Baked Mushroom Risotto with Rosemary & Dried Cranberries

November 13, 2018 by healthienut Leave a Comment

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and that only means new hearty and delicious recipes. Mushrooms, cranberries, and rosemary always call my name around this time of year. The flavors mend so well together and it always results in a crowd loving dish at the dinner table.

This mushroom risotto is incredibly creamy and lucious. Embedded with soft chewy chunks of dried cranberries and sun dried tomatoes. Flavored with fresh rosemary and homemade cream of mushroom soup. This will be the perfect side dish during your thanksgiving meal.

Believe it or not this is my first time making risotto. I was a bit intimated, but I swear that baking your risotto will not only save you a lot of patience, but will not cause you to sacrifice flavor.

Feel free to substitute various dried fruits, add nuts, or other fresh herbs like parsley. It is your thanksgiving meal, get creative!

Sometimes all you’re craving is a simple, no-fuss, healthy meal. I have had my fair share of having no energy to want to cook dinner and having minimal ingredients in my kitchen. However, you don’t need to sacrific taste when cooking an easy and fast meal.

These cumin-spiced black bean tacos are packed with flavor, texture, and nutrients. Great kick of protein from the black beans, healthy fats from the avocado and dressing, and variety of vitamins and minerals from the vegetables, such as vitamin K, potassium, and fiber.

Black bean tacos are always my go-to when I am feeling lazy in the kitchen. Simply heat up some beans with some spices, saute your favorite vegetables, and top with a flavorful dressing!

My absolute favorite dressing right now is the Green Goddess Dressing from trader joes. It’s filled with simple, wholesome ingredients and is packed with flavor. …

Yes, you read that right. Pumpkin cinnamon rolls! I could not not do another pumpkin recipe. Let me just say this is one of the best recipes I have ever made, and if you try them out yourselves you will know exactly why!

Fluffy, sticky, and goeey these pumpkin cinnamon rolls are smothered in a thick icing and will leave you wanting to eat the whole batch. Perfect for this season…or any time of year really. They are that worth it.

I did not have the intention to make these “sticky” buns, but as soon as I cut them I realized the gooey caramely goodness that was hidden under these rolls. I could not resist diving into one right away. A beautiful mistake right?

The ingredients are super simple and the process is easier than you think! …

30-Minute Instant Pot Lentil Soup

October 13, 2018 by healthienut Leave a Comment

There’s nothing more comfortable than a warm bowl of soup during these cold months. Grab your favorite fresh bread and dig into this creamy lentil soup and I am sure you will forget about those freezing cold temperatures.

This super creamy lentil soup is packed with flavors, aromas, and only takes at most 30-minutes to make. Spiced with whole cumin seeds and coriander…there really is no perfect warming spices for this soup. Topped with crunchy sprouts, red pepper flakes for a bit of spice, white sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten it up.

If you don’t have an instant pot I highly recommend you to invest in one. Especially if you are a college student. Not only will it save you from buying a bunch of pots/pans, but it takes significantly less time to cook your meals. If I were to make this lentil soup on a stovetop it would have taken an hour opposed to 15 min. to cook. Crazy right?

Simple saute a few vegetables, and toast the cumin seeds. Pour in the lentils. Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and broth. Put on high pressure and cook for 15 minutes…yes I said only 15 minutes. Viola you have a perfect lentil soup!
