Chickpea Tortilla Soup

October is National Cookbook Month! I know that there are a lot of digital ways to get recipes out there nowadays, but I still love the feeling of sitting with a cookbook and paging through to find new dishes to try. 

 

This Chickpea Tortilla Soup by Julie P. has been tempting me from the cover of Taste of Home's One Pot Favorites for months and since we've been in a nice cool stretch of weather I put it on the menu. 


There's over 500 dutch oven, sheet pan, instant pot and slow cooker recipes included, and as you can see by the sticky notes, I've got a bunch more I can't wait to try!

 

The key to this one is prep work.  I worked from front to back of the cutting board, chopping the onion and tomatoes, then the jalapenos.  I minced the garlic onto the board and then measured out the corn. When it came time to add things to the pot a simple sweep of the knife was all it took. 

I used white pre-rinsed quinoa and chicken broth because it's what I always have on hand. I also swapped out the cilantro for parsley because I have the "tastes like soap" gene.   

I had picked up an avocado as a topper but it went from not ripe to overripe by the time I got the soup on the menu.  Instead I used some crumbled tortilla chips, a few squeezes of fresh lime juice, and some more diced jalapeno.  If you had leftover cooked chicken that would be great tossed in too. 


After seeing what the other bloggers are sharing I have a feeling my bookshelf is going to get a little more crowded, go check out their picks using the links down below! What's your favorite cookbook?

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microw...

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker....

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!
