I am absolutely not a food blogger. I love to cook (and eat!) delicious, nutritious foods, but I tend to follow recipes, not invent them. And even if I did invent unique and delectable recipes, I am certainly not a food photographer. Staging it, making sure the lighting is right, taking its picture…. all before eating it? Not this girl.
Luckily, the Internet is a huge place filled with bloggers with much more talent than I. So without further ado, I bring you some of the tastiest things I’ve made lately from recipes created by those talented bloggers. All the images are borrowed from and link back to the original post.
Mexican Quinoa and Sweet Potato Casserole from Fit Foodie Finds.
This is really delicious and incredibly easy to make. One-pot dishes are the best for busy days, and this really fit the bill. And it makes quite a bit, so we had plenty of leftovers for lunches all week.
Healing Vegetable Soup from The Lyon’s Share
This soup is amazing. Seriously, cancel whatever you had planned for dinner and go make this. I just keep making it and packing it for lunches every week. Delicious and chock-full of vegetables? Winning!
Sweet Potato Stir Fry from Fuel Your Future with Tina
I just recently discovered Tina’s blog, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. Tina is a wicked-fast elite marathoner, and she posts wicked-tasty recipes that are also excellent running/recovery fuel. This stir fry is fast enough for a weeknight and way tastier than my usual stir-fry recipe (which is really not a recipe so much as “throw some meat and veggies in a wok with soy sauce”).
PB2 Granola Bars from Delicious as it Looks
These are terrific for breakfast alongside my usual smoothie. And they came together really quickly, too. I didn’t even have chocolate chips, and they were still yummy.
Definitely try out these recipes and check out the four blogs they link to. All are wonderful (and have way better pictures than I ever do).
Do you invent recipes?

I definitely do not invent recipes – I do not like to cook so I usually make a big pot of something and have it all week. When I DO cook I usually do find myself enjoying it, weirddddd. One of my favorite recipes right now is “Kale Mac n Cheese” from Long Drive Journey. Delishhhhhh!!!

That sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing it!
These all look amazing (especially the Mexican Casserole – have to try!). I love to cook, and create new recipes when I have time. One of my most recent adaptations is Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese: http://activeharmony.wordpress.com/2014/02/13/buffalo-chicken-mac-and-cheese/
My hubby would LOVE that! Thanks for sharing!
I can’t wait to try these. And the above link: Buffalo Chick Mac and Cheese!?! That exists?!! I might die.
These all look great! I tried stuffed bell peppers for the first time last night. They actually came out pretty tasty.
I saw those on Instagram… is the recipe coming soon? They looked amazing.
It will for sure!
“Inventing” recipes for me is usually just adding an ingredient to spice up a different recipe. For instance, I add tomatoes and ground turkey to my green bean casserole. It’s YUMMY!!
Haha! I agree with you, I do the same or take out something or sub…so I guess it still applies 🙂 Those PB2 bars loooook goood!
That’s my version of “inventing”, too. Or being too lazy to actually follow the recipe and saying, “Eh. Close enough.” 🙂
Wow, now I want to go and try at least three of those recipes!!! I love sweet potato and anything to do with it. Yum!!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Definitely try that sweet potato stir-fry, then! Sweet potatoes + PB = heaven. 🙂
This made my day, thanks so much for sharing!! Glad you’re enjoying the Healing Vegetable Soup! And now I’m going to have to go make those other 3 :).
Awwww thank you so much Cassie! You are such a sweetheart! Those other recipes have been tormenting my mind too! I really hope you like the stir fry as much as I did 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I loved it! We get all our meat in 6-month shipments and we’re out of chicken, but as soon as we get another delivery next week, I’m making this again!
