Overnight Quinoa Oats Wow is all I can say about these overnight quinoa oats.  I never thought of doing that before but I picked up a bag of quinoa over the weekend with no idea for it. A few google searches later and I saw quinoa as overnight oats.  Huh.  I wasn’t sure I would like the texture of just quinoa, so I added quick...

I am going to go ahead and say it.  This acorn squash bisque may be my new favorite soup. It’s light, velvety – can I even say luxurious?!  And it’s so simple.  Roast two acorn squashes.  Throw everything in a blender.  Cook for 10 minutes.  Delish! I decided to make it more of a meal, and added spicy shrimp on top.  I would pay $15...

Broccoli Cheese Quiche Quiche is one of my favorite ways not only to meal prep for the week, but to use up leftover food in my fridge.  That is how I made this broccoli cheese quiche.  With bacon.  Everything is better with bacon! If you are new to WW, or looking for quick and easy dishes, this one clicks all the boxes.   Bacon bits can...

Last night I tried to make a cheaters version of birria consomme.  What I ended up making was homemade taco sauce! And I am not mad about it. I will try to make authentic birria soon though.  When my son-in-law saw that I added ketchup to my recipe I think his exact words were “you are not allowed to make Mexican food.”   What you need...

The secret to my quick tomato sauce is using jarred pasta sauce - it only tastes as if you've slaved all day in the kitchen!

Butternut squash twice baked potatoes are so good!  A little sweet, a little spicy and would be the perfect side dish to your Thanksgiving table. Best part is these butternut squash twice baked potatoes can be made ahead. Simply stuff the potatoes and then right before broiling, add the cheddar cheese.  Now is not the time to use fat free cheese, please and thank you....

 This roasted broccoli cheddar soup is better than Panera.  Yep – I said it! For some reason I had a taste for broccoli cheddar soup and I knew once upon a time I made one.  I did.  You can find the shitty food photography here. Back then though, I really tried to get the LOWEST points on every single recipe.  I’d add the recipe into...

This black pepper stir fry sauce was so good.  If you love cracked pepper as much as I do, this sauce is for you. I am a self-proclaimed condiment whore.  If you are too, then you probably already have everything to make this sauce. The best part of this sauce was the fresh cracked pepper.  It has a nice warm feeling without being too spicy....

Black bean soup is one of my favorite soups.  But I normally use dried beans and it takes hours to make.  Enter Instant Pot Black Bean Soup with canned black beans!  My daughter Hannah reminds me all the time of a black bean soup I made pre-blog and never wrote down.  She declared it the best soup I ever made – Hannah, I think this...

A week ago I had never even heard of vegan pakora.
