Get Your Hour Back Pasta Master

Dear Turkey,

It's 5 AM. Your constituents are sleeping. Your body thinks it's 6 AM; your eyes are darting back and forth like a bad guy in a cartoon and you haven't even had your chai yet. What to do with the extra hour? Snuggle back under that comforter, put your phone on silent (so nobody can hear you clicking and judge you) and email your Christmas/Hanukkah list to your mom. 

By lunch time your body will think that it's already time for Second Lunch, so you'll be extra hungry. Cook some delicious egg noodles and put the rest of that cauliflower that tastes even better (aka more garlic-y) today on them with some cheese and red pepper flakes:


Now that I have your attention, I would like to introduce you to my favorite seasonal snack:

M & Ms and pecans. Way more than the sum of their parts; try it before you judge.
We all know that M & Ms are in season right now -- just look at those fresh fall colors. But since we don't want to get too full of ourselves and healthy, add some delicious fattening pecans. 
Have your mom store them in beautiful jars so that you don't have to worry about portion control. Just pour out as many as you want. And then take some to work in a tupperware. This high fat/calorie/sugar snack will keep you feeling full for hours, especially if you eat a lot of it.

I moss you,
Tofu
