Broccoli Cheese Quiche

Broccoli Cheese Quiche

Homemade Taco Sauce

Homemade Taco Sauce
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...

Butternut Squash Twice Baked Potatoes

Butternut Squash Twice Baked Potatoes
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....

Roasted Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Roasted Broccoli Cheddar Soup
 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...

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....

Pumpkin Bisque

Pumpkin Bisque
  If you haven’t tried pumpkin bisque, you are really missing out. It screams fall! I bought a small pie pumpkin, called a sugar pumpkin and had a small butternut squash and decided to use both in this soup. Can you roast vegetables in an air fryer? Yep! This is the best part of this recipe, you just air fry the pumpkin and butternut squash...

Delicata Squash Pasta Sauce

Delicata Squash Pasta Sauce
You guys – this delicata squash pasta sauce is money!   I saw my friend Courtney make a Pinch of Yum recipe using butternut squash, fried pancetta and sage. I had none of those ingredients!   But I did have delicata squash – duh!  If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know my love of delicata squash is deep. What is Delicata Squash? I...
