If you're anything like me, you have more food pins on Pinterest than you've actually tried. 

Sure, you get creative and brave some nights and decide to make something "from the Internet" (I'm old, okay?) but most nights you reach into your tried and true recipes because you want your kids to actually EAT.

I thought I'd round up a few of the recipe pins I put to the test and enjoyed. There are some I used as inspiration and played with ingredients myself (usually because we were out of something) but overall, these are things I recommend. 

Yes. Tofu Bacon. Yes. It's freaking delicious. 
Slice really really thin and press for SEVERAL hours. I accidentally marinated mine for almost 2 days and it was amazing. 

​Now, going in the opposite direction...

KETO friendly and my husband still asks for it! He's not a veggie person so to have him ask for something veg based is huge.

I freaking love this recipe. OMG it's a huge favorite of mine.

This is an excellent freezer meal and I need to make it again because my kids actually ate it! AND THEN requested I make it again.


There are a lot more but I didn't want to clutter up the post too much! Follow my board here!

As I zoned out during a more boring part of the newest season of Orange Is The New Black (and, seriously, what the hell was season 5 anyway?) I plugged the show title into Amazon to see what's out there. 

I came across this gem: 

You guys. YOU GUYS. This is awesome. 

So, of course, I immediately fell into the "customers also bought" rabbit hole (because that's how Amazon gets you!) and decided to share my newfound knowledge with the world. (Give this post a share if you see your fandom listed!)


I know The Walking Dead is a massive fandom and I wasn't surprised to see y'all have your own cookbooks. I'd be wary to make anything considering the amount of human flesh consumed in the show...but you do you. 

Breaking Bad is another show that lit up my Facebook feed constantly. I don't think you'll learn how to cook meth with this book (you have the Internet for that anyway) but dessert is definitely a good thing to know. 

Personally, a good burger is the way to my heart. Bob's Burgers is one of my favorite animated adult shows. I feel as though I'm a mixture of Tina and Louise...with enough Linda thrown in to keep things stable. 

This post would end up obscenely long if I kept listing all of the wonderful books I found last night AND today. 
​You can Eat Like A Gilmore or enjoy some True Blood Eats and Drinks 

Whatever you choose, do me this favor? Post a picture on Instagram and hashtag it #FandomFood SO I CAN SEE YOUR CREATION! 

Maybe it will inspire me to create a fandom themed book of my own. (No promises, but that would be cool right?) Hmmm
