Hey everyone! Chelsea back from Chelsea’s Messy Apron! I’m slightly obsessed with all things Fall and Winter, so there have been all kinds of pumpkin and apple recipes lately on my site. I’ve also been making soup like CRAZY and have tons of recipes to share. This soup was one of our favorites. It’s pure comfort food, rich & creamy, plus SO easy to make. My whole family loved it and thought it was even better than a from-stratch chicken pot pie!...

Earlier this year, I released my 8-ingredient banana bread that very quickly became one of my most popular recipes. Not surprising because the texture was shockingly fluffy, light and tender. And that’s not something you typically associate with banana bread, especially a vegan banana bread. I then used that recipe as inspiration for my pumpkin spice bread, which is the perfect combination of moist and tender. And now I’m fusing the best of those recipes to bring you this incredibly Fluffy Vegan Gingerbread Cake....

I went to the farmers market in Union Square this morning where I encountered these garlic scapes. Never seeing these before, I was told they are the shoots that grow from the bulb that eventually straighten out and bloom, and they are only available for a short time. Farmers remove these so the garlic bulb can get more energy to grow larger. These have a milder garlic flavor than garlic cloves, similar to a green onion, but with a garlic taste....

Garlic Shrimp This recipe is inspired by one of my favorite dishes from Spain, Gambas al Ajillo or Spanish garlic shrimp. It’s typically swimming in olive oil, so I lightened up a bit but it’s still just as delicious!! It is bright, garlicky, and perfect with some crusty bread or served over rice! And the best part, it comes together in just 10 minutes. If garlic’s not your thing you can browse through all my shrimp recipes, like this Air Fryer Shrimp, Shrimp Ceviche these Shrimp Taquitos or these delicious Shrimp Eggrolls....

Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Avocado Avocado is a wonderful healthy option in place of mayonnaise and it adds such great flavor. Yesterday I mentioned how good tasting bread is crucial for me in the sandwich making process, and Ciabatta is another fat free option I love to use. Although it’s usually fat free, always double check the labels. I made this an opened open-faced for the photo, then realized once I started eating it that it’s easier to eat if it’s closed and it’s also more portable for lunch on the run....
