NFNS 8/6 with Spoilers

Seriously, Mary Beth made me want to scream. She couldn't cook half the time, she wasn't in the least bit interesting or engaging, and frankly the "Sunday Supper" thing was such a tired and uninspired idea.

I like Jeff - he's goofy but his food looks and sounds really yummy and he's enjoyable to watch.

does anyone still buy instant coffee?? canned vegetables?? condensed soup??

Aaaah I see. Tuna noodles is an "I don't feel like cooking tonight" food for me, so I couldn't be bothered to make my own lol.

Ah it's just comfort food - egg noodles, tuna, cream of mushroom soup with a little milk, season to taste and bit of parmesan cheese mmmm... I like to put some bread crumbs in mine too. Then I eat a bite of the noodles dragged through the pea puree and it's quite delicious.

I still buy cream of mushroom soup to make quick tuna noodle casserole now and then... but I've taken to making a buttery sweet pea puree to go with it lol.

What do I do with a pound of dates?

I saw something on a food show awhile back - dates stuffed with Manchego and wrapped in bacon with some sort of mapley drizzle... it looked amazing. I would do that. And probably make some sort of bread.

My SO couldn't understand why I would want to make my own birthday cake so unfortunately tonight I will be getting a store-bought cake lol... but I am still going to make Ina Garten's peach cake this week :) I've been wanting to make it for ages and never got around to it.

A couple of weeks ago I made Tish Boyle's Chocolate Valentine Cake for my SO's birthday. It was divine. Lovely flourless chocolate cake - instead of the raspberry layer and chocolate glaze, I made a homemade whipped cream and topped the cake with that and shavings of bittersweet chocolate.

Flourless Chocolate Cake -- with complications

I wonder if you could replace the whipped cream in the Chocolate Valentine Cake from The Cake Book by Tish Boyle with a non-dairy whipped topping... That's the only ingredient in it that doesn't meet your qualifications :)

And it is delicious and kept very well in the fridge overnight and then in the freezer for a few days as well.
