You know when you have a bunch of veggies sitting in the fridge and it’s cold and rainy outside, this is what you make. This is a tomato base chicken broth soup with shaved fennel, corn, fresh peas, onion, a whole lot of fresh spinach, cannellini beans, and Israeli couscous. I told you it’s pretty much a refrigerator cleaning, but it is so good and so healthy and so fresh that it’s perfect for a cold spring night. The beauty of soups like this, besides being a perfect way to use up small amounts of veggies, you can keep seasoning it until it taste perfect to you, there’s really no recipe to follow or flavor that you are trying to hit, just some soul satisfying goodness :) it’s even a bonus when there’s enough left over to fill up a couple mason jars for the next few days 👌 . . . #foodporn #foodblogger #vegitable #soup #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #eatclean #eatgoodfood #feedfeedvegan #homecooking #homemade #comfortfood #getinmybelly #f52community #foodphotographer #foodstyling #eeeeeats

We don’t really celebrate Easter but we do celebrate spring and the change of the season and the anticipation of fresh veggies from the garden and farmers markets….we also have a lot of wild rabbits around here so I guess we celebrate them too 🐇 So here’s a little throw back to a couple Easter time goods. I don’t do elaborate breakfast-I do simple and good breakfast and blueberry waffles are always a home run-you can’t not love them with fresh blueberries, it impossible. Also spring peas simply cooked with mint, a little egg and lemon vinaigrette-pretty much goes with everything. And finally-deviled eggs-man how i love these-so versatile and good. Happy Spring celebration! I hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend! . . . #foodporn #foodie #easter #spring#springfood #eatfresh #yummy #makeitdelicious #sharewithfriends #feedfeed #pnwphotographer #pnwwonderland #eeeeats #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #foodislove

Stuffed Poblano Peppers. -cut your peppers either in half or lay them on their side and just cut off enough to open them up, kind of like adding a moon roof. **before you do this you can also char them over open flame on your gas grill to blister them a bit for more flavor but you don’t have too. -Now clean out the seeds. -Brown up some ground chicken with diced onion. -season the meat with salt pepper, cumin, garlic, Mexican oregano, little chili powder, and a pinch of cayenne. -After the meat has browned, add black beans (rinsed and drained) and some frozen corn or fresh if you have it. -At this point is when I add tomatillo sauce as well as pico de gallo for some good quick flavor. I also add a few shakes of whichever hot sauce I choose to use. -Taste to make sure it is spicy enough and zesty enough and hot enough and if you need more of anything, this is the time to add it. -Now grab a baking dish and cover the bottom of the baking dish with either some pico de gallo or an enchilada sauce is also good or a Verde sauce, whichever you personally like the best. I used a mixture of pico de gallo, and a little enchilada sauce with some hot sauce, you want just enough to cover the bottom and make just a little bit of a bed for the peppers to sit on. -Now arrange the peppers in the pan and then stuff them with the meat mixture and top with a little bit of cheese. You can choose which ever cheese you like, I chose queso fresco. If you want, you can add more cheese, but I was going for a little lighter version than a heavy cheese version. -Now place covered in a 425° oven for about 20min then remove the aluminum and bake for another 20 minutes until everything melts together and the peppers soften up and everything looks and smells amazing -Serve each pepper topped with some shredded cabbage, avocado, cilantro and I put spiced pickled veggies on top as well. Hope this inspires you to try this-you won’t be bummed out you did! . . . #foodporn #foodstagram #mexicanfood #yummy #peppers #poblano #healthyfood #healthyeating #feedfeed #homecooking #dinner #chicken #tasty #foodphotography #instafood #makeitdelicious #avocado

Craving summer? Tired of the rain and snow? Well these little coconut granola banana pancakes can help make you feel like you’re sitting in the sun somewhere tropical with a cool ocean breeze….well maybe 😉 So now either make your pancake batter from scratch or use box doesn’t matter-smash up one banana per three to four pancakes you’re going to make, I just peel and place soft banana on a cutting board and smooch with a fork. Mix the bananas into the batter. Scoop your batter onto grill pan and as they are setting up take a little palmful of granola-I LOvE Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Granola for this. Once ready flip and continue like normal pancakes. When they are done and plated top with a few more banana slices and more granola and maple or whatever syrup you choose. These are so good and so fresh and happy feeling you might forget the cold for just a minute😉 🍌Tip! Save a little bit of the smooched banana and mix it into your butter for the pancakes-it’s basically honey butter but with banana instead! So good. . . . #foodporn #yummy #bananapancakes #coconut #healthylifestyle #breakfast #brunch #feedfeedbaking #granola #goodfood #buzzfeedfoods #tasty #pancakes #traderjoes #foodphotography #sonyalpha #picoftheday

