Creamy Pecan Brussels Sprouts

October 23, 2015 By Natasha Red Leave a Comment

These cooler days definitely call for comfort foods, and what better way to say comfort food than a little heavy cream? 😉 I love that when I add it to anything, the dish immediately becomes that much more decadent. This dish is so savory and delicious, I couldn’t stop sneaking bites while it was cooking and after before serving it to my family!

We have used this as a warm side salad, and even topped a pizza with it along with some sliced up sausages and cheese. I happen to think it would make an excellent side to your holiday dinners as well! Who’s excited about Thanksgiving?!

These 3 Ingredient Carrot Cake Mix Cookies are made in minutes with a box of cake mix and 2 pantry staples!

Hey y’all! Stephanie from Sustaining the Powers here again. I have a quick holiday treat go-to recipe to share with you today – Carrot Cake Mix Cookies. I don’t know about you, but in my family, Carrot Cake is eaten year round, not just at Easter. We especially love it around Halloween and Thanksgiving because of its mix of fall spices and its fun streaks of orange color from the carrots. Plus it’s a vegetable, so that makes these more “healthy” right? Breakfast cookies maybe?

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl

October 20, 2015 By Linda Warren Leave a Comment

Fall is here and nothing reminds me of the season more than pumpkin. It doesn’t seem to matter what form it takes, I love pumpkin anything!

But put pumpkin in a smoothie bowl – and it just about tops everything else pumpkin! So now you are probably asking yourself, what’s a smoothie bowl? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like. A smoothie that is made thick enough to place in a bowl and eat with a spoon. The best thing about smoothie bowls is you can top it with your favorite healthy toppings, anything from granola to berries, sliced fruit to nuts and seeds or even dates and extra spices. This makes a smoothie bowl so much more satisfying than a smoothie in a glass. It’s that spoon/fork to mouth relationship with food that gives you the feeling that you actually ate a meal rather than just sipped a drink. In other words, it’s perfect!

Mexican Fried Quinoa

Mexican Fried Quinoa ~ a different take on a great dish to use your leftovers

It’s safe to say that leftovers are the best thing to happen to my fridge during a busy week.

When you’re too busy to cook, having leftovers can save you from ordering take out or picking up fast food.

Something that’s really helpful is to make extra of things I can use later in the week. For example, I always double the amount of quinoa or brown rice that I make. Fried rice is the best for cleaning out your fridge. Seriously, just throw all the veggies in your fridge in the skillet and call it a day.
