Grilled Cheese with Pesto and Tomato

Look at this buttery, crispy, delicious sandwich.

Such an easy way to make a simple meal feel fancy. This is why my husband always asks me to make his lunches - he says his are too boring.

Kale Almond Pesto

I'm cooking for 1 for the next few weeks thanks to the army. I have vowed that I will not fall to eating fast food and frozen junk...for the most part. I'm going to say some junk food is still allowed.


First up: Make some pesto!

Chickpea Hummus

I got around to making another batch of chickpeas. These weren't sprouted though. I made them in the slow cooker. Usually I boil water and quick hydrate, but I didn't feel like that today. This was my first go at making beans without doing that beforehand!

Black Bean Sweet Potato Enchiladas

This morning before work I decided to start some black beans in the slow cooker. I didn't know what I was going to make, I just started them knowing I need to clean out my pantry before we move (I have a large stockpile of rice and dried beans...by stockpile, I mean borderline hoarding :x). I forgot to make the rice in the end, but I'm ok with that!

Breakfast Burrito

I love my new cast iron skillet. I'm still working out the kinks and watching a lot of youtube videos on how to maintain in. That being said, I'm using it for almost everything and it's (mostly) turning out really well.
