While I don’t have kids of my own at this stage in life, I do spend my days surrounded by them. I work in the fields of pediatrics & education, and get my fair share of kid shenanigans from kids ages 3 to 22. That, combined with the fact that I’m basically a giant 5 year old on the inside, leaves me in a constant state of awareness…
Last Sunday, I went into the kitchen with no plans on what I was creating. I just pulled out what sounded good, tweaked as I went, and scribbled it all down on a pad of paper we keep in the kitchen drawer.

During one of my recent rounds of Whole30, I picked up the compliant variety pack of sauces from Tessemae’s. I figured I’d give them each a shot in different recipes and see which were my favorites– the ones worth repurchasing. Turns out they were basically ALL a hit, but this buffalo sauce…. TOO GOOD.
