Instead of just a single recipe today, you're going to get an actual blog post :)
AND you should get tapping the heart for this one, because I'm delaying my long run to give you all this information! (Don't worry, I'm still going :) Just a quick delay!)
I like a very minimal home and pantry if you haven't noticed by now! My pantry is small so when it starts to fill up I think it looks messy and chaotic, and truthfully it bothers me. I find a lot of joy in making pantry meals because it feels good to use what we have so nothing goes to waste! About once every 6 weeks I "challenge" myself to use up open items or things we haven't been using in some way to make a few meals that we'll love.

Here's what I came up with that I'm sharing today:
-Creamy Corn Potato Chowder
-Oil Free Italian Dressing
-Creamy Red Lentil Soup
-One pot "spaghetti os"
CREAMY CORN CHOWDER SOUP:
Ingredients:
-5 medium russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
-2 cans corn (drained)
-2 cups milk (I used a coconut almond blend and it made the soup so creamy!)
-4 cups homemade veggie broth
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp paprika
-1 onion chopped
*Add onion to your dutch oven, add a little veggie broth and sauté
Once translucent add in all other ingredients and bring to a boil
Boil for 12 minutes or until your potatoes are tender
I added about 1/2 of my soup to my high speed blender and made creamy than added it back to the rest of the soup so my soup was a super creamy and thick but still had chunks of corn and potatoes
10/10 recommend!!
CREAMY RED LENTIL SOUP:
ingredients:
-1 cup dry red lentils
-1 onion chopped
-1 green bell pepper chopped
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp chayenne
-1/2 tsp cumin
-4 cups veggie broth
-2 cups water
*Add onion and peppers to your dutch oven, sauté with veggie broth until onion is translucent
Add in all other ingredients and bring to a boil, cook for about 12 minutes than add your soup to a high speed blender and blend on the soup setting for 60 seconds until creamy and smooth
OIL FREE ITALIAN DRESSING:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar *can substitute for red wine or white
3 tbsp Italian seasoning
3 tbsp stone ground mustard
1/2 tsp salt
*Add all ingredients to a recycled jar, add the lid and shake well! I used this dressing on top of quinoa and brown rice with a side of veggies
ONE POT SPAGHETTI O's:
Ingredients:
-1 can chickpeas
-10 oz pasta (any type!)
-3 tbsp tomato paste
-3 tbsp dried onion
-1 tbsp garlic powder
-1 cup crushed tomatoes
-4 cups water or veggie both
-1/2 tsp salt
*Add all ingredients to your dutch oven, bring to a boil and cook pasta per the box instructions
Once pasta is tender, I like to turn off the heat and let the dish sit for about 5-10 minutes to cool but also to let the sauce thicken a bit
