22 recipes | spinach, mushroom & feta crustless quiche

Spinach, Mushroom, and Feta Crustless Quiche by Budget Bytes

I made this as a quick and easy lunch one week day. It was so easy that I popped it in the oven and promptly forgot about it once I went back to finishing my work. Which explains the more-than-golden-brown color on my quiche.

Aside from the color, the combination of cheeses was quite delicious. And the spinach and mushroom made the whole dish healthier. Which just made me feel less guilty about the cheese in the dish. That is a very good thing, of course.

The texture of this dish is really more like a frittata, except you don’t have to cook it on the stove top before putting it in the oven. And even the leftovers for breakfast and lunch the next day were yummy.

I would absolutely make this again.

Except this time, I would definitely keep an eye on it.

22 recipes | one-pan pasta

One-Pan Pasta by Martha Stewart

After seeing this recipe being pinned multiple times on Pinterest, I finally decided to try it for myself.

And I really liked it! Maybe because of the fact that it’s all in one pot, which saves lazy me from having to do extra dishes (ha). But aside from that, I just loved the novelty of cooking everything in one pot and have it come together so nicely.

I couldn’t find any basil at the grocery store on the day I made this, hence the lack of color. Now I can only imagine how much dimension the basil would add to this already flavorful dish.

I guess I’ll just have to make it again to find out.

22 recipes | chicken with mustard cream sauce

Chicken with Mustard Cream Sauce by Pioneer Woman

Pioneer Woman always makes her recipes sound so delectable, and she’s always right.

Because this was extremely delicious. And while my cream sauce didn’t quite thicken like how I’d expected it to, it was all finished nonetheless. For the recipe, I used white wine instead of brandy, and chicken thigh instead of chicken breast. But it was all super yummy either way.

22 recipes | rosemary balsamic potatoes

During one of the weeks of my blog break, I really got on a roll with trying out new recipes. So I’ll be sharing them with you all over the next couple of weeks!

Rosemary Balsamic Roasted Potatoes by Let’s Dish Recipes

First up are these roasted balsamic potatoes.

I generally quite like balsamic vinegar, so this was a nice twist to regular roasted potatoes. I served this dish as a side for one of the dinner meals, and it was pretty good. Although I am may have been slightly enthusiastic with the balsamic vinegar so it was a little too tart for my liking. And my potatoes ended up needing much longer than 5-10 minutes in the oven unlike what the recipe stated, so I had to make adjustments to the cooking time.

But these came together quickly altogether, and were so easy to do!

22 recipes | ferrero rocher nutella cupcakes

Ferrero Rocher Nutella Cupcakes by Lick the Bowl Good

ferrero-nutella-cupcakes1

I don’t know if these technically count as cupcakes, because they don’t have the traditional buttercream/cream cheese frosting. Either way, cupcakes and I have a love-hate relationship. Sometimes they turn out beautifully; other times, they stress me out to no end. But I love that these cupcakes turned out wonderfully with no stress at all. The chocolate cupcakes came together easily and the “frosting” was so easy to put together.

Plus, the thought of Nutella AND Ferrero Rocher together for this Nutella-loving girl was too good to pass up.

Interestingly, the chocolate cupcake recipe for this uses chocolate syrup instead of cocoa powder as most other chocolate recipes do. However,  this cupcake base didn’t impress me – it was a little dry and wasn’t one of the better chocolate cake recipes that I’ve tried. But the combination of Nutella and Ferrero Rocher more than made up for the lack of flavor that the chocolate base was.

How do you resist such layered goodness of chocolate cake, Nutella and Ferrero Rocher?

We ate a couple, and I stored the leftover cupcakes in the fridge. I suppose there’s no reason not to store them outside. But I decided against that in the end, because of how humid things get around here, and because I wanted to ensure that the Ferrero Rocher remained crisp. So the refrigerator it was. Or you could always store them in an airtight container. Problem solved.

22 recipes | snickerdoodle blondies

Snickerdoodle Blondies by My Own Sweet Thyme

snickerdoodle-bars-1

I think it seems like snickerdoodles have a very special place in my heart. The reason? They were one of the first cookies I remember learning how to bake. I had a Betty Crocker Cookie Recipe book and snickerdoodles were one of the things I kept making whenever I needed cookies. (Chocolate chip cookies are the exception to this, but let’s just focus on snickerdoodles for now, shall we?)

But I stopped making them after awhile, for some reason, and just never quite got to them again.

Then I came across this recipe for Snickerdoodle Blondies and they combined all the goodness of snickerdoodles into one easy bar! My friend and I made this for our baking date and I think they turned out pretty well – these blondies are soft and crumbly, pretty much all you could ever want in a snickerdoodle (: Plus, it came together in about fifteen minutes, which is definitely bonus brownie blondie points. No pun intended, ha.
