Nut Free Pesto #womenwithinflammation #healing #lorijeanfinnila

This pesto is made with the basil leaves from the @officialaerogarden my son gave me. I've never tasted anything like it and already feel the healing effects only have eaten lunch 30 min. ago. More energy, clarity, more emotionally stable. @freshcoasteats I added a bit of frozen spinach and lemon to 1/3 of it inspired by @twopeasandtheirpod. The 4C homestyle romano parmesan came in handy with delivery and no additive. Better warmed up or after sitting in the basil overnight. I suggest letting the pesto settle in the fridge for a while before eating it anyway - it's very pungent.

VEGETARIAN CHILI | a healthy, one-pot vegetarian recipe you'll love! Best I Ever Had


The best chili I ever had. And I didn't even have the fire roasted tomatoes or peppers. I used some flakes pepper and crushed tomatoes.The best chili I ever had.

Successful Oat Milk, I think.... #oatmilk #ataskathand #grateful #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

 I think I finally got it. I made oat milk that doesn't taste really watery and actually leaves a bit of a satisfying taste in my mouth, and this is before refrigeration (no impact on Cookie and Kate) - I use a lot of her recipes.

Air Fryer Baked Eggplant #eggplant #airfryerrecipes #healthyfood

 Most of the eggplant is made with an air fryer once I figured out it tasted better. I mixed some flour with basil and oregano and made an egg wash dipping the flour twice doing it after the egg wash too. Then I lightly brush olive oil on the eggplant and air fryer basket and fried at 400 degrees for a few minutes on each side until it browned. Then I took half and layer it in the baking dish and put some good jarred sauce, a bit, over that layer, and then put the next layer and more sauce and I topped it with cheddar cheese because that's all I  had in the house. Be sure to salt and pepper your eggplant before air frying as well. You can do this after it's all coated and after lightly brushing with oil. I baked it at 350 degrees for 20 min. My oven works fast. Yum!!!
