Football season starts tomorrow!! I don’t know what I love more, watching the ball game, or planning the food and drink! We love to watch the games, crowded around the TV with a plate full of finger foods and snacks. This recipe for bean dip is so simple to throw together before the game and is always a hit!

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!

Pesto and pasta were made for each other. Any kind of pesto, and any kind of pasta. Tah Dah! You have a delicious meal. However, If you have never had arugula pesto, you have to give this a try. Arugula is from the mustard family and is known for its peppery flavor. When concentrated into a pesto, it’s a flavor explosion!

I wasn’t kidding the other day when I said I was trying to get my fill of zucchini before the season is over. I’m even putting it in my desserts! Ha! If you have never tried zucchini in a baked good, like zucchini bread, or these chocolate muffins, you’re missing out. The zucchini keeps these muffins moist, which is important to consider when baking with whole wheat flour.

I am trying to savor all the zucchini and summer squash I can right now because I know the season will be behind us soon. These quick growing squash varieties are my favorite kinds of squash. I love the fresh mild flavor and their versatility; you can put them in with almost anything!

Every time I buy a large package of corn tortillas we never seem to get them used up before they start to go stale. Food waste is unacceptable in my house, so I have been searching for a way to use up leftover tortillas after we are out of taco fixings. These chips are the perfect answer.

I needed a quick, single serving, lunch today and this quesadilla hit the mark! I went to the farmers market this morning knowing that I had one tortilla left over in the fridge. I circled like a vulture checking out all the fresh produce trying to decide what I should fill the tortilla with.

Everyone has a different opinion on fries. Some like them crinkle cut, waffle cut, or even curly fries. Shapes are nice. Some like their french fries thin, like shoe string style. Me, I like my french fries thick, like these steak fries. The outsides are golden brown and crispy, the insides are moist and soft.
I do not usually eat a lot of desserts; I’m just not into sweets that much. Maybe its because sugar makes me bounce off the walls. Or maybe it’s because desserts tend to be calorie bombs that don’t lend themselves to wholesome ingredients. These cookies satisfied all my needs for a healthy dessert, and they even passed the approval test of my fiance’s co-workers!
