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!

This was really the kicker for 2020. In case you live under a rock, Taco Bell announced that it was removing its Mexican Pizza from the menu 💔 Although it is the end of a truly great thing, I’m really not shocked. Whenever I have ordered it recently it just did not do it for me like it used it to. I’ve been making my own for the past few years and I’m secretly glad you all are going to experience the better version along with me now if you’ve been holding out 😜 Make it, enjoy it, laugh, cry, do what you need to grieve. Xoxo Taco Belle.
.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey or beef
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 packet taco seasoning
Tortillas (2 per pizza)- I used @sietefoods almond flour tortillas
1 can of fat-free refried beans
1 can red enchilada sauce
Mexican shredded cheese
Roma tomato, chopped
Green onions, chopped
Greek yogurt or sour cream
Instructions:
Start my cooking your meat (can omit to make vegetarian)- cook about 1 lb of ground beef or turkey in 1 tbsp avocado oil over medium heat. Add in taco seasoning according to package. Break up well with a wooden spoon.
While that cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with @chosenfoods avocado oil spray. Once it’s hot, add your tortilla. You can really use any, but I recommend @sietefoods almond flour tortillas. Cook for about a minute on each side or until they get crispy (you will need 2 tortillas per Mexican pizza).
Spread fat free refried black beans evenly over your crispy tortilla then top with your taco meat. Add another tortilla on top, spread evenly with red enchilada sauce (love the one from @traderjoes), sprinkle some Mexican cheese over the sauce and add a small handful of chopped Roma tomatoes.
Broil for about 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and top with fresh green onion, Greek yogurt, and hot sauce.

It’s starting to feel like soup season ☺️ If

It’s starting to feel like soup season ☺️ If you are somewhat new here, it’s important that you know I really love soup. This Chicken & (GF) Dumpling Soup is among one of my favorite soup recipes I’ve created to date mostly because it tastes like a warm hug. Before I get going on new soup recipes this fall, do yourself a favor and try this one out! You can easily replace the homemade dumplings with noodles for a classic Chicken noodle soup.
.
Chicken Soup:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 chicken breast cut in half longways
1 chopped shallot
2 chopped celery stalks
3 chopped carrots
1 tbsp fresh thyme
4 cups chicken broth
Salt & pepper
Dumplings:
1/2 cup gluten free (or regular) all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp chopped fresh sage
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp chicken broth
Instructions:
Heat a large soup pot over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add chicken breast and season it with salt and pepper. Sear for 3-4 minutes each side.
Add in chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Then add celery stalks, carrots and fresh thyme. Sauté for another 5 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
Add in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low then cover and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through (10ish minutes) then remove and shred the chicken.
While that cooks, make your dumplings! Combine gluten free all purpose flour, baking powder and 1 tbsp chopped sage. Once that is combined add Greek yogurt and chicken broth. Combine until a dough is formed.
Bring soup to a boil over medium high heat and add about 1 tbsp of rolled dough to the soup (these will expand as they cook so make them smaller than you think).
Return heat to medium, cover and let cook for 8-10 minutes. Serve with fresh thyme and freshly cracked black pepper. Makes about 4 servings!
