Pie-flavored Overnight Oats

Happy “Pi” Day!!! Instead of making traditional pie this year, I decided to go a healthier route and make pie flavored overnight oats. This way, Pi Day can last all week! The base overnight oats mix is the same in all of these, but the fruit and nut combos are inspired by some of my favorite fruit pies.

Parsley Pesto

Have you ever bought parsley for a recipe, used a few leaves, and wondered what to do with the rest of the bunch? This happened to me last week- and I decided to make this parsley pesto. It’s a perfect compliment to veggies, pasta dishes, salads and sandwiches! Aside from being really versatile, the lovely

Peanut Butter Pie

Happy Pi Day! I love celebrating pi day- first because I think math is awesome (how can any cook not!?) and second because I love pie! This is a super creamy and airy, slightly sweet and slightly salty filling that really highlights the peanut butter flavor. If you are on a low carb or gluten-free diet, I’ve also made this in a Hazelnut Coconut Pie Crust and it is delicious. I’ll also admit to just putting it in serving cups, and eating it crust-less with a whole layer of chocolate sauce on top!

Quinoa with Roasted Fennel and Onions

Last week’s ugly produce box came with a bunch of small onions and a gigantic fennel. With the chilly weather we are having, I was craving something nutty, toasty, and caramelly. I decided to make a quinoa dish with them instead this week. I wanted to keep the lovely roasted flavors as the highlight, so I complimented this dish with a light lemon dressing just to brighten it up a bit. I didn’t have any arugula or baby spinach, but I imagine it would taste great in this dish. I’d add it to Step 6- right when the quinoa is done- using the residual heat to wilt the greens. Please comment if you try this, or have other variations you want to share!

Black Sesame Paste

I love tahini in pretty much anything, so it’s no surprise that I also love black sesame seeds. As the weather turns cooler, I start to crave comfort foods… like black sesame lattes! I find black sesame seeds especially satisfying, and adding it to warm frothy milk (or non-dairy alternative) feels really cozy. Making a batch of this black sesame paste makes it really easy to add a slightly sweet and savory, toasty, nutty flavor to dishes. Besides the latte, I like adding this to a chia pudding, oatmeal, and rice porridge.
