Pumpkin Pie Steel-Cut Oats
Last night I was on a roll in the kitchen and whipped up a big batch of Steel-Cut Oats, Irish Style, for the week! (Wondering what steel-cut oats are? Check out my previous post all about oats.) They are really super easy to make and much more creamier than rolled oats. Since I wasn’t a huge fan of pure pumpkin in my oats (gasp!), I tried pumpkin butter, and it was amazing!! Pumpkin Pie Steel-Cut Oats Ingredients 1/4 cup of steel-cut oats, already prepared according to package 1 TBSP of pumpkin butter 1/2 banana, mashed (optional, you could add in a nut butter instead) 1 TBSP of chopped pecans Sprinkle…

Mom’s Secret Vegetarian Chili
So, I have another recipe for you guys tonight! Its my mom’s secret vegetarian chili recipe! But I will get to that in a minute… First, I want to rewind to Monday night when I went out to dinner with my awesome cousin Liz. We went to Elda’s on Lark Street for the first time, and the place was dead! We were the only people in there at around 5:30PM on a Monday night. Since we were both in a pizza mood, so I ordered the shrimp pesto pizza: a white pizza with shrimp, zucchini, tomato, cheese, and basil. We both ordered personal pizzas, which turned out to be…
