How to Freeze an Avocado -2 Easy Hacks

These are two of the best freezer hacks for preserving avocados.

How many times have you purchased avocados only to have them ripen too quickly or turn dark inside before you were ready to use them? 

Homemade Falafel- Vegan and Gluten-free

Homemade falafel tastes the BEST! 

It's fresh, delicately spiced, absolutely delicious and can be made relatively easily in your very own kitchen! This is our favorite plant-based recipe that can be eaten for lunch or dinner.

Greek Lemon Soup

If you like lemon, you'll love this citrusy Greek lemon soup.

Imagine a simple vegetable soup in a tangy lemony broth that is easy to make and a delight to eat. This interesting ethnic recipe is one of my mother-in-law's recipes and has been in our family for generations. It is simple, delicious, lemony, and healthy. It's one of our favorites.

Have You Been "BOOed? ???

Have you been Boo-ed??

We had just finished dinner on my older son's backyard deck (with  him and his family). 

As they walked us to our car in their driveway to say good night, the kids started to scream with excitement, 

"We've been BOO'd"!!!! what a great idea for safe Halloween fun!

Fall in Love with These Vegan Gluten-free Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies are all the rage this season. I love that this  tasty treat is healthy and yet low in calories and Weight Watcher points! 

With only 3 ingredients, this basic pumpkin cookie has 1 point per serving of 2 cookies.  (without the chocolate topping).  I use whole oats ( gluten-free oats ), pumpkin puree and or applesauce and pumpkin spice. 

Creamy Radish Soup

   

Do you like radishes? It's fall and I am definitely into making all kinds of soup. Creamy radish soup sounds unusual to say the least, but I assure you it tastes comforting and delicious. 

Instant Pot Red Lentil and Quinoa Soup

Are you ready for soup? This Instant Pot red lentil and quinoa soup is thick, spicy, and creamy! (of course any soup you can make in the Instant Pot can be made on the stove top with more liquid and longer cooking time-see notes for directions below)
