{How To} Roast Butternut Squash
What grilling veggies is to the summertime, roasting them is to the fall and wintertime. Nothing tastes better than roast veggies and after you try this recipe, you will never eat butternut squash any other way!
What’s in Season!?
Fall is here and the leaves are falling, the air is brisk and we are almost getting ready to say good-bye to our flip-flops (hopefully, with this crazy Cali weather) and say hello to our lovely, cozy, warm Uggs! How much I have missed them!
Salsa! Salsa! Salsa!
I don’t think any salsa can compare to fresh Pico de Gallo. You can serve it with chips, on your quesadilla, burrito, breakfast burrito, enchilada, torta, fish tacos, it goes on and on.
I love Pico de Gallo and Mexican food!
I can’t explain to you how easy this recipe is! Chopping up ingredients and mixing them together. No cooking necessary! What more can you ask for!? Continue reading
TJ’s Spicy Spinach Pizza
I am a huge advocate for shopping at Trader Joe’s, huge! Every week they bring in new items and I can’t tell you how excited I get to try them out! A couple of weeks ago, I was looking around the refrigerated section for pasta near the pizza doughs that they sell and came across these, LOW FAT Arabian Spicy Spinach Pizzas! Yes, low-fat!

Any Herb Pesto
I have to say that I am a true believer in not wasting food. You spend so much money on groceries and the last thing you want to do is throw away food that has gone bad because you just never got around to it. If you have leftover chicken, make some chicken quesadillas, if you have leftover veggies, make a stir-fry, and if you have fresh herbs going bad, make a pesto!
Salsa Verde My Way
So your regular Salsa Verde usually has tomatillos in them, which gives it the “verde” along with the jalapeños. But it also cools down the heat. So I decided to leave the tomatillos out of the equation and just make it all about the jalapeños. This recipe is ideal on any mexican dish, especially tacos 🙂 The smokey taste from the charred jalapeños and onions enhance the flavor of the salsa and give it a nice kick! Continue reading
Sur La Table Mini Spatulas
Sur La Table carries these cute Mini Spatulas that are amazing! You would think, why would you need a mini spatula when you have a regular size one? Well, let me tell you! These spatulas are so easy to use when you have to scrape away those hard to reach areas in a jar or can. They are so useful when you want to mix something in a small bowl and I love using them to scrape away any last bits of batter when baking! They are definitely an essential and must-have!
Cuisinart Appliances I Love!
Cuisinart Mini Prep-Plus Food Processor
What I can’t live without is my Cuisinart Mini-Prep! It comes in handy for chopping herbs, making pesto or just pureeing something. I love to use this product when I make hummus or my extra spicy salsa! Also, this is amazing for making baby food! (Even though I don’t have any kids right now)
Cuisinart Toaster Oven and Broiler
If you have a small kitchen and cannot live without a toaster oven, this one is perfect. The Cuisinart Toaster Oven is nice and small, yet it does an amazing job at toasting or baking whatever you put in it. Also, I love the chrome look and how it looks in the kitchen!
