Butternut squash soup is so creamy and smooth. It’s a big bowl of warm and cozy that is comforting as the cold weather starts to creep in. This butternut squash soup has a twist from the original. It’s infused with Thai flavors that make it even more rich and special. And a little bit spicy, because that’s how I roll…!

It is raining and cold outside today. A perfect day for a rich and warming comfort food like pot pies. I loved pot pies as a kid, which is why I consider them a total comfort food. This version is made with mushrooms and lentils to make it hearty and filling. Veggies like potatoes and carrots make it classic. It will even work well as a vegetarian main dish at thanksgiving, for all your veggie friends and family!

Black and blue is a flavor combination that is hard to beat! Tangy blue cheese and spicy blackening season complement each other so well, it is a classic combination. Before I started to focus on whole foods, I would put blackening seasoning and blue cheese on frozen burgers. This homemade black and blue veggie burger is so much better, and better for you!

Last week I was all about savoring summer. I even picked up a few zucchinis at the farmers market this weekend because I don’t want to let go! I finally have realized however, that I must embrace fall because those bone chilling days of winter will come shortly after. Nothing says fall to me like chili. This chili recipe is great for this time of year when you can still get locally grown peppers.

Hello Friends! This is another recipe fantastic for football season! Some thin crust pizzas lack in crust texture. You get a slice and it flops in your hand. The flavor is all there, but that’s just because you have a delivery service for ooey-gooey cheese. This pizza crust is thin and crispy, the best of both worlds!
This is my second post using yeast to make a pizza crust. I promise, it’s worth the trouble. You can let the dough rise, or not. It’s the baking method that matters. See the photos below of the dough and crust. The crust is laced with herbs, which add a fresh flavor. On the first bake, the dough will puff up into a pocket; this separation of the layers allows for extra crisping which make the crust special. Continue reading

I love to make enchiladas because they are simple. Simple ingredients and simple to prep. All you have to do is make your filling, stuff tortillas, and bake! Anyone can do that. This recipe is made almost entirely out of my pantry staples. It’s easy to add to the end of my weeks meal planning because I generally don’t need many ingredients.

I am so excited to share this recipe. Chilaquiles (Chee-la-key-les) is a traditional Mexican dish that is made to use up stale tortillas or tortilla chips. I dislike food waste, therefore I love recipes like this one. Recipes that lend ideas to use up ingredients that you have leftover in your fridge. This recipe is so quick, I almost didn’t get any photos while I was cooking. A great recipe for a busy weeknight!