I’ve never liked the word “foodie”-I think it’s snobbish or somehow makes you sound like a know it all…could just be me. I do think something has happened in our food culture that fancy food or high end food or even “good” food requires a lot of skill, tools, money, wild ingredients and an incredible talent in the kitchen. I don’t think that’s the case. I am a food appreciator- not only for the fact it gives us life and sustenance but it’s beauty. All ingredients were once living things or still are, we don’t eat anything that at one point in time wasn’t living and thats super cool. With that said sometimes the best food is the stuff you haven’t messed with too much. Take the simple egg, crack it in a pan, no need to whisk it before in a bowl and add water or milk-that’s fuss. Just crack a few in a warm pan-throw in some rough chopped spinach, some green onions, salt and pepper and scramble. Done. I like to add hot sauce and a little cojito or queso fresco cheese and call it a day. Eat this as is or with a tortilla. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. Simple food doesn’t mean flavorless or lacking creativity, it means eating good ingredients, not processed, when they are ideally in their prime and with little fussing. Enjoy whatever it is that you like to cook and make it simple and good. . . . #foodporn #simple #simplefood #yummy #eggs #spinach #eattherainbow🌈 #eatclean #healthyfood #healthybreakfast #healthyliving #feedfeed #foodphotography #foodstagram #eeeeeats #bonappetit #sonyalpha

Sundays are for biscuits…well at least cold wet Sundays are. There is a million different recipes out there to make biscuits and even some really good canned biscuits (Trader Joe’s is a favorite of ours) so it doesn’t matter how you get or make them it’s just that you do get them or make them and go ahead and add a little *too much honey-those bees worked very hard for you so show them some appreciation 😉🐝 . . . #foodporn #foodstagram #foodphotography #feedfeed #feedfeedbaking #biscuits #honey #bees #sundayfunday #brunch #breakfast #makethetime #foodandwine #bonappetit #sonyalpha #foodstyling #

This soup is so freaking good-seriously surprisingly good. One of the nice parts about this soup is again-it’s super easy and comes together so fast and I LOvE that about good food! It doesn’t have a name-it’s just “white bean and chicken with cilantro oil drizzle” I guess. All I did was chop up half an onion, a couple carrots, about four stocks of celery and threw them in a pot with some olive oil. Sautéed them up then added a few diced up chicken thighs and cooked them all together. I seasoned this with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder and some Trader Joe’s Ajika Georgian Seasoning. After the veg and chicken cooked together for a few minutes I added some chicken stock and added some Knorr Tomato Bouillon with Chicken (this stuff is legit good!) and a few big shakes of hot sauce (I love Cholula) and brought to a simmer. Then I added about half a bag of sweet frozen corn and two cans of drained white beans. I let this all hang out together for a while to get aquatinted then took some of the beans out snd with my emmersion blender blended them just to thicken it up a little-you could also just make a corn starch slurry as well. Let this all thicken up a bit then do some final seasoning and serve with a drizzle of cilantro oil (I make this at home-or you can leave it out) This soup is SO good BUT the key take aways here are Knorr Tomato Bouillon (found in the Mexican section of the grocery store) and the Ajika seasoning from Traders. I love this soup and it’s totally going to be in heavy rotation at our house !

Feel like mixing up a little eggplant parm? This is a little switch I did to make this a little bit different and a little healthier. It’s eggplant parm with olive oil, garlic and Calabrian chili pasta topped with crispy oven baked eggplant. This couldn’t be easier to make, first slice your eggplant about a quarter inch thick, salt and let them set aside for about and hour to pull the moisture out then dab them dry. Season a couple cups of Panko bread crumbs with granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and about 1/2 cup of parm-now set aside. Crack a couple eggs and whisk, then add a few big splashes of hot sauce and salt and pepper. Soak the eggplant in the egg for a few min then drag them through the panko and really pack it on there. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment and drizzle olive oil over each one. Pop in the oven at 450 for about 40 min or until crisp. Now with your cooked pasta add some olive oil (a nice amount) garlic, salt and pepper and a little bit of Calabrian chilis (they are hot so be cautious😉) Now the last couple min the eggplant is in the oven spoon over a little marinara and mozzarella until melted. When all melted plate up your pasta, top with a couple eggplants and some extra parm and there you go! It’s light, it’s crispy and it’s easy! Let me know what you think if you try this! 😉 . . . #foodporn #foodie #eggplant #eggplantparmigiana #pasts #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #yummy #eeeeats #goodfood #makeitdelicious #foodphotography #photooftheday #feedfeedvegetarian #getinmybelly #easydinner #quickandhealthy #seattlefoodie #bonappetit #foodandwine #sonya7iii

