These Quick White Beans with Tomatoes & Kale are p

These Quick White Beans with Tomatoes & Kale are perfect for an easy weeknight meal!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
*save this post*⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Using pantry staples, this dish comes together easily and will keep your family feeling cozy and nourished.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Here's the recipe:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
INGREDIENTS⁠⁠
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil⁠⁠
1 small yellow onion, diced⁠⁠
2 garlic cloves, minced⁠⁠
1 398ml/14oz can diced tomatoes⁠⁠
3 cups water⁠⁠
1 tsp dried oregano⁠⁠
1/2 tsp dried thyme⁠⁠
1 tsp kosher salt⁠⁠
ground pepper⁠⁠
pinch chili flakes optional⁠⁠
2 395ml/ 14oz cans cannelini or navy beans, drained and rinsed⁠⁠
2 cups chopped kale⁠⁠
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese⁠⁠
parmesan cheese for serving⁠⁠
⁠⁠
INSTRUCTIONS⁠⁠
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the onions and cook for 6-8 minutes until softened.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Add the minced garlic and cook 1-2 more minutes.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Add in the diced tomatoes with their juices, water, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, a couple grinds of pepper and chili flakes. Stir and turn the heat up to high to bring to a boil. Then, turn the heat to medium-low, cover the pan with just a little space for the steam to escape and simmer for 15 minutes.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Add in the beans (drained & rinsed) and use a potato-masher or back of a spoon to crush them up a bit; this will give the dish a bit creamier texture. Then, add in the chopped kale and 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese. Stir and cook at a low simmer for 5 minutes.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Serve topped with parmesan and more salt and pepper (to your liking).⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Enjoy!⁠⁠

This Cheddar and Gruyere Grilled Cheese with Honey

This Cheddar and Gruyere Grilled Cheese with Honey is the ultimate comfort food!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I've tested a lot of different cheese combos and I've found that gruyere + cheddar creates the perfectly gooey, melty, drool-worthy grilled cheese. And then top it off with a drizzle of honey and sprinkle of thyme for the perfect bite.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Try pairing it with one of the soups I posted last week!⁠⁠

Is there anything better than classic Tomato Soup?

Is there anything better than classic Tomato Soup?! There definitely isn’t in my books. ⁠
⁠
Roasting the tomatoes with the garlic and onions adds a beautiful flavour to the soup. ⁠
⁠
And, with the addition of the cannellini beans, you get a beautiful creamy soup, one that is dairy-free too!⁠
⁠
Pair this with a grilled cheese and YOU ARE SET⁠
