Is there really anything better than a big bowl of

Is there really anything better than a big bowl of queso? And I’m not just saying that because I’m a Texan.

I’m treating myself on this (rainy) Friday with super easy and super yummy Green Chili Queso.

It’s seriously such an addicting dip. The cheese sauce is made from scratch, sprinkled with a few spices, and loaded up with jalapeños and roasted green chilis.

It’s most definitely the quickest way to make a bag of tortilla chips disappear in my house. Grab the recipe link in my bio!

Football weekends are back, and that means chili season is officially here! 🏈🍁🧡

My new recipe for Slow Cooker Chili is the perfect lazy Sunday or game day dish. It’s made not only with beef, but smoky, spicy ground chorizo, plus two kinds of beans and a yummy blend of savory spices. And all you have to do is throw everything in the crock pot for a few hours. So much flavor, for so little effort.

It’s such a satisfying dinner, and you can load it up any way you like. There are (almost) no wrong ways to serve chili. 😎🤣 I love mine served on top of mashed potatoes and topped with a ton of cheese and a dollop of sour cream. What’s your favorite way to eat chili?

Recipe is up on the blog today and linked in my bio.

Here in Seattle, the summer weather is quickly fad

Here in Seattle, the summer weather is quickly fading away… and I’m being told to brace for my first fall and winter season here. As the temperature drops and the clouds start rolling in, you can bet I’ll be warming things up inside. And I’ve got two new recipes on the blog today that make for the ultimate rainy night dinner inspo.

First, Slow Cooker Lamb Curry. Made with chunks of bone in lamb and a blend of warm, complex spices, this belly-warming dish is delicious and satisfying, and it’s perfect for all the colder, rainy nights to come. And it’s such a low effort dish. A few quick steps, then everything gets dumped in a crockpot. Six hours later, you’ve got a spicy, hearty, filling curry.

Second, Warm Potato and Green Bean Salad, which is the perfect yummy side dish, not only for this lamb curry. Soft potatoes, crisp green beans, fresh herbs and a special kick from curry powder make this dish uniquely flavorful.

Made both of these last week for me and my fiancé, and it left us

Grab both recipes linked in my bio and whip up some ultimate comfort food for dinner tonight.

Thoughts on pumpkin pie for breakfast?! I for one

Thoughts on pumpkin pie for breakfast?! I for one am ALL FOR IT... but I’ll do you one better (and make it healthier).

Creamy, tangy, delicious Maple Pumpkin yogurt parfaits make for the perfect autumn breakfast. Real pumpkin and Greek yogurt blended with warm spices and sweet maple syrup, and layered with crunchy clusters of Maple Pecan Granola.

And let’s talk about that granola for a sec. It’s nutty, it’s sweet, it’s crunchy, it’s delicious. Pure Maple Syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg bring the season to life in this granola, and the pecans add an extra flavorful crunch.

Together, this dream team makes for a quick and yummy and protein-filled way to spice up your morning.

I’ve got the perfect cure for a case of the Monday’s... fresh baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
🍪❤️

I love these cookies. It’s like loaded choclate chip and a classic oatmeal cookie collided into a sweet, chewy cookie that’s got the perfect crunch to it. Plus, I added walnuts to the dough which adds a subtle buttery bite. So yummy.

Warm them up and add a cold glass of milk on the side... and that’s some nostalgic comfort you just can’t beat. Recipe is linked in my bio!

Never thought I could be so attracted to a salad.

Never thought I could be so attracted to a salad. But here we are, and I’m shamelessly obsessed with this Bacon & Apple Spinach Salad with Honey Mustard Vinairgrette.
🥓🍎🥗🍯💛

This is hands down the best fall salad recipe there is. Crispy bacon and tart apples are the star of this spinach salad, along with creamy goat cheese and crunchy pecans. Sweet and tangy honey mustard dressing brings everything together. Like, that many fresh and flavorful ingredients in one salad is almost unfair. This Bacon & Apple Spinach Salad is the perfect pop of flavor and freshness that you won’t want to stop munching on.

(Also, it pairs perfectly with my Potato & Leek Soup which is also up on the blog now)

Grab the recipe link in my bio and enjoy this indulgently tasty way to get your greens.

This time of year, I’ll take any and all things

This time of year, I’ll take any and all things pumpkin, anytime of day. (Who’s with me?!🙋🏼‍♀️) Lately, I’m getting my fix with a big batch of pumpkin protein breakfast muffins.

These muffins are a perfect way to jump start your fall mornings. They are so delicious AND healthy - made with real pumpkin, warm spices, and vegan protein powder, these muffins are packed full of flavor and nutrients. Perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast, or for curling up with a hot cup of coffee to watch the changing leaves.
