Creamy Roasted Chestnut Potato Soup (Vegan+GF)
Can I just say that dealing with chestnuts is not exactly the most fun task in the world, which I’m sure any of you who’ve done it would agree with me. They’re just sort of high maintenance compared to what you get from them. However, I really like using them and I’ve gotta say I’ve dealt with much worse ingredients in my food blogging past so it’s not too bad to mess with them a few times a year. Plus, you all know how much I love to get into themes and stuff, and come on, chestnuts and Christmastime go together like pb&j! Am I right? Am I right???? Before I get into…

Tex Mex Chili & Cilantro Cornbread Bowls
Baby, it’s cold outside and I need to make something cozy! The past few days here have been getting pretty darn chilly, to say the least, and there’s nothing more comforting on a cold day then having a nice hot meal. As a result of the cold rainy/snowy weather, it has inspired me to come up with a new cozy recipe. I think meals like this are also great to have in mind during the holiday season as well. You know, when you can’t stomach another plate of mashed potatoes and stuffing (I honestly can’t imagine ever getting tired of that but maybe you do, lol). Regardless, it’s good to have a nice…

Loaded Sweet Potato Chili Cheese Fries (Vegan+GF)
Okay, major confession time…… I’ve never made sweet potato fries before. Don’t judge, it’s just that most of the french fry lovers in my family claim to hate sweet potatoes so I’ve always felt it would be a pointless venture. But now there will be no going back. I’ve opened the door to homemade french frying and everyone knows that they can be done. Fact: there will be more fries happening, a lot of em, and very soon. I think that if regular potato fries went up against sweet potato fries in a competition to see which tastes better chili-cheesified, the latter would win hands down every time. Sorry regular tatos, we’ll still…

Vegan Sweet Potato Ginger Carrot Soup & Cinnamon Toasties (Gluten Free)
This post is all about Vegan Sweet Potato Ginger Carrot Soup A Soup That is So Healthy It works so well, actually, that this soup is border line addictive, and you’ll probably feel guilty like you’re overindulging . The good news is that, for once, this is a recipe that you can feel good about going back in for seconds on because it’s full of pure nutrition. A Note on the Color of This Soup I just remembered that my soup was not as orange as it should have been because I used a white variety of sweet potato so all the orange is coming from the carrots in the pics. If you’re wanting…

Irish “Cheddar” Potato Soup (Vegan+GF)
Are you feeling lucky today? I’m feeling pretty lucky but it has more to do with deliciousness than leprechauns and clovers. I have to say that I’ve never really gotten the whole St. Patrick’s day thing but it is fun to have a theme to go with. So what exactly makes this soup Irish? Um, actually I don’t know. I mean, it’s got potatoes so doesn’t that automatically make it count. Hmmm, that sounds kind of discriminating. I bet the Irish get annoyed by everyone thinking they live on potatoes. I’ve live in Idaho for years now and I can’t tell you how many people have asked me if we ate a lot…

Easy Black Bean and Lentil Chili (Vegan+GF)
Did someone say they were feeling chilly? or was that chili? I couldn’t tell cuz, honestly I’m feeling both! In recent years, my family has become huge fans of Chili. My parents and older siblings have always liked chili, but my younger siblings have not liked it up until recently. So as result, I did not make it that often. But now, it’s a household favorite so I am always trying to put a little spin or tweak to it here and there. I love adding lentils to chili because they hide really well. We also like to serve it with cornbread. I have shared a few versions of cornbread but THIS ONE is…

Creamy Corn Chowder + Rye Bread Bowls (Vegan)
So have you had an awesome Summer? Well, my summer has been pretty great so far and I’m really excited to see what comes next. Okay, about the recipe. I have been wanting to make bread bowls for what seems like such a long time! I mean, who doesn’t love getting to eat the bowl when the soup is gone? Plus, it looks so pretty and rustic when you serve it. And I don’t know about you, but I have always loved corn chowder. I think I should mention that my soup was not quite as corny and thick as it looks in the pictures. That is due to me spending too long…
