RECIPE: Bacon Mac & Cheese

California hasn't had very many cold, rainy days this year, so when we do get one all I want to do is curl up on the couch, candles lit, a movie on, and a hearty comfort food on my plate. Macaroni and Cheese is my favorite comfort food by far. So I made it for the family but with a little twist. I added bacon! Normally my recipe doesn't call for bacon, but to celebrate a rare, rainy day I just went for it. This would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving spread this year too! (With or without the bacon)

Recipe: Sweet Corn & Squash Fritters

I'm always on the hunt for vegetarian recipes that are delicious and when I found this one I was so excited to try it. Now I didn't stick exactly to the recipe. I believe in changing it up to make it your own which is exactly what I did.

Breakfast Break 2

Weekends are a time for relaxation and an amazing breakfast. Normally I would be ready to eat up some pancakes, but recently I've been on an egg kick. My favorite way to eat them is scrambled, I'm obsessed with scrambled eggs. 

Saturday I decided eggs were the way to go and usually I'll have toast with them, but I had half of a bagel instead. Of course I knew I needed a little green on my plate so I opted (of course) for half of an avocado. 

To spice up the eggs I added some fresh ground black pepper, some Himalayan pink salt, and tarragon. With a little sprinkle of cheddar cheese and some avocado on top, my eggs were ready. I toasted the bagel, spread some cream cheese, and my trusty avocado mash. 

This is probably going to turn into my favorite weekend breakfast and it really doesn't take up that much time either.

Thanks for reading!

RECIPE: Pasta with Veggie Filled Sauce

I'm all for trying to stick to having one completely vegetarian dinner a week. It just makes me feel better. I have made this recipe once before (minus the bell peppers) and my family loved it, so when I said I was going to make it again they were all for it. This recipe is just a little twist on the normal spaghetti and red sauce, it is PACKED with delicious vegetables that will keep you full and happy. Now this is basically me chopping and tossing veggies into a pan to cook a bit before adding it all into a red sauce. I'm going to give you a grocery list and a (almost) step-by-step guide to making it!

Here is the final product:
