Black Bean Veggie Chili

January 13, 2020 by Gina +

What's better than a big bowl of chili on a cold night. I pulled out this black bean and vegetable chili from the archives, updated it a bit, and loved it! I should have done that sooner. We both really enjoyed it and since it's a great cook once, eat twice meal, it's just the kind of recipe we use regularly. Two types of beans for protein and fiber, lots of veggies, and good spices, make

Buffalo Quinoa Burgers

January 6, 2020 by Gina +

We love a good veggie burger in our house and these are at the top of the list. Since I first made them, we've already had them several times in only a couple weeks. That to me means they're a crowd favorite. I think aside from how good they are, I love them because they are so simple. Easy, whole ingredients is what I need more nights. Plus, we can make a bunch for later in the week or

Meatless ‘Meatballs’

December 12, 2019 by Gina +

This recipe is an oldie from the archives, updated. I stumbled on it and added it to out weekly meal plan, a few times. We loved them that much. They have so much flavor, the spaghetti they're served over needs no sauce, unless you want it. And they are surprisingly simple. Mostly white beans, onion, breadcrumbs and good seasoning. I've tried many meatless meatballs, often they are too

Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

This is fall in a cake. Specifically a pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting. All the yummy spices of fall in a delicious and, for lack of a better word, moist cake. Topped with a cream cheese frosting. Perfect for an everyday dessert or to bring to a holiday gathering. Let's chat about baking a cake. A cake from scratch seems rather intimidating, at least to me. But this pumpkin
