Delicata Squash Pasta Sauce

Delicata Squash Pasta Sauce
Delicata Squash Pasta Sauce My love affair of zero Weight Watchers points delicata squash continues with the super easy and delicious delicata squash pasta sauce recipe.  The slight sweetness of the delicata squash paired with the tang of the tomatoes reminds me of canned SpaghettiOs – and I am here for it!  Sunday’s after church growing up I would use my babysitting money to buy...

How to Eat Vegan For A Week {easy}
How to Eat Vegan for A Week When I first mentioned that I was going to eat vegan for a week, I got so many questions!  First and foremost – WHY? My new friend Derek challenged me to go vegan for 30 days.  I counter offered to try it for 5 days.  He has an amazing YouTube channel if you want to check that out...

Chickpea Salad

Chickpea Salad
Chickpea Salad Is this a chickpea salad?  Or is it a chickpea spread?  Whatever you call it, it’s delicious! Eating veggies has always been my downfall.  Not going to lie, but I think because my parents overcooked veggies growing up (my mom still loves her fresh green beans boiled for 45 minutes) I never ate them growing up.  In fact, the only vegetables I ate...

Matcha Chia Pudding

Matcha Chia Pudding
Matcha Chia Pudding This matcha chia pudding is hands down my favorite chia pudding I’ve made to date. The vanilla protein powder gives just enough sweetness, and with the fruit on top, it’s the right amount of sweetness for me. FlavCity Protein Smoothie I’ve tried so many protein powders over the years, but they all go through me so quickly, I may as well drink...

Sourdough Focaccia Bread

Sourdough Focaccia Bread
Next up on my sourdough adventure is this sourdough focaccia bread. Truth be told, until I met my Italian (well, he was half Italian half French Canadian, but never accepted the french part!), I had never heard of focaccia bread. My first attempt to make it was in 2010 – you can check out that post here.  Please ignore the awful food photography in that...
