It’s the last Monday of the month! That means I’m teaming up with my friends Come Home for Comfort and Polka-Dotty Place to share our favorite recipes from this past month that you HAVE to try!

Butter Chickpeas | This was a super easy AND delicious recipe to have when the weather got cooler. You can certainly add to the vegetables you add. I also cooked up some tofu to include for extra protein. But it is the perfect recipe!

DIY Apple Cookies | One day I was cruising pinterest for a fun kid-friendly recipe to use with our oversupply of apples. And then I saw this one! It’s a great recipe to offer up during a play date, where the kiddos can decorate their own cookies. You can also play around with toppings and spreads. It was a great idea!

Skillet Tamale Pie | I was craving chili one night but didn’t necessarily want a bowl of it… I wanted something a little more… sturdy… Would that be the best way to describe this? In place of the meat I just added some of my favorite vegetarian burger crumble. It’s perfect for this kind of recipe! Bonus – Feasting at Home has become one of my new favorite food bloggers.

Making the Perfect Black Beans | I have a few “from scratch” black bean recipes that I like, but this one was delicious! One day, watching Instastories, one of my friends said this was her go-to black bean recipe. I had to try it! And it was amazing. This one did take a bit longer to cook. I have a favorite when I need fresh, cooked beans in a hurry, but these were perfect for a rice-and-beans dinner.
