One Pot Zucchini Mushroom Pasta

I have a couple of one pot pasta recipes on Pinterest lately and I love them! So nice to not have several pots/pans going at once. I just tried this last night, and I thought it was easy, and yummy! I'll be posting other soon!

• 1 pound spaghetti
• 1 pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 2 zucchini, thinly sliced and quartered
• 2/3 cup peas
• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 2 sprigs thyme (I just used a few shakes of my dried thyme)
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan (put in individual servings if making meal vegan)
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (or almond milk)
• 4 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

• In a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium high heat, combine spaghetti, mushrooms, zucchini, peas, garlic, thyme and 4 1/2 cups broth; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until pasta is cooked through and liquid has reduced, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and heavy cream.
• Serve immediately.

Chocolate Chip Coconut Oatmeal

So I have never been a fan of oatmeal, like ever. I always wanted to like it, but there was something about the texture that I just couldn't get past. Also, the taste wasn't my favorite either. Well, I have found 3 different oatmeal recipes that I like. I'll share this one first, and the other two down the road.

1/2 cup of oats
1 heaping Tbs of brown sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup milk
1-2 Tbs of coconut oil (melted)
1/4 tsp vanilla
handful of chocolate chips
extra milk if wanted

Preheat oven to 375. In a bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, and salt. Add the rest of your ingredients and mix well. Pour into a greased ramekin and bake for 20 min. After 20 min, turn your oven to broil, and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Pour into a bowl, top with chocolate chips, and extra milk if desired.
