! I finally found a costco type store out here and they had TVP can you believe it? I mean BATCHES, it was crazy! I instantly thought of you! Hope your new job is awesome! Lots of Love your way! C
My friend Lisa started making the crust as bread sticks. Then she slathers it with quark!
I’m even more blown away that they have a Costco-like store?! What?!? I though over-buying stuff was an American thing. 😉
Your recipes are super inspiring, if they were remotely normal they would be boring #lovethatquote 😛
Keep being super creative 🙂
Cheers

I can only imagine how great it must feel to have so many people trying your recipes and giving them a twist too. How very Laura-esque of them. It must make you proud. I recently tried Peas and Crayons Creamy Cilantro Dip and Breakfast to Bed’s Apple Honey Cake. Both were delicious. I think food bloggers in general are a great source of recipe inspiration, yourself included.
Ummmm… I’m now proud that you called something “Laura-esque.” LOL! Thank you!!!
I need to check out that cake…
Absolutely, and I bet you could even sneak some protein powder into the cake in place of flour.
Alright don’t be mad at me…you were one cute little kid. You look so innocent.
I love that you opened today’s post with the #cheese. You might have meant something different although you know what I was thinking and I loved it.
I think travel is a great way to go, and I’d pick being wam over cold any day of the week. I’m also glad your mom convinced you to start blogging; she’s a smart lady.
Gah!!! I’m so behind in my blog reading that I haven’t even SEEN any recipes to try! I swear, I can either post or I can read, but I SUCK at doing both! *bangs head against computer*
