Easy Roasted Acorn Squash

5 3 Published Oct 22, 2024 Acorn squash is often served as a sweet dish, usually steamed in the oven with butter, cinnamon and some sort of sugar. I love it like this for acorn squash yogurt bowls, but my favorite way to enjoy acorn squash is by slicing it and roasting it up with savory seasonings. With roasting, the texture of the squash feels a bit more dense (less stringy), the squash is more flavorful and the skin gets nice and soft....

Easy Vegetarian Chili

4.49 79 Published Nov 11, 2023 This recipe has a base of onion and garlic, three different beans, corn, seasonings and two secret (but not-so-secret now) ingredients. Chili recipes are known for having secret ingredients! Many folks swear by adding beer, honey, brown sugar, chocolate (I’m a big fan of this one), masa flour, cinnamon or lime juice (another one I’m a fan of).

Fried Egg Avocado Toast

After learning how to properly fry an egg, it became one of my favorite things. I frequently ate it for breakfast or lunch (or dinner, let’s face it.) But one little thing is that I love two eggs, two pieces of toast, and the toast needs to be buttered. And since I’m working hard at losing weight right now, I need to cut some corners. Enter Avocado Toast. In case you don’t ever log into Pinterest or Instagram, avocado toast is precisely that: mashed avocado on toast (sidenote: remember on Gilmore Girls when Emily made Lorelai toast with mashed banana on it when she was sick?...

Garlic Herb Sandwich Spread

Ingredient and Equipment Notes Herbs – I love using up just about any herb in the garden here! Basil, oregano, and rosemary are my go-to herbs, but any of your favorites will do. This is best with fresh herbs, but if you want to make it with dried, just remember the rule of thumb is 1 part dry herbs = 3 parts fresh. This is also great with just lemon and garlic and no herbs....

Grilled Potatoes And Onions

These can also be cooked in the oven at 400 for about 15-20 minutes (just check on them to see how they’re doing) or in a panini press for about the same amount of time. Anyway, give these a try at all of your summer barbecues! I honestly think if I had to pick a last meal, it would be straight from the grill; some of my happiest memories include grilled meat, potatoes and onions, corn on the cob, and lots of cold watermelon on warm summer nights....

Handy Substitutions

I think everyone has a cookbook that they keep coming back to for good, basic recipes–you know, the Betty Crocker or the Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks, the ones they got from their moms when they got married. Mine is The Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook (I originally typed that out as The Ultimate Southern Luving Cookbook. That would be a completely different set of instructions that would probably not fit our family-friendly reader demographic…) When I was learning to cook, I read it cover-to-cover countless times and even now, sometimes I’ll bring it to bed with me just to look at the gorgeous pictures and think of all the amazing things in it that I haven’t made....

How I M Meal Prepping Before Baby

14 Published Oct 28, 2019, Updated Nov 30, 2023 This is similar to my meal prep philosophy, but for my baby prep I am focusing on breakfast, dinner and snacks. In general, I can throw together a healthy lunch pretty quickly or eat leftovers, but if I don’t have breakfast or snacks ready to go, I tend to reach for less healthy choices. Same goes for dinner… I know that if we don’t have something planned, we’ll end up ordering takeout or swinging by one of our local go-to spots for a prepared meal, so I’m getting ahead of the game!...

How To Make Berries Last

Except it doesn’t have to be this way. This little trick (as long as I do it) saves me all sorts of angst. It buys me a few days (at least) and sometimes up to a week. When you get home with your berries, pop open the container and remove any shriveled or moldy berries, or, at the very least, any you wouldn’t want to eat. Place the berries in a large mixing bowl....

Instant Pot Spaghetti

This Instant Pot Spaghetti tastes better somehow than when I make it the regular way. I don’t know what it is, but the flavors are richer and the lentils taste “meatier”.
