I am always looking for new products to use when my gluten free or vegetarian friends and family visit for meals. I am excited to share my newest find, that I used in our favorite recipe for sloppy joe casserole, with you today. Even though I was compensated for this post, all thoughts and opinions expressed here are 100% my own.
With fall and back to school fast approaching, I am starting to build a great list of go to recipes that easy to make and taste great too. My sister in law was visit recently and she is vegetarian. I thought she might be joining us for dinner one night so I did a little research on what I could make that my family of meat eaters would love and she could enjoy too. That was when I was introduced to #BeyondMeat. BeyondMeat is a meat substitute that takes all of the familiar things in meat {amino acids, fats, trace carbohydrates, minerals and lots of water} from plants and applies heating, cooling and pressure so that the result is just like meat. I used the BeyondMeat to make a delicious sloppy joe casserole and everyone LOVED it.

I love tamales! When we go to Mexican restaurants, it is usually one of the first things I order if they are available. What I don’t love is the work that goes into making them at home. So, I went searching for an easier way and came up with chicken tamale casserole. It is so easy to make and has all the flavor of a traditional tamale.

I love to cook! In fact, if I had my way, I would totally spend all of my free time cooking in the kitchen. I hesitate to call myself a chef though because what I do in the kitchen is definitely more playing than anything of actual skill.
Of course, with playing around in the kitchen, comes a bunch of big messes. I’ve been known to knock over full boxes of quinoa onto the floor or have little pieces of pasta fall onto the floor when I break the spaghetti in smaller pieces for my kids to eat. There is a little corner in my kitchen that gets all the little extras that fall and don’t get noticed because I am focused on the food and not the clean up. Then, when I run the little mini vacuum around the kitchen to do our nightly cheerio pick up, that food just gets bypassed because it is too far in the corner for the little vacuum to reach.

I love Shepherd’s pie. Like seriously love it. My family tolerates it but would rather I not make it quite so much once the weather turns cold. I try to oblige but I really wanted to give a few substitutions to my normal favorite recipe a try. So, I begged the family to forgive me as I whipped up carrot cauliflower shepherd’s pie.

We have a new person that recently joined our household {don’t worry, you’ll get to know more about her later} and she is a vegetarian. You can totally tell from the recipes I share here that Mathlete and I pretty big meat eaters so I am excited for the challenge that cooking for a vegetarian will bring. One of the first things I decided to make for her was something that I knew the whole family would enjoy: cheesy party potatoes made with delicious Velveeta cheese.
