Roasted Cauliflower Soup
I was over on sproutedkitchen.com and snagged this recipe. It looked amazing on paper, but was drool-worthy when I actually made it. We had guests over and everyone was amazed at how yummy it was. And I LOVE how healthy it is. No cream or anything, but the texture was still thick and wonderful. It will be a new fall staple for sure!! Here is what you need: 2 Head Cauliflower Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 tsp. Grated Nutmeg Salt and Pepper Broth 4 tsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2... Read The Rest →
Kale and white bean casserole
I was hankering for something hearty and fall-like and found this recipe from bistrokatie.com. I loved that it added kale into the mix and was so simple. I don’t often use thyme and bay leaves so it was nice to have a different flavor than what we are used to eating regularly. I adapted a few minor things, but overall it is pretty similar to the original recipe. Here is what you need: 3 T olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 1 carrot, chopped small 1 celery rib, chopped 2...

Found this yummy recipe recently and thought I would try it out. I loved the smell of fall permeating in our kitchen while I baked.

Artichoke and “Chicken” Salad Sandwich
I love chicken salad. When I was a meat-eater I used to make it all the time, but for some reason I don’t often think of making it now with the mock chicken we always buy. When Jeremiah and I saw this vegetarian recipe with artichokes, we were off to Trader Joe’s. It was delicious and has joined our meal rotation. I’ll give you the basic recipe here which was amazing on its own, but feel free to get creative with it. Next time I make it, I think I... Read The Rest →
Homemade goldfish crackers
This is a cute little novelty recipe that’s easy to make and so much fun to create with your little babes or friends. There is minimal ingredients and you get to make the goldfish cutter! I made mine from an old cookie cutter I had, but I have seen them made from an empty soda can (which would be very easy to bend into the right shape). And you can use a toothpick to add eyes and a mouth. In my opinion, they tasted better and were more dense than... Read The Rest →

Homemade black bean burgers
I hate to admit it, but when it comes to veggie burgers or mock chicken patties we always buy the ones in the frozen section. We have tried pretty much all of the options at our local supermarkets (or Trader Joe’s) and found our favorites which are pretty darn good. But I have always wanted to have a go at making some from scratch. It’s not difficult at all, or even very time consuming so I have absolutely no idea why it took me this long. And after tasting this... Read The Rest →
