I make this easy pasta dish all the time, especially on busy weeknights! I change it up with different kinds of pasta, vegetables and protein! The Parmesan sauce is creamy and delicious, but made lighter with chicken broth. (Not as thick and “guilty” as Alfredo sauce.) Everyone loves this dish at our house!
Easy Homemade Flour Tortillas
These tortillas are so much more delicious than store bought! They’re soft, bendable and taste great with whatever filling you like! They’re easy to mix-up by hand or with your hand or stand mixer! I made them with both vegetable shortening and solid coconut oil.
Classic Ham and Bean Soup
To give this soup a nice silky texture, I partially puree some of the tender beans and vegetables. I love to top this warm and comforting soup with a spoonful of my Spinach and Basil Pesto! It melts into the savory soup and is so tasty!
Spinach and Basil Pesto
Delicious pesto with a combination of basil and baby spinach!
Our Favorite Carrot Cake
This carrot cake is moist with a lighter texture than most carrot cakes. It has just the right amount of finely shredded carrots and wonderfully warm spices.
Soft Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
These Soft Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies are thick, soft, chewy and have just enough tang from the cream cheese to offset some of the sweetness in the cookie and the buttercream frosting.
Ultimate Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake
I am so excited about this cheesecake!! It is absolutely delicious! The creamy peanut butter cheesecake filling sits atop an Oreo crumb crust and is topped with rich chocolate ganache!
Our Favorite Banana Bread
Our favorite banana bread bakes up into a nice tall, moist loaf with great banana flavor! It’s buttery and sweet, but not too sweet – I’ve reduced the sugar amount over the years and added part whole wheat flour and either wheat germ or golden flaxseed meal to “up” the nutritional value.
Banana Oat Pancakes
This quick, easy and delicious Banana Oat Pancake recipe uses 100% oat flour, which is easy to make at home (if you have some oats stashed in your pantry!) The pancakes are fluffy and moist with a lovely banana taste! It’s like having your favorite banana bread in a pancake!
Oat & Cinnamon Beer Bread (DIY Oat Flour, No Yeast)
We very much enjoyed this hearty bread, especially with some butter and jam! The beer gives the loaf a slightly yeasty taste. The cinnamon pairs well with the oat flour which is a little sweeter tasting than all-purpose flour. It toasts up nicely too! It can be gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats, baking powder and beer.
