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.

  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...

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...

I MADE SKINNY GLUTEN FREE PIZZA! In 2016 I made a gluten free pizza recipe for a friend who had a gluten intolerance.   This was before I made the skinny pizza dough, and well, lots of people wanted a gluten free skinny pizza dough. I had that dream too! 😁 What is the difference between gluten free flours? There are so many differences between brands...

These peanut oat bites with dark chocolate are so delicious – peanuts are packed with 19 vitamins! They are the perfect heart healthy snack and these peanut oat bites with dark chocolate are the perfect #mealprep snack. I use Lily’s sugar free dark chocolate chips – so good!   These are the perfect snack - sweet, salty and delicious! What makes peanuts good for you? A...

This spicy tomato soup is delicious.  Best part is that it doesn’t taste like pasta sauce which used to happen to me in my early cooking days. Fun fact about me though is that I hate tomatoes. Sliced on a cutting board with the seed guts spilling out – ew! But I love tomatoey things. Pasta sauce, pizza sauce and one of my favorite soups...

I wish you guys could have smelled these All American Summer Berry Muffins when they came out of the oven.  They scream summer! I don’t bake much, but every time I do I feel I need to bake more.  This recipe uses regular sugar, but you could sub in Truvia if you like to bring down the points.  Sometimes using real sugar is worth it...

The app Timehop reminded me last week that it had been six years since I made a peach pie. In July 2014 my late husband hadn’t been feeling well all year.  It started with a trip to the ER on New Years Eve.  My husband hadn’t been working and we were waiting to see if his disability would be approved, which turned out to be...
