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!⁠⁠

The final recipe for soup week is my healthyish take on Broccoli Cheddar Soup.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It comes together in one pot with simple ingredients but I've lightened it up so you can feel good about enjoying this! But it still has the delicious cheesy flavour and creamy texture you love.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Find the recipe linked in my bio and thanks for following along for Soup Week friends!⁠⁠

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
