These Addicting Stuffed Mushrooms are one of those

These Addicting Stuffed Mushrooms are one of those appetizers that will be gone within seconds 🍄 Seriously, bring these to your holiday party and I will be SHOCKED if you don’t have people begging for the recipe. They are super easy to make too 😘
.
Ingredients:
16 oz whole cremini mushrooms
3 oz goat cheese (cream cheese is a good sub!)
3 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 tbsp fresh thyme + more to garnish
1/4 cup bread crumbs
3 tbsp grated Parmesan
Kosher salt & pepper
Olive oil or butter
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Remove the stems from your mushrooms with your hands (they will pop right off). Place the mushroom cap side down on a baking sheet and place the stems in a bowl.
Chop and sauté the mushroom stems in 1 tbsp of butter or oil for about 5 minutes or until soft.
In a medium bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, goat cheese, thyme, mushroom stems, kosher salt & pepper.
Spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps, top with grated parm and breadcrumbs then bake for 15 minutes. Garnish with thyme and serve!

Are you team Garlic Parmesan Green Beans or Green

Are you team Garlic Parmesan Green Beans or Green Bean Casserole? 🦃 I have a serious obsession with Green Bean Casserole (so does my entire family), but there’s def room for both of these recipes on my Thanksgiving table 😋 The Garlic Parmesan Green Beans are honestly part of my weekly meals year round too! You can even top them with some crispy onions to give them more of a holiday feel. Both recipes can be found on my Thanksgiving Menu- link in my bio! There’s tons of tips, ideas, plus a downloadable menu and grocery list! 🧡 Making some cocktails tomorrow for you all too 😜

Did you know that in a recent study done by Jewish

Did you know that in a recent study done by Jewish moms they found that Matzo Ball Soup cures literally everything? But for real, every time I’m sick my mom makes me order Matzo Ball soup and 10/10 times it makes me feel sooo much better. Regardless if you are sick or not, this soup is my all time favorite during the winter. It’s soooo easy to make too. I personally use the @manischewitzco mix for my matzo balls and they are SO FIRE 🔥 Sometimes the key to being a good cook is knowing when to go for the boxed stuff (in my opinion). 😉
.
Ingredients:
Mazto Balls:
1 package @manischewitzco matzo ball mix (9-10 balls)
2 eggs
2 tbsp oil (I used avocado)
Noodle Soup:
1 cup egg noodles
8 cups chicken broth (veggie works too)
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stocks, chopped
1/2 onion, diced
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
Kosher salt and pepper
Fresh parsley and dill to garnish
Instructions:
Make the mazto ball mixture according to package (this is when you will need the eggs and oil) and set aside in the fridge while you make the soup. Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add your oil then the carrots, onions, celery, ginger and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 5-6 minutes until fragrant then add the broth and bring the heat to high for the broth to boil. Once boiling, form the matzo mixture into balls and drop in the broth. Add in egg noodles, turn heat to low and cover for 20 minutes. Serve with fresh parsley and/or dill! Makes 4 servings (but honestly @amanda_stantonn and I easily finished this whole batch in one night).

I will now only eat Roasted Tomato Soup with Every

I will now only eat Roasted Tomato Soup with Everything Bagel Ciabatta Grilled Cheese Croutons on top 🤤 This meal is EVERYTHING. The soup also tastes exactly like Nordstrom Cafe’s tomato soup (if you know, you know), except there’s no heavy cream or even dairy substitutes. Just high quality, fresh ingredients 👌🏼 The everything bagel grilled cheese croutons are just the cherry on top!
.
Ingredients
Roasted Tomato Soup:
5-6 large heirloom tomatoes
1/2 white onion, chopped
5 garlic cloves
2 sprigs of thyme
1 sprig fresh oregano
1 large sprig of fresh basil
1-2 cups veggie broth
High quality extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
Parmesan to top (optional)
Everything Bagel Ciabatta Grilled Cheese Croutons:
1 everything bagel ciabatta roll
2 slices of Muenster cheese (or cheese of choice)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Cut your tomatoes into fourths and place on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Slice the top off of a full head of garlic, pour olive oil on top and cover with foil. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
When the tomatoes are almost done, heat a large soup pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and your chopped onions. Saute for about 5 minutes then add your tomatoes (make sure you get all the juices on the pan too!) and squeeze out your roasted garlic (about 4-5 cloves and you can save the rest).
Add 1 cup of veggie broth, salt & pepper, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then turn heat to low, place the herbs on top and cover to simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove the herbs from on top and discard (I like to leave a couple basil leaves for more flavor). Blend the soup with an immersion blender or in small batches with a regular blender. Feel free to leave some out of the blender if you like a chunky soup. Season to taste and add more broth if needed.
To make the croutons, add your cheese to each side of the bread and bake (you can do this with the tomatoes) until cheese is melted. Cut into bite sized pieces to garnish the soup.
Makes 4-6 servings!
