This peanut butter oatmeal is a creamy, protein-packed healthy breakfast full of whole grains! The trick to when you add the peanut butter changes everything. Let me introduce you to a daily breakfast staple around here: this delicious Peanut Butter Oatmeal! Here’s the thing: oatmeal can be gloppy, gooey, or under-seasoned. But cook up a pot the right way, and it tastes like a dream! Here I’m sharing our favorite method for chewy toasted oats, and there’s a peanut butter banana variation if you prefer a little natural sweetness. Plus I’ve got the all important key: when to add the peanut butter. I make this every day (no joke) and it’s incredibly filling and satisfying. 5 Star Reader Review “This is by far, the best oatmeal recipe I ever made.

This easy refried bean dip is made with creamy refried beans, warm spices, and a fresh salsa topping: it’s an easy party appetizer made in minutes! My friends love bringing over this legendary refried bean and queso dip from a local Mexican restaurant. It’s so, so good: but they asked us: could you make it without the cheese as a healthy spin? Enter this refried bean dip. It’s seriously delicious but has no cheese. (How?!) It’s just as satisfying as a cheesy Mexican dip , without the extra calories. You can make either Instant Pot refried beans or easy stovetop refried beans , or start with canned refried beans as well. It’s a healthy appetizer I can’t get enough of! 5 Star Reader Review “Made this on the fly with Siete refried beans – so tasty – and added my homemade salsa fresca for a side for enchiladas verdes! Omg! Love the warmed beans with your spice and herb combo!” -Nicholas Ingredients You...

This vegetarian paella recipe is full of delicious, hearty flavor! A vegan spin on the classic Spanish recipe, it pleases everyone. Here’s a recipe that’s guaranteed to get ooo’s and ahh’s whenever you serve it: this classic vegetarian paella! Paella is a traditional Spanish dish that has loads of variations. Often it’s made with seafood, but I’ve tasted many delicious vegetable-based versions while traveling in Spain !  As someone who lived a few months in Spain, I am particular about my paella. And this saffron-scented rice is loaded with a colorful assortment of vegetables, and it’s a true delight . I love serving it for dinner guests, but if you’re organized this one is easy enough to work for a weeknight, too. (It’s a vegan paella, too!) 5 Star Reader Review “It was so delicious. It was easy to make although it does require frequent turning of the pan. I will definitely make it again.” -...

This blueberry sorbet recipe needs just 3 ingredients and a food processor: no ice cream maker required! It’s delicious, naturally sweetened, and ready in 10 minutes. Every summer I become obsessed with blueberries, possibly due to my obsession with picking them in Michigan. Either way, I always put on my “blueberry recipe planning” hat around now, and I came up with this blueberry sorbet recipe! Here’s what’s fun about it: it tastes so delicious and it takes only 5 to 10 minutes in a food processor. It comes out with a rich purple color, tastes bright from lemon and is sweetened with nothing but maple syrup. No ice cream maker, no custard base, no churning required! Why You’ll Love This Recipe I’ve made a lot of frozen desserts over the years (from blueberry ice cream to homemade frozen yogurt ), but these days I’m mostly interested in super fast no churn recipes. This blueberry sorbet is essentially a nice crea...
