PSCB / Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew recipe on reels!

Ask and you shall receive! The Broccolinis wanted

Ask and you shall receive! The Broccolinis wanted some #MeatlessMonday recipes so let’s start with a bang! These Twice Baked Mexican Sweet Potatoes are BONKERS!!! So filling & delicious I promise you won’t be missing the meat 🙃 Here’s the recipe! Feel free to use regular potatoes, skip or add anything in the mixture, make it dairy free, etc. Have fun with it!!! xx
.
Ingredients:
3 small sweet potatoes (or 2 medium/large)
1 4 oz can diced green chiles
3/4 cup Greek yogurt (omit for dairy free)
1 cup black beans, drained & rinsed
1/2 cup corn
2 tbsp green onion, chopped
Juice from 1 lime
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp kosher salt & pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne (omit if you don’t like spice)
1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese (omit for dairy free)
Cilantro & hot sauce to top
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Although these are called “twice baked” I always steam my sweet potatoes in the microwave as opposed to baking because it’s WAY faster! Poke some holes in your potatoes with a knife or fork then microwave on a plate for 5 minutes each side or until soft.
Let cool then scoop out the insides and place in a medium sized bowl. Combine with the chiles, Greek yogurt, black beans, corn, green onion, lime juice and spices.
Spoon the mixture back into your sweet potato skins and top with shredded cheese.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with cilantro and hot sauce! Makes 3-4 servings.

The most “Perfect” Pumpkin Pie Protein bars I $The most “Perfect” Pumpkin Pie Protein bars I ever saw 😍 Added white chocolate chips bc they just realllyyy upgrade that pumpkin flavor. These have WAY less sugar and cost a fraction of the price of regular Perfect Bars, plus they are dairy & egg free! I personally think these taste much better too ☺️ Give them a try! They’re the best snack or dessert! 🎃 . Ingredients: 1 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp coconut or almond flour 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup pumpkin purée 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon works too) White chocolate chips (optional) Instructions: In a large bowl combine all ingredients except chocolate chips with a rubber spatula, spoon or your hands. Press the dough into a 9x9 square pan and top with chocolate chips. You can also form these into protein balls too! Refrigerate for at least an hour before cutting. Makes about 6 bars and they are good in the fridge for up to 2 weeks! #broccyourbody #byb #pumpkinpie #perfectbar #copycatrecipe$

WAP stands for Weeknight Amazing Pasta right? Corr

WAP stands for Weeknight Amazing Pasta right? Correct me if I’m wrong... regardless I think I nailed it 🙃 Tweaked my Weekday Mac & Cheese a bit! Here’s the recipe 🤍
.
Ingredients:
3 cups cooked pasta
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I used @traderjoes unexpected cheddar)
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp all purpose regular or gluten free flour OR 1 tsp tapioca flour (you can skip this if needed but the cheese sauce won’t be as thick)
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Red chili flakes (optional)
Steamed broccoli (optional)
Instructions:
Cook pasta according to package. Tips: generously salt your pasta water and do NOT rinse your pasta.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter down then add the flour and whisk to combine. Add the milk, continuing to whisk, until combined and brought to a simmer. Then add in your cheese until melted and whisked smooth. The sauce should be thick but runny. To make it thicker add cheese and to thin it out add milk.
Remove the pan from heat and fold in cooked pasta. Stir in the broccoli and seasonings to taste. Makes about 4 servings!

First day of fall calls for a dessert recipe! My w

First day of fall calls for a dessert recipe! My whole house smells like these Peach Pie Bars and I am SO happy about it 🥰 I’ve never been good at baking, so when I very first made these with raspberries a couple years back (Raspberry Crumble Bars on the blog), I decided I’d just use this same recipe to go with each season 😂💁🏻‍♀️ I mean why mess up a really good thing you know? These are a ✨must✨ for fall!!! 🍑🥧
.
Ingredients:
Crust/Crumble:
1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour
3/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup softened butter
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1/4 tsp salt
Filling:
3 cups peaches, cubed (any fruit works here- berries, apples, etc.)
1 lemon, juiced
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/3 cup water
1 tsp tapioca flour or arrowroot starch
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add in the peaches maple syrup, lemon juice and cinnamon. Whisk together the tapioca flour and water then add to the pot (this thickens the mixture). Let simmer over medium heat for about 10 mins. I like to break up the fruit with a wooden spoon or masher, but you can leave chunks if you’re into that!
For the crumble mix all ingredients in a food processor until mixed well (you can also use your hands if you don’t want to whip out the food processor). Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper or grease with coconut oil and use about 3⁄4 of the dough to line the bottom, leaving about 1 cup aside for the crumble. Press dough into the dish and bake for 20 m-25 mins until it’s light golden brown. Remove from the oven and top with your peach mixture. Use the remainder of the dough to crumble on top on. Place back in the oven for 15 mins. Cut into squares and serve warm! Makes 9 bars.

Slow Cooker Honey Sriracha Chicken is one of my Su

Slow Cooker Honey Sriracha Chicken is one of my Sunday staples! 🌶 Been making this long before the days Brocc even existed and it still goes HARD. I spent last week in Ojai relaxing then the weekend in San Diego doing some non-food related work, which means I’ve been gone from my kitchen for far too long. Get ready for lots of good foods coming your way this week, she’s ready to COOK!!! 🤍
.
Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp sriracha
1/2 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
2 minced garlic cloves
1 lime
2 tsp tapioca starch or arrowroot flour (optional)
Sesame seeds, red chili flakes, and sriracha mayo for topping
Instructions:
Place chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces in your slow cooker and turn the heat to high. Whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic and lime juice. If you’re adding tapioca flour (this thickens the sauce), whisk into 1/4 cup water first then add to the sauce. Pour over the chicken and cook for 2-3 hours on high. Can also be done on the stovetop!
I topped with sriracha mayo (1/4 cup mayo + 1 tbsp sriracha + 1/2 tsp sesame oil), sesame seeds and red chili flakes. Served with steamed broccoli and brown rice. Makes about 4 servings!
