I’m not gonna lie, sometimes feeding my daughter is tough. She is the sweetest, funniest little girl in the world but at 18 months old, she’s also a tiny tyrant when it comes to food. If it isn’t a fruit, yogurt, bread, or cheese, she isn’t having any of it. I’m fairly certain that if it weren’t for those handy pouches with veggies mixed in, she wouldn’t get within 10 feet of a vegetable. It breaks my food blogger/veggie loving heart just a little. So, in an attempt to get my daughter to eat something other than cheese, I recently came up with these delicious little Veggie Quinoa Cakes. They’re easy to make (and freezable!) and packed with protein and veggies, making them a great option for the entire family!

I love them prepared just about any way, but these Bacon Olive Oil Smashed Potatoes are my new favorite thing. As some of you may know, we’ve partnered with Queen Creek Olive Mill in Arizona to feature some of their amazing oils and vinegars throughout the year. We have been long time fans of their amazing products and I make it a point to get out to the olive mill each time I’m in the Phoenix area (I have serious cravings for the prickly pear lemonade and the olive oil cupcakes!). They recently sent us some fun product to try and the first thing I couldn’t wait to use was their amazing Bacon Olive Oil. You guys, I have been putting this stuff on everything. It’s such an easy way to add that great savory bacon flavor to eggs, salads, or in this case, potatoes. …
Our epic 8 course dinner party (lovingly named A Moveable Feast) continues with this amazing Creamed Jalapeño Spinach. Truth is, I’m a relative newbie when it comes to creamed spinach. My initial thoughts when faced with creamed spinach were not terribly positive. However after tasting it, I was immediately a convert. Really, it’s heavenly! But decide for yourself. Since my obsession with creamed spinach involves great friends, a (now) destination brewery, and my culinary crush, you might just want to read more!