Wontons in pho broth. Yum. (Wontons are store bought-broth is bought as well then just jazzed up a little) a little carrot, a little cilantro, a little lime and a little chili crisp and the charred green onions are just showing off 😉 Fast, easy, healthy and boujee comfort food. It’s seriously so good. . . . #foodporn #foodstagram #foodstagram #foodie #foodgasm #wonton #soup #confortfood #yummy #feedfeed #foodforthought #easydinner #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #lifeandthyme #chilicrisp #sichuan #foodphotography #photooftheday #photographer #sonya7iii #fotografia #

It’s been a bit. Football Sunday frittata(ish). This little cutie is sautéed onion,leeks and garlic layered with thin sliced Yukon gold potatoes, fresh spinach, herbs-lots of herbs-dill, thyme, chives and rosemary all fresh and chopped, big palm of parm, handful of Swiss and a handful of mozzarella. Salt and pepper. Grab a bowl and crack and whisk 10 eggs, add a nice big splash of hot sauce, a little Tabasco green, salt pepp, dash of milk, and another little palm of herbs. Pour egg mixture over and pop in to a 425 oven for about 30 min or until bubbly and golden. Top w/ a plop of herbed sour cream (sour cream, salt , pep, hot sauce and herbs again) {**I should note that this is best made in a cast iron pan or similar, because you sauté the onions and leeks first the pan so the pan will be nice and hot when you then layer the potatoes, spinach, herbs and cheese-this helps the cooking process. Also layer as you like, this is just what I like. } Also sorry-proper recipe writing isn’t my strong suit but you get the idea 😂 . . . #eggs #frittata #potatoes #washingtonstate #yummy #breakfast #brunch #sundayfunday #feedfeed #photooftheday #eeeeeats #foodie #foodstagram #getinmybelly #foodphotography #staub #foodporn #foodgasm #healthyfood #

Wanna make something beautiful, yummy and seasonal as well as pretty darn easy? Perfect side dish right here-roasted delicata and acorn squash with crumbled goat cheese, good balsamic (the nice thick sweet stuff) and pomegranate seeds. All this takes is slicing the squash, drizzling with olive oil, salt/pepper and into the oven. When done salt again directly out of the oven then pop on a platter and drizzle with balsamic, poms and goat cheese. Done. This taste great warm as well as room temp which is a dream side dish for me.

Well this should help kick of any weekend AND the holiday season 😀 Cranberry Bourbon Sour. I saw this on Half Baked Harvest and thought it looked so good and perfect for holiday parties so I haaaaad to make a trial run with it today and oh goodness-this is a hit. I pretty much followed her recipe and the cranberry syrup may sound like a pain but it’s actually really simple-also I made like a triple batch of the syrup and just popped it in the fridge for later. One of the funnest parts of the holidays for me is trying out new recipes, food and drink and I’m so glad I tried this one because if you happen to find yourself at my house this holiday season chances are you’ll be offered this Bourbon Cranberry Sour 😉 I’ll link HBH recipe in the comments. @halfbakedharvest . . . #cocktails #hoildays #bourbon #makersmark #foodporn #happyhour #foodphotography #foodandwine #halfbakedharvest #cranberry #bourbonsour #holidaycocktails #feedfeedcocktails #yum #friday #tgif #drinks

Pumpkin Bread. As classic as it gets. There are a lot of recipes out there for it and for me personally all I will say is follow the one with the least amount of ingredients or don’t follow one that has tried to “reinvent” a classic. The only tidbit of advice I will personally give is add your nuts (if you like it topped with nuts) about 15 to 20 min into the bake. This way they don’t sink or burn-I found it helps. This loaf here is topped with a mix of pepitas, walnuts a little pumpkin spice seasoning and brown sugar. Mix it all in a little bowl and top like I said 15 to 20 min into the bake-but do it fast so they don’t cool down. Have fun! . . . #foodporn #foodie #pumpkin #pumpkinbread #fall #fallbaking #kingarthurflour #yum #feedfeedbaking #foodstagram #foodandwine #tasty #bonappetit #comfortfood #fotografia #sonya7iii #foodstyling #foodphotographer #f52grams
