QUICK & EASY SOY-PEANUT NOODLES

Soy-Peanut Noodles-12
Something you might not know about me: I’m 1/2 Italian. This means that, naturally, I love any meal that includes lots of pasta and bread. The words “low” and “carb” do not exist, in that order, in my vocabulary. It’s just not written into my DNA to be able to sustain on a pasta and bread free diet. I have accepted this truth.

Another fun fact about me: I leave TODAY for Portland, Oregon and I am VERY very excited about this trip (technically I’m going to Eugene and THEN Portland). I’m headed there with my team for a giant roller derby tournament BUT I will have 3 days afterwards with nothing to do but eat and explore the city. Please, please leave me your restaurant recommendations!

So, today we’re going to keep it short and simple. Here’s some delicious noodles for you:

They’re DAMN delicious and ridiculously easy to throw together. Easy is basically all I’ve done the past couples weeks. I’m not complaining.

Here’s how this goes:

While the noodles are a cookin’, you whisk pretty much everything else together in a large bowl.

Now, assuming you aren’t just eating it straight out of the bowl at this point, plate it up…

And top with all the extra yummy things. Unfortunately not pictured but highly recommended: fresh lime wedges. I did have them but just forgot to include them in the pictures. womp womp. They’re right outside of the frame though so just pretend :)

RANCHER’S TEXAS CHILI (CHILI CON CARNE)

-
Image
Learn how to make real, Texas chili! This is a bowl of chili made with chunks of beef and is so hearty and filling! Perfect for fall! It’s chili season! And today I’m bringing you a Texas Chili that’s loaded with all the seasonings, onion, and peppers! Texas style chili has the most amazing deep and rich flavor. A bowl of this stuff will stick to your ribs and keep you warm on the chilliest nights. September is the month of chili for me. It’s the kind of thing you look forward to at the end of the day when it’s still slightly warm in the afternoons, but that crisp autumn air starts to creep in during the evening time. When you casually reach for a cozy throw because you can feel the nip in the air and you know that fall is right around the corner. The air just smells like fall. September reminds me of brisk morning air, warm days, and breezy evenings. Of course none of that happens in Houston until about November, but still, a girl can wish. It also happens to football season, and it’s...

MEXICAN BEAN AND POTATO BAKE

This Mexican bean and potato bake is a hearty, satisfying one pot dinner with plenty of fresh veg! If you asked me what my ideal meal would be, it would be something hearty and cheesy, but still with plenty of fresh veggies. Basically – this Mexican bean and potato bake. It’s exactly the sort of thing I love. POTATO BAKE CAN BE A BALANCED MEAL! I absolutely love a good potato bake, but I generally think of it as a  side dish , rather than a main course. Think of something like  potato dauphinoise  – wonderfully delicious, but not exactly packed with nutrition. You definitely need to serve something else alongside it to make a full meal (assuming someone else is watching… if you’re alone, I say go for it…). This Mexican bean and potato bake, on the other hand, is unquestionably a meal in its own right. It’s got carbs, protein, and plenty of fresh veggies, all cooked up in one big pan – easy, fuss-free, and delicious! ROASTED POTATOES This bean and potato bake starts with o...
