Best Granola Bars EVER – Leels Cooks

This took some serious testing but I’ve finally got a great recipe for perfectly chewy and customizeable granola bars! Adapted from this recipe that I really wanted to love but they were a little too hard and kind of uncomfortable to eat. You can absolutely make this your own, feel free to swap out ANY of the nuts/dried fruit/mix ins, or even the nut-butter for something you prefer! What you need: 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats 1/2 cup puffed millet (or any puffed grain) 1/2 cup raw untoasted nuts, roughly chopped (I used almonds here) 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup butter 1/4 … Read more

Lemon Bars – Leels Cooks

General

I was craving something lemony and sweet, and decided it was time I threw together some lemon bars. This is a super simple recipe that anyone can make, so give it a try! Not pictured here is the rest of the pan I fumbled with and broke into a million pieces, which is now a very delightful lemon crumble. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It still tastes good! Just have to eat it with a spoon now instead. What you need: Crust: 2 sticks unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup organic cane sugar (granulated is fine) 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Filling: 2 cups organic cane sugar … Read more

White Sandwich Bread – Single Loaf – Leels Cooks

Leftover Chicken Lentil Taco Soup – Leels Cooks

General

I know the obvious answer to “what to do with leftover taco ingredients?” is to make more tacos, but sometimes I like to switch it up. I’m a huge fan of challenging myself by trying to find something entirely different I can make up with whatever ingredients I have on hand. I had made burrito/taco rice bowls last night and thought I would throw together an easy soup out of the leftovers. You can do this with a lot of different meals so feel free to get creative with it. (creative means throwing random things into a pot and hoping it … Read more

Dark Chocolate Chip Banana Bread – Leels Cooks

General

I don’t remember the last time I actually ate a banana I bought instead of turning in into banana bread. It’s just meant to be.

What you need: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 1 cup sugar 2 large eggs 3 ultra ripe bananas, mashed 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups flour + 1 tsp set aside 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9 X 5 baking … Read more

The BEST Lentil Meatballs – Leels Cooks

General

I’m trying to eat more plant-based food lately. I know I know, ew. But I’d like to live longer and maybe have a slightly less detrimental impact on the environment, so maybe eat a bean sometime. (Legume didn’t work well with the joke) This recipe is shockingly delicious, easy enough, and can be turned into meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, or even veggie ground if you want. This recipe is still a tiny bit tedious but TRUST ME. This will be the BEST vegetarian meat replacement you ever have. Plus it makes a relatively large amount of mix that can be divided … Read more

Easy Customizable Granola – Leels Cooks

General

Just a quick little recipe that you can make your own! I wanted to make my granola bar recipe but I have no brown sugar so I thought a simple, light-er granola would be good.

What you need: 4 cups oats 1/2 cup slivered almonds 1/4 cup sunflower seeds 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds 1/4 cup pistachios 1/2 cup dried cranberry pinch salt 1 tbsp apple pie spice 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup … Read more

Easy Naan Bread – Leels Cooks

General

Although not authentic, we all can’t be expected to have a tandoor blazing in our kitchens at all times, this is the next best thing. There’s one semi-weird thing with this recipe. It uses brown sugar. The original recipe I had iterated on called for honey, which I did not have, so I just did a swap with brown sugar. It turned out BEAUTIFULLY, so I went with it. Feel free to swap either, but if you want to replicate my recipe, use the brown sugar! What you need: 1 cup warm water 2 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 (.25 … Read more

Vegan Mac & Cheese – Leels Cooks

General

I’m not vegetarian or vegan, but I’ve trying to work in more plant based meals and recipes into my regular routine. For better health, and also because lately I’ve found that I just haven’t been enjoying a lot of the meat focused meals I’ve been making, so I figured now would be a good time to experiment with some alternatives. I was *SHOCKED* by this recipe. I’ve always wanted to try it but would forget to grab the (absolutely essential) nutritional yeast from the store. Thankfully, I remembered while making a random Amazon order and threw it into the cart … Read more
