    Salted Maple Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

    November 19, 2017 - By 

    Pumpkins are plentiful this time of year. And I have been making more pumpkin-based recipes and trying new, yummy pumpkin things…which has been so much fun! Of course, I don’t want to throw away those pumpkin seeds because they are little nutrient-packed powerhouses! So I decided to try roasting them and created this maple roasted pumpkin seed recipe. And I certainly wasn’t disappointed. They are like pumpkin crack! Pumpkin seeds are rich in minerals such as magnesium and zinc. They are also rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and amino acids such as tryptophan. Add to those anti-inflammatory properties and…

    Turkey Apple and Cranberry Stuffed Pumpkins

    November 16, 2017 - By 

    Have you ever thought to try stuffed pumpkins with savory filling for a meal? You should! I will admit that growing up and even as an adult I didn’t really eat a lot of pumpkin. In fact, the only time that pumpkin was even served was on Thanksgiving Day…and that was a pumpkin pie. And as a child, I didn’t really like pumpkin pie. We didn’t really eat a lot of winter squash in general. I didn’t even eat acorn or butternut squash for the first time until a few years ago. But In the past few years, I have…

    I love quick, simple meals. The truth is, most people don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen cooking elaborate meals. Once in a while, that’s fine, but I don’t have time for that every day. So meals that are easy to prepare and healthy are good to have in the recipe box. This hamburger potato soup is so simple to make. And because it’s done in the Instant Pot, it’s a pretty quick meal too! This recipe is super simple! And it can all be done in one pot as well! I was able to brown the ground beef…

    How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot

    November 2, 2017 - By 

    It may be a simple recipe, but I started using my Instant Pot by cooking hard-boiled eggs. I have been having so much fun with my Instant Pot! I am so glad they started making the 3-quart. It is truly the perfect electric pressure cooker for one or two people. I had been wanting a smaller one for a long time. I have been single again for almost two years, and I see so many of my single friends eating out A LOT! But I didn’t want that to be me. Many of them feel as if it’s too much…

    Slow Cooker Applesauce

    October 5, 2017 - By 

    There are a couple of schools of thought about applesauce in the real food world. Particularly the type that is going to be Lacto-fermented. There are some who prefer to do raw applesauce to gain all of the benefits of the nutrients in the apple. But for some, raw apple is not an option. Some people have allergic reactions to apples. Others with leaky-gut syndrome, who are experiencing less than optimal digestion may have a difficult time digesting raw apples. For those working on healing their gut, I always recommend cooking apples and pears for much easier digestion. So I…
