Recipes Galore!

Hello my beautiful readers :) I apologize for my absence- life has been busybusybusy lately and I haven't had time for anything besides school. All school and internship interviews makes Sonia a dull girl.
But- I should be going to my last interview tomorrow and from then, it's just the waiting game...

Until I can regain my sanity, I have some fabulous recipes to share with you!
First...

Cheezy Noodle Casserole inspired by Christin's recipe for Cheezy Sweet Potato Casserole

1.5 cups wide egg noodles, cooked 

1 carrot, grated

1 cup steamed chopped broccoli

1 cup vegetable broth

1 cup steamed cauliflower**
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
breadcrumbs
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400*F

cook the noodles layer with broccoli and carrot in a casserole dish:

In a food processor, add the broth, nooch, and cauliflower, and blend til liquefied.

**I only had half a cup of cauliflower so I transfered the liquid to a saucepan with 1tsp cornstarch and a splash of cool water, then simmered until it thickened up a bit.

Combine with pasta and veggies...

Add breadcrumbs to the top...

bake for 20 minutes, and serve!

This was awesome. Raine and I devoured the entire dish! Make this ASAP if you know what's good for you :)

Something that has been helping me to keep sane is a bottle of cucumber vodka that I picked up last week!

This simple cocktail is so.good.

1 shot cucumber vodka

juice of half a lemon

2 ice cubes

garnish with crushed mint, cucumber slices, and lemon slices!

I enjoyed this with a savory snack...

These were crispy and munchy and went perfectly with my drink! And so easy to make...

1.5 cups oyster crackers

coconut oil

2 TBSP nutritional yeast

Italian seasoning

sea salt

Preheat oven to 200*F and toss oyster crackers with enough olive oil to lightly coat them. Mix with nutritional yeast and as much Italian seasoning and sea salt as you desire. Spread out on a foiled baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, tossing them a bit half way through the cooking time. Enjoy! There was something about the combination of nooch and coconut oil that just worked for me. I hope it works for you too!

They also make excellent croutons...

Finally, I've been making oreo balls with my friends!

Experimenting with sprinkles is fabulous.

I can't wait to catch up with you all soon :)
