These burgers are just as good as a beef burger. Maybe even better! The seasonings in the patty make this burger so delicious. I read somewhere a looong time ago that using cumin in vegetarian cooking is a good trick because it makes things taste meatier...I could have dreamed that, but I swear I remember reading it somewhere. So because of this (possibly fake) trick, I use cumin when I am making ...

Roasted Jalapeno Ranch
I have two AWESOME best friends that I've known since I was 5 years old. We all grew up with each other and were in school together from 1st grade to our college graduation. They were both my maids of honor (jointly) at my wedding, and we now live in three separate states...which is very sad. There is a restaurant in the town where all three of us went to college called "The Rock," and one of ...
Mexican Hot Chocolate Truffle Balls
Seriously. These. Are. The. Best. Things. Ever. First of all....its a truffle...that you drop in hot milk...and it turns into rich hot chocolate. Second of all...it's Mexican chocolate, so there is cinnamon, ginger, and a touch of cayenne that brings this hot chocolate to the next level. Not even the next level. The level 57 billion levels above the next level. By the way, like my Peppermint Bark ...
Peppermint Bark Oreo Pops
Alright, so first of all...try to ignore the subscript under the title of this blog that says "Light food that doesn't skimp on flavor"....because this recipe definitely isn't light. But, come on...its Christmas! No matter how healthy you like to eat, there are certain occasions in which you have to let that go and indulge in junk food. Christmas is DEFINITELY one of those occasions. If you are ...
30 Minute Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps
In my opinion, the mark of a great lettuce wrap is when you want to ditch the lettuce and just attack the filling with a fork. Which is exactly what I wanted to do while I was eating these...and while I was photographing them. I snuck several bites. Boone tried to as well...and succeeded a few times. There are a couple of great things about these lettuce wraps in particular. First of all, they ...
Crock-Pot Enchilada Soup
This is the easiest recipe ever. It is so simple...and it tastes awesome! There are so many different toppings you can add to this soup too, avocado, black beans, tomatoes, Greek yogurt, cilantro, tortilla chips...the list goes on and on. The thing that makes this soup a little different from other Enchilada Soup recipes I have seen before is that it's nice and thick rather than broth-y. I add ...
Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins with Greek Yogurt Ranch
Before I start...I just want to say that THESE ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER. How have I never thought of this before?? It's so simple. Its seems so obvious...potato skins are an awesome game day food/snack, and so is buffalo chicken dip. But when you combine the two...soooo so good. This is probably my favorite recipe I have posted so far. Well...I don't know. That's a hard one. If it's not my ...
One Pot Secret Ingredient Cajun Chicken Pasta
It has been a while since I have posted any recipes! Last week was crazy from Tuesday on. Seth and I drove down to Orlando, Florida with his family to go to Universal Studios for Thanksgiving. So I am just now able to post a recipe again! This is a good one to start back up on. Not only is it a one pot meal (which I love), it also has a 70 calorie secret ingredient that substitutes all use of ...
