Blueberry Oat Muffins
Hey! So, things have been a liiitle crazy around here lately, so some quick and easy meals have been a must. These muffins have been my grab and go-to for breakfast pretty much every morning last week, not to mention a few quick lunches and snacks mixed in as well! Luckily, I don’t feel too...
Roasted Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
It’s very rare that I make the same thing two nights in a row. Sure, we use leftovers with the best of them, but if I am cooking it is extremely uncommon for me to cook the same thing on two consecutive nights. This little factoid is important because as soon as I made these...
Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies
If you think “Healthy Cookie” is an oxymoron, well…you might be right. But there are definitely cookies you can feel way less guilty about eating, and this is one of them! In fact, I’ve eaten about 20 over the past couple days and haven’t had a single twinge of guilt. Perhaps it’s because my belly...
Asian Mango Salad
Oh heyyy! How’s it goin? Did you have fun celebrating the mother’s in your life? I hope so! My husband was calling it my “0th Mother’s Day” because he thought we should celebrate a little, but that the real celebration should be next year when the little man is here! I had a great day enjoying the...
Baked Eggs with Kale and Sausage
Happy Monday everyone! If you’ve read this blog before, you probably know that I have an extreme fondness for my local Farmer’s Market. It’s my Sunday ritual. I just love walking though and looking at the fresh, local produce, not to mention seeing things I can’t find at my local grocery store or (even more...
Strawberry and Avocado Salsa
Happy Friday! I’m so excited about this recipe. It involves so many of my favorite things! Strawberries, avocado, cilantro, and Mexican food in general. If it wasn’t so frowned upon I’d make a giant batch to bathe in. That would be frowned upon, right? This salsa is so versatile, which, along with the amazing flavor...
What I Ate Wednesday – Ice Cream Anyone?
Hey there!!!! To start off this WIAW I’d like to share with you a pic from Michael and my rockin Saturday night…That’s right. Banana splits and DVR’d Game of Thrones. My idea of a perfect evening! Speaking of perfect…Strawberries have been popping up at the farmer’s market and I haven’t been able to resist. In fact, I’ve...
Papaya Margarita
Hi friends! The past few days the weather here has been amazing. Warm, sunny, calm winds, basically exactly what you would dream up if you were casting “perfect weather” in a film. So, I’ve wanted nothing more than to be outside. This weekend we spent Saturday in San Francisco eating lunch at a restaurant right...
Cinnamon Apple Cake
Hey there! Happy Friday! Hope you are looking forward to a wonderful weekend! It is supposed to be warm and sunny in the Bay Area and I’m looking forward to being outside and soaking in some rays. Until then, I’ll be eating this cake! Don’t you just love having people over for dinner? I do!...
Grilled Lentil Salad
Hi friends! Sometimes the most delicious recipes come out of thin air. Case in point: grilled lentil salad. Last week my hubby and I were at a loss for what to have for dinner. I didn’t want to go to the grocery store because I had a full fridge. The problem was, I went to...
Thai Turkey Salad
Happy Friday!! Hope you are looking forward to a wonderful, relaxing weekend. I’ll be doing some work around the house, hanging out with some friends, and watching the Master’s. I love seeing all that bright green grass – makes me want to go kick some butt on the putt putt course! This salad is #1...
What I Ate Wednesday – The Windy City Edition
Hi! Welcome to mid-week. It’s all down hill from here..in a good way! As you know, I spent last week with the cutest 5 month old on the face of the earth (seriously, I’m not biased), as well as my two sisters and mom. We ate some really great food while I was there, but...
