Happy Monday!! I know everyone is always looking for some meatless Monday inspiration, so I wanted to share a recipe that is extremely easy, very fast, and a great way to eat a bunch of veggies! This veggie taco recipe is my ultimate “go to” recipe, just in life.
Read MoreIs anyone else as breakfast obsessed as I am?? I could have it for every meal…all the time…every day…
I also happen to love tacos! I mean, who doesn’t? So, why not marry the two!?
Veggie tacos are my favorite “go-to” recipe during the week.
Read MoreI know, I know…I make a lot of scones, but they are just so good. I always talk about how convenient scones are to have around, because you can make them ahead of time, and store them in the freezer. The best part is they can go straight from the freezer to the oven!
Read MoreGranola is one of my favorite staples to have around, because it is a good on-the-go snack that is healthy, and gives you lots of energy. I also love to have it around for a quick breakfast idea. I’m pretty sure I haven’t bought granola from the store for at least 7 years or so now.
Read MoreI always wonder why people don’t make soup more often. Soups are inexpensive to make, it feeds a lot of people, and can be very healthy! I came up with this recipe on a whim, because I didn’t have much food around my house…
Read MoreThese little Spiced Pumpkin Poppers are everything I love, rolled into one little mini bite! I LOVE breakfast food, especially breakfast pastries. Anything from muffins to donuts, sign me up. Then there is the pumpkin, yep, it's that time of year again, and I have no shame in my game of adding pumpkin AND pumpkin pie spice to everything I possibly can. Pumpkin pie spice can be bought at the store, but it is so much better when it's made at home (check out my recipe here to see the secret spice I like to add in).
Donuts are definitely a crowd favorite, and I have tackled making them at home before, but it is a process. Between the rising, and then the rising again, and then the frying, then what do I do with the oil?? It can definitely be worth it on a special occasion, but for a perfect fall weekend when all you want is the sugared donut, pumpkin, spice flavor, baking is the way to go. Plus, anything that is bite-sized is fun! I like using mini muffins as a replacement for "donut holes," because these have a lot of the same flavors as a cakey donut, but remain light, fluffy, and oil-free.
Read MoreI realize I am a little early on this one, but how can you not love pumpkin spiced everything!? By the time summer comes to an end, I am ready to pull out all of my fall decorations and eat anything with pumpkin pie spice in it. If you haven't made homemade pumpkin pie spice, I HIGHLY recommend it. You can use it in a number of things, including your coffee in the morning. It adds so much richness and warmth to a recipe.
Scones are one of my favorite things to make, and eat. They top the list of my "freezer favorites" because they are a straight freezer to oven breakfast. They are a great make-ahead item. The key to making a good scone is having the ingredients, especially the butter, very cold. I love using a food processor for this, because it's fast, and it breaks up the oats. This can be made with old fashioned oats or quick-cooking oats. If you are not using a food processor to make these, then I recommend chopping up the oats into finer pieces, especially the old fashioned. This creates a much nicer scone, because the whole oats can make the scones flat, and when you chop them up it helps the scones maintain their shape. This actually makes for a much more tender scone as well.
