One million percent inspiration for this recipe goes to my bestie, Megan. I have two AMAZING best friends that I've known since I could barely read (aka forever), and to this day they are still two of my favorite people in the entire world. More family than friends at this point. Anyway, they both live in North Carolina, so we try and visit each other whenever we can. Recently, I went there and we ...
Creamy Vegan Cashew Curry Sauce
Hold the phone, I just died. THIS SAUCE GIVES ME ALL THE FEELS. It is... Impossibly creamy Rich Loaded with warm, spiced curry flavor Literally delicious on anything and everything your mind can fathom pouring it on Here's the thing - I enjoy dairy a lot. I like the richness that cream, milk, and cheese brings to a dish. So I was thinking that part of paleo and Whole 30 would be a ...
Curry White Bean Dip
Are you ready for quite possibly the easiest little appetizer/party food/snack ever? This white bean dip takes TOPS five minutes to make. Everything just gets dumped into a food processor and whirled around to smooth, mouthwatering perfection. SO easy it’s not even fair! What will you use your extra not-prepping-complicated-appetizers-and-snacks time doing? Sitting down with a cup of coffee? ...
Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus
Welp, I basically just had the best day of my life. Why am I posting this at 9:30 pm? Because I was busy having the best day of my life. Allow me to elaborate. Let us travel back to Tuesday morning. My doorbell rang, and there was a lady delivering flowers to me for my birthday. I take them from said lovely flower lady, go inside, and read the note. They are from my husband, and the note says for ...
Twenty Minute Refried Beans
OH MY GOSH LIFE. I have been hardcore absent from my blogging world for so long. We were in the last few weeks of the school year, and it was my last year of teaching since the baby is coming soon (yay!), so I really wanted to soak up those last few weeks and stay totally focused on enjoying every minute of them. Also, I was busy - hi, making finals for four different grade levels is time ...
Blueberry Butter
Blueberry butter. It's a thing. And it's upping breakfast's game hard. Not that this delicious butter has to be served with breakfast or anything, but...I'm just sayin'...smeared across a biscuit or across a toasted slice of cinnamon bread in the morning? Heaven. H-e-a-v-e-n. When I have stumbled across fruit butters in the past, they always seem to use jam as the fruit ingredient. I considered ...
Homemade Green Enchilada Sauce
If you ever have the chance to make something homemade as a substitute for canned/jarred/premade ingredients, it is ALWAYS the best option! The only exception I can think of is Crescent Rolls. I've never had homemade bread as good as crescent rolls...there is some sort of strange black magic within those little cans that make the most delicious, buttery, and flaky bread that exists on this ...
Kale Pesto
Pesto is just one of those things that makes anything taste awesome. If you are looking for a way to flavor up a boring dish, throw some pesto in there, people! The uses are endless...a few spoonfuls in your stir fry, a dollop on top of your bowl of soup, an addition to cream sauce, eaten straight out of your fridge with a spoon...ENDLESS! One of my personal favorite ways to use pesto is in a ...
Ciabatta and Pork Sausage Stuffing
Stuffing? Dressing? I know that technically this would be called "dressing" because it's baked separately from the turkey, but it feels wrong for me to call it that. We have always called it stuffing, and dressing is the liquidy stuff that you put on da lettuces. And that's that! Just kidding...you can call it whatever you want. Just let it be known that I do accept the fact that the correct ...
Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce
Spaghetti sauce is just one of those things that you have to make from scratch. I mean...I guess you don't HAVE to, but it's just so dang easy to do! It's not like making pizza dough from scratch, where you have to knead it for several minutes, let it rest, roll it out, etc...(though I do love making pizza dough ❤️??). With spaghetti sauce, you just throw a few ingredients together and let it ...
