This year in preparation for the Superbowl, we’ve decided to bring back an old comfort food fave, and give it a fresh, but totally easy, spin. Remember your cozy old friend mac ‘n cheese? We’re going to dress it up like it’s going to prom.
Not sure what to do with all that eggplant you picked up at the farmer's market or got from your CSA? Try our eggplant bacon—a completely meat-free way to add smokiness, saltiness, and umami (a savory quality) to your meals.
