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...
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!...
Strawberry Mint Sorbet
Hey! No April foolin’ here – this Strawberry Mint Sorbet is a quick, easy, and super delicious treat you’ll want to make no matter what the weather is where you live. I say that because I’m about to head to freezing cold Chicago from sunny, warm California, but I might just make a batch of...
Superfood Granola
Hey! As spring approaches, I’m finding myself in the mood for some lighter foods all throughout the day. Especially after indulging a little too much over the holiday weekend! But, being as I’m just about 6 months pregnant, I’m also finding myself needing a bit more food to fill us both up! So, I want...
Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake
Hey there! Did you have a good weekend? I did! On Saturday we went to an engagement party for two of our very good friends, Alex and Stephanie. It was so much fun! We got to meet lots of family members from both the bride’s and groom’s families. Don’t you find weddings to be way...
Greek Yogurt Banana Bread
Hey there! Did you ever have one of those days? I had planned to post this banana bread recipe yesterday but I ran out of the house without my work bag, in which was my computer, a bunch of stuff I needed for work, and my lunch. Major bummer, mostly because it meant an extra...
Whole Wheat Raspberry Cookies
Happy Friday! After 5 days soaking up the sun in Maui, I figured you guys could use a treat as well. Whenever “whole wheat” and “cookie” go together, it’s bound to be something great. In these cookies the whole wheat isn’t there just to make me feel better about having justonemore. It’s there because it makes...
Celebration Cupcakes!
Hi! It’s time to celebrate!! This past week was a big week. First of all, I found out that two of my most wonderful friends are getting married!!! When I heard the news I think I was only slightly less excited then I was at my own engagement. You guys, this thing was major league....
Strawberry Cantaloupe Smoothie
Hi! Happy two days before Valentine’s Day! When I was a kid, my mom was really good at holidays. We’d always have a special breakfast, and if the holiday fell on a school day, a special lunch…think all green lunch for St. Patrick’s Day, pink and red lunch for Valentine’s etc. We’d also have a...
Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes
Happy Friday! This weekend something amazing is happening. We don’t have any plans! It has been quite a while since we had a weekend free without commitments and I am looking forward to it! Weekends just go by too fast when you are going-going-going. I’m planning on relaxing and taking the time to do things...
Raisin Bran Muffins
Hey there! Are you over your Super Bowl party weekend high? What a game, huh?? I really thought the 49ers were going to pull it out in the end there, but despite all my cheering, no such luck. It was a major bummer to see the hometown boys loose, but it was such an entertaining game…not to...
