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.

  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...
