If you’ve been reading this blog for a little while, you will have noticed I liked roasting veggies. (Veggie Roast, Roasted Veggies) This time I used a cast iron griddle to add the grill marks.
Review: Braga Farms Organic Nuts
I’ve been using a bunch of raw nuts lately in my cooking. I have found that the local stores didn’t always have a great selection and sometimes were expensive. Then I found Braga Farms.

These little donuts were baked and are full of pumpkin goodness. Pumpkin pie in donut form! Give these tasty treats a try. They are sure to brighten up your morning.
Amaranth Spinach Flatbread
Since reading about Amaranth a few weeks ago, I have been eager to try it out. It is a very nutritious grain*. It has lots of protein, fiber, and amino acids. It’s very tasty too!
Easy Southwestern Rice
I was inspired to make this rice after reading several recipes about making meals in a rice maker. We both really love the flavor of this dish. The salsa was such an easy way to add a lot of flavor to the rice. Did I mention it was really easy too? Less than five minutes of prep time. Next time I will try adding some pinto beans.
Simple Pumpkin Soup
Inspired by all of the recent Recipe Redux posted with fresh pumpkin, I made a quick and tasty soup.

Banana Bread With Walnuts
I love banana bread, so I intentionally buy more bananas than I can eat in a week, so I have some left over to make this tasty bread. The bread is moist and delicious. I used to hate nuts in my bread, but have grown to love them. The walnuts provide a healthy crunch. What’s your favorite extra in banana bread?
Crispy Cinnamon Tortillas
I used to make these when I was a kid. They are a great way to take advantage of almost stale or stale tortillas rather than throwing them out. A few minutes in the oven turns them into a delicious, crunchy treat.
Orange Cream Smoothie
This delicious smoothie is creamy and tasty. It’s also very easy to make, and dare I say it, healthy. If you like oranges, you should try this smoothie.
Black Bean Groundnut Stew
Groundnut stew is a delicious and thick stew which is peanut based. It is an extremely common dish in Ghana and the surrounding countries in Africa. I had never had food from West Africa until I made this. It was great!
