Blueberry Quinoa Breakfast Bake
Hey ya’ll. Happy Friday! I have been having a great week spending lots of time outside in the sun. It has been beautiful here and I’m trying to take full advantage! Another thing I’m trying to take advantage of? Summer produce! That means my meals have been filled with watermelon, cherries, spinach (from my garden!),...
What I Ate Wednesday – Supper Club Fiesta!
Happy Wednesday Everyone! I have been so excited for Wednesday all week. No, not just because it means we are that much closer to the weekend. Because I get to tell you all about my awesome Supper Club fiesta! (but let’s be real, I’m pretty excited about the weekend too!) I’m kind of obsessed with Supper...
Tofu “Peppercorn Ranch” Salad Dressing
Hey! It’s time for some magic! Well, not magic magic. Magic as in getyourhusbandtoeattofudressingwhiletrickinghimintobelievingit’sreallyranch magic. I get some kind of sick pleasure out of tricking people into thinking things that I make are the full-fat original version when really they are the “healthed up,” lightened up, full-flavor versions. You should have seen my face while...
Fresh Cherry Crumble
Happy Monday! Summer = cherries. Well, at least in my book. When I was a kid, Ginny and Papa (my grandparents) had a big cherry tree in their yard. My brother, sisters, cousins, and I would climb the cherry tree and sit there for hours and hours picking cherries right off the tree and eating...
Arugula and Parsley Pesto
Hey there! Trying to go green? Me too! Well, with my food that is I have arugula growing like crazy in my garden (tough problem to have, I know!) so I have been thinking about creative ways to use it. This arugula pesto is perfect! It uses up LOTS of arugula, and can be stored...
What I Ate Wednesday!
Happy Wednesday! I’ve been doing a lot of good eating lately. Combined with an amazing weekend and the fact that my garden is starting to mature, I’ve got lots to share this week! I’ve been eating fresh peas straight out of my garden like they are going out of style. They are just so delicious...
Calistoga, Ca
Happy Tuesday All! This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending some very dear friends’ wedding in beautiful Calistoga, California. Calistoga is a little city in the greater “wine country” of California and it is absolutely gorgeous. The little town is so cute and quaint, filled with mom and pop shops, delicious restaurants, and as...
Spicy Black Bean Dip
Happy Monday Folks! I love dips. All kinds of dips. Especially versatile dips that you can eat with a variety of “dippers.” This spicy black bean dip fits the bill perfectly! Plus, with only FOUR ingredients (and all the work done by the food processor) it comes together in a snap. When you put the...
Blueberry Smash
Happy Friday!!! This weekend I’m headed up to wine country for two wonderful people’s nuptials. I just love weddings in wine country and knowing the bride and groom I am sure this wedding is going to be a BLAST! Unfortunately, it is also supposed to be 100 degrees! (seriously, that is the forecast!) So I’m sure...
Roasted Strawberry Scones
Oh hey there! I’ve had the past two days off of work and I am loving the extra time in the morning! There is something about being home on a weekday that just seems…better. Don’t get me wrong, I love the weekend, but sitting on your porch with a cup of coffee and one of...
What I Ate Wednesday – Snack Attack!
We’re halfway to the weekend people! Cannot wait! How bout you?? This month the theme of WIAW is “Sensible Snacking” so today I’m sharing some recent snacks that have been on my table and in my belly! First up: NACHOS! One of my all time top favorite snacks – especially in summer. Especially especially with...
Grilled Portobello Burgers
Summer. Al fresco dining. Long evenings. BBQ. BURGERS. But…mushroom burgers??? Y.E.S. My mom used to trick us into eating new foods by putting them in familiar “packaging.” Having parents that forbid picky eating was one of the best parts of growing up because now there are hardly any foods I “don’t like.” I was also never allowed...
