Last week I didn't have to travel so I cooked it up in the kitchen! I've been trying tons of new recipes since fall hit.
I've never been a big fan of sweet potatoes. People gush over their sweet potato fries, etc. and I do not enjoy them. But then I came across this Spicy Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup. Chipotle? I'll give it a try. This actually turned out pretty amazing and it gave me a chance to use my blender, which I haven't used before and I got off craigslist about a year ago (at least).
Yum.
(Yes, I added way more chipotle than the recipe calls for.)
Then I decided to try cooking kale (and farro for that matter). I decided to try Melted Kale with Farro and it was a bust. Pretty sure I didn't make it correctly. I think I added too much broth because it was quite soupy. It tasted good though so you bet I ate it all. And strangely, it tasted better day 2 after I let it simmer for awhile. Much less soupy.
Since we're talking broth...
Do you buy broth in a box or can from the store? Personally, I like to use Better than Bouillon. When I first heard about it I decided to give it a try because the person who told me said it was cheaper and has less sodium. So I gave it a try a few years ago and I never went back.
I've made vegan cupcakes before (delicious) but never a vegan and gluten free recipe. Why not? I made pumpkin chocolate chip oat bars.
Yum.
Yep, did you catch that? I used my blender 3 times this week and I hadn't used it before this week. I think that qualifies as a solid breaking in. (For the bars, I had to blend the oats.)
P.S. Have you heard of Yummly? Check it out.
