Creamy One Pot Pesto Orzo

11/8/2024

0 Comments

We all love a one pot meal, am I right? Minimal clean up is such a vibe and my Creamy Pesto Orzo is where it's at! Everything cooks together in one skillet and takes under 30 minutes to cook!

I tagged a couple of my fave pesto recipes. For a dish like this that features minimal ingredients, I'd always recommend fresh because you'll get the most fresh, delicious flavour that way. With that being said, don't hesitate to grab a jar of your fave store-bought brand to create this recipe. It's all about easy peasy vibes.

Some aromatics, good wine, and my fave plant-based chik'n broth along with orzo, cooked down until perfectly tender and saucy. Finished with fresh pesto, lemon, heavy cream, and grana padano. Creamy, flavourful, and quick. All the good things. Head to the RECIPES page.

Cheesy Hassel Rounds

When I first tested out these hassel rounds, I thought they were literal perfection. Crisp and golden, fluffy inside, and perfectly tender. I didn't think I'd change a thing. That's when I realized almost everything is better with a golden brown, cheesy crust.

I made my original recipe for Hasselback Rounds, but this time, I nestled them in to a bed of finely shredded grana padano. After about 45 minutes, the taters were golden, tender, and that cheesy crust was crisp and savoury AF. These are ridiculously snackable and trust me when I say, you will not stop at 1. You may not stop 2, heck, you might eat the whole darned tray lol They're THAT good. Head to the RECIPES page.

Chik'n Risotto Sitch = Uncle Bens Cheesy Risotto Review

When I had the idea for this recipe, it just so happened I had a bag of Uncle Ben's Cheesy 2 Min Risotto in my pantry. I was planning on giving it a taste test anyhow, so merging these ideas came naturally.

The crisp, golden brown Gardein Supreme Chik'n Filet is always a vibe. They're easily my favourite plant-based chik'n product on the market. Thick, crisp, and full of flavour. They also happened to eb the perfect crispy topping for a creamy, cheesy risotto.

With that being said, that Uncle Ben's had issues. Head to the RECIPES page for this fab recipe and head to the BYPASS or BUY page for my scathing review of this risotto.

Sheet Pan Totchos

I'm confident that there is no one on this planet who dislikes tater tots. They're nostalgic AF, golden and crisp on the outside, and fluffy and perfect inside. They don't need bells and whistles to be their fabulous selves, but when they're all dolled up, they're extra special!

I had a hankering for tots but wanted to do something fun, so that's where this sheet pan sitch came from. Once the tots were golden brown and delicious, I melted some Monterey Jack on top with some spicy jalapenos for a little kick.

Garnish to your heart's content here you guys! I went with a sour cream and avocado verdes salsa along with black beans, red onions, cilantro, avocado, and tomatoes. I served them on the tray which means easy clean up y'all! Who's in? Head to the RECIPES page <3

Sheet Pan Breakfast Taters

11/2/2024

Breakfast potatoes in any variety are a quintessential part of a perfect breakfast plate. Whether we're talking about potato pancakes, roasties, hash, or in this case, good old breakfast potatoes.

This recipe is great because everything is tossed together and baked which leaves you available to prep the rest of breakfast and cook on the stove top without interfering with the taters. Super dieal and convenient.

I tossed some cubed russets with peppers, jalapeno, onions, EVOO, and seasonings, and baked them until golden and perfect. I finished them under the broiler for some welcome char action and then simply garnished them with parsley. They're delicious on their own right off the tray, but make the perfect companion to your next breakfast plate. Head to the RECIPES page.
