Holiday Stuffing Bread

Warning: Do not attempt to eat this bread fresh out of the oven. It smells delicious, I know...but it is not meant for straight up consumption.

If you don't trust me, ask my husband. He insists on trying everything as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Spicy Black Bean Burgers

Dealing with worker's comp makes me want to pull my hair out. Seriously, if I didn't already have debilitating headaches from the injury, I would be getting them from this whole ordeal.

Also my husband and I were accepted to Birthright. I'm very excited! I'm hoping that my headaches will be gone by January so that I can go on the trip.


Anywho....

Butternut Squash Pasta

I'm crossing my fingers hoping that this won't trip the breaker.

This delightful dish was born of me forgetting that I left the squash in the slow cooker.

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!

Salt Potatoes

This week I learned that salt potatoes are a regional thing. I had no idea! They're from CNY because of all the salt mines in the area.

It kind of explains why I didn't know what they were before I moved here, but that's beside the point.

Quick Summer Salad

It's hot today. It was hot yesterday. It's going to be hot tomorrow and I don't think it's going to stop for some time.

I don't want to turn my oven on. The pilot lights are keeping the main room hot enough as it is.

What can I make for lunch that's quick, doesn't require a trip to the store, and won't require any heat whatsoever?

Answer: A refreshing summer salad!
