Calling out to all butternut squash fans, this soup is for you! My roasted butternut squash chowder has intense butternut squash flavor in a creamy, luxurious comfort food!
I roasted the squash and stirred it into the chowder at the last minute to help it to hold its unique flavor profile in this chowder. In leftovers, the squash will become more mellow and start to take on the flavor of the chowder. Continue reading

Have you ever tried a savory pie? They make wonderful vegetarian main dishes for holidays that everyone can enjoy. This butternut squash spinach pie with an almond crust is loaded with veggies.
Eggs act as a binder to hold the veggies together, and add a little protein. The gluten free crust is made with olive oil and almond meal, so it adds a little more protein as well. Continue reading

I spend a fair amount of time over on pinterest looking at recipe ideas and getting inspired by other bloggers. Buffalo pizza’s caught my eye there because I love all things buffalo. Reviewing recipes, I noticed that the sauce you can use on a buffalo pizza varies quite greatly. Some people use the buffalo sauce as a base, but that means every bite is is loaded with spice and their is no relief from the heat. Some recipes use bottled ranch dressing, but I didn’t like the sound of that either. I developed my buffalo cauliflower blue cheese pizza with a homemade blue cheese pizza sauce! Continue reading

These chili & cheddar loaded baked potatoes are a total comfort food classic for me. When ever I make chili, I always make a huge batch so there are plenty of leftovers for other meals. This is my favorite chili recipe, and the recipe I used for the photos. I also love white chili, has anyone ever tried white chili over a potato? I am crazy enough I might just have to try it, and report back! Continue reading

This months recipe redux theme was to create a gut-healthy meal. When I think of gut health, I think of two things: fiber and probiotics. I made roasted broccoli steaks and chickpeas with yogurt sauce. Yogurt is my favorite food-based probiotic, and it makes a delicious, creamy sauce. I choose broccoli and chickpeas because they have two different types of fiber that are both great for gut health- more on this later. Finally, to make it a full meal, I plated the roasted broccoli and chickpeas over barley! Continue reading

This month’s recipe redux challenge was to create a healthy sheet pan meal. If you read here often, you know I don’t really do the whole main dish and side dish kind of meals associated with a lot of sheet pan recipes. I tinkered with ideas of sandwich melts and veggie burgers with fries. However, I have been crazy busy this fall and put off this photo shoot until the last minute and did not have those ingredients in the house. I had planned to make eggplant Parmesan, so I converted it to sheet pan eggplant Parmesan stacks! Continue reading

With fall in the air, I know the holidays are right around the corner. I’m no where near ready yet, but fear not, there is still plenty of time. When all the family gets around the dinner table, there are always multiple diets to plan for. One easy thing to do is to have a wide variety of dishes available, and plan for leftovers. When there are only a few people dinning, my go to meal is to stuff vegetables. This is my favorite stuffed vegetable recipe, southwest twice baked potatoes. Continue reading
