Chili & Cheddar Loaded Baked Potatoes

Posted on October 31, 2017 | 6 comments

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 →

Creamy Spinach Artichoke Quesadillas

Posted on October 27, 2017 | 6 comments

This week has been a very busy week for me (stories to come!), and has left me with little time to do my usual menu planning. When dinner time came around the other night, I was scrounging through the fridge trying to come up with a plan. I always start by looking at what vegetables I have, because I try to center my eating habits around getting plenty of veggies. When I realized the best combo I had was spinach and artichoke, all I needed was cheese and a delivery system to make a meal. I used my leftover spinach tortillas from my Zombie Burritos recipe to make these creamy spinach artichoke quesadillas! Continue reading →

Roasted Broccoli Steaks and Chickpeas with Yogurt Sauce

Posted on October 21, 2017 | 6 comments

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 →

Every year for Halloween, my husband and I visit a haunted house, and go out for pizza!

Fresh Squeezed Lime Orange Margaritas

Posted on September 25, 2017 | 2 comments

Today I am going to tell you to story of a tree. Way back in my days of graduate school, some friends all went in on a shipment to get some house plants. As a poor student, I picked something inexpensive that would provide me with food. Over the last 7 years, her name has become Miss Lime Tree. She is an indoor/outdoor tree that has produced 5 crops of limes so far. This year is a record year with 26 limes! What do you do with that many limes? Fresh squeezed lime orange margaritas, of course! Continue reading →

This fall has been unseasonably cool for us here in southern Illinois. I have been enjoying the cool temps, and hoping for a long fall. My slippers and sweatshirts have been dusted off and are getting some use, especially in the mornings. The cats love to sit in the windows and have been enjoying this early fall as well. I am usually one that takes a long time to get into the swing of fall, but I am already craving warm comfort foods. These cilantro lime sweet potato black bean tacos are hearty and filling, while staying fresh and light! Continue reading →
