Here’s what I made from the January Paint Bucket
The flavor of the month was Winter Vegetable
adapted from Endive Boats with Bacon, Walnuts, Cranberries & Gorgonzola from The Sea Salt
These were a huge success at our New Year’s Day gathering
I was inspired by Buttery Garlic Mushrooms {lo carb & Keto} from source and Roasted Cauliflower Salad from Women’s Day to make
Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Killer Mushroom Cream
Instant Pot White Chicken Chili from Sweet and Savory Meals was my first recipe made in my new Instant Pot. It was a huge success both in preparation and taste! I added extra corn plus a can of creamed corn for even more goodness
You can make this in a slow cooker too or stove top, directions included in the post
Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash from Domestic Superhero was the inspiration for
Broccoli Stuffed Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Garlic, Fresh Mozzarella & Parmesan

from Skinny Frozen Peanut Butter Whips from the Creative Bite
