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…

Salsa Verde Brown Rice Tortilla Soup (Vegan+GF)
I thought I’d share something with a little bit of Mexican flair today, you game? To be completely honest, I’ve never understood why this soup is referred to as tortilla soup when most variations of it don’t involve tortillas at all. Maybe because it’s supposed to be served with them. Whatever the case it’s delicious and it’s always a favorite. It’s really fast and easy to make and it’s perfect for weeknights when you want something quick and easy. I actually made it in the crock-pot once and it turned out amazing. Most of the time I’ll top it with something creamy like coconut yogurt or cashew yogurt for that “sour cream-ish” flavor.…

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…

Harvest Time Sweet Potato Ginger Carrot Soup & Cinnamon Toasties (Vegan+GF)
Are you guys prepared for all of the yummy Harvest times foods coming your way? I think this is the longest amount of time that I’ve ever held back on a post before. I actually made this about a month and a half ago on a day that I was overwhelmed with the excitement about approaching holidays and a need to make something festive. Of course, after I made it I realized it would probably be best to wait a bit before posting as it was harvest time nowhere on the planet, so it was temporarily shelved. But not because it wasn’t a star recipe, because it was too good not to get…

Red Borscht Soup with Beet Gnocchi (Vegan)
Hey everyone, how goes your week so far? Mine has been pretty good, but pretty average. Although, something that I did do different this week was organize the pantry, spice cabinets, and refill all of my spice jars. You have to do it that way here because they sell all of their spices in these little bags that have like 2 teaspoons worth inside. It’s super annoying but I think I’ve finally gotten used to it and now I’m a pro at refilling spice jars. The reason I got into organize mode was the necessity to find space in the kitchen for some new prop items that I got this week. You guys, I‘ve…

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…
