Life is worth living ✨ when you can have tomato soup and mini grilled cheeses for dinner. Love that this meal is (mostly) pantry ingredients and you can add a big splash of cream or some crème fraiche at the end if your little heart desires. Full recipe below! Tomato Soup - 1 Tbsp olive oil - 1 Tbsp butter - 1 small onion, diced - 2 cloves garlic, smashed - 2 Tbsp tomato paste - Splash of water to deglaze - 1 whole jarred roasted red pepper - 2 24.5oz jars of passata (can swap in crushed tomatoes or pretty much any other canned tomato) - 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth - 1 Parmesan rind (optional) - Big sprig of basil (optional) - Salt and pepper to taste #tomatosoup #grilledcheese #comfortfood #easydinner #weeknightdinner #cookwithme #homecook #easyrecipe

Honeynut Squash would be another great drag name if anyone wants to take it. This was sooooo good and you can take it in a sweet or savory direction depending on your taste. Recipe below! Honeynut Squash Soup - 4 honeynut squash, peeled and diced large (Heads up: There can be some size variation with these! You’ll need enough for about 5 cups of diced squash in total, so you may need more than 4!) - 1 onion, peeled and quartered - 5 cloves garlic - Olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste - 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme - 1 tsp turmeric - 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice - 1/8 tsp fresh nutmeg - 4-6 cups chicken broth, depending on how thick or thin you like your soup. I used about 4 1/2 cups in this recipe. For the Garlic Parm Croutons - 3 cups torn bread, such as baguette, sourdough, or sandwich bread - Olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste - 2 tsp garlic powder - 1/3 cup grated parmigiano reggiano cheese - 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley #squashsoup #honeynutsquash #easyrecipe #soupseason #soup #easydinner #dinneridea #weeknightdinner #cookwithme #homecook

These days, I am reaching for easy, grab and go breakfasts more and more, and these egg bites fit the bill perfectly. Great to prep on a weekend for an easy workday breakfast throughout the week, and a great way to use up proteins and produce that you might not get to otherwise. “Recipe” below! These will keep in the fridge for about 3-4 days or in the freezer for a couple months. To reheat, I’d thaw them in the fridge and microwave them for a minute or so. Egg Bites 🍳 For this version, I used: - 3 links of chicken sausage - 2 bell peppers - 8 eggs - 1/3 cup cottage cheese - 1/2-3/4 cup shredded Gruyère #eggbites #easybreakfast #breakfastideas #breakfastrecipes #mealprep #easyrecipe #cookwithme #vlog
