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...
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...
Truffled Pea Soup
Hi there! Last week was my spring break and I spent it soaking up some family time in Chicago with my mom and sisters. We had so much fun! But, I realized that “spring” in Chicago is very different than “spring” in Northern California. It was quite chilly and windy and we were wearing...
Homemade Turkey Breakfast Sausage
Good Morning! I’ve been trying to eat more protein for breakfast recently, which isn’t always so easy for an oatmeal/cereal/toast loving gal. And I love my green smoothies with protein powder, but everyone needs a little variety now and then. The problem is, I’m usually running out the door at the very last minute before...
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...
Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Happy Friday! Hope you are enjoying a bright, sunny day like I am! If not, whip one of these, close your eyes, and I’m pretty sure you’ll be on a tropical beach somewhere! I love brussels sprouts. I make roasted brussels sprouts all the time. But I haven’t branched out into other cooking methods much....
Roasted red pepper and tomato soup with parmesan crisps
Happy Friday! Isn’t the week back after vacation just the worst? Ever since I got back I just keep thinking, “If I were in Hawaii I’d be doing (blank)” and it’s always something WAY cooler then I’m really doing. Speaking of cool, I’m also freezing all the time because I want to wear things that...
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...
Baked Buffalo Wings
You guys…T-6 days till one of the greatest days of the year! Super Bowl Sunday! I love the Super Bowl every year. The snacks. The drinks. The football. The snacks. The commercials. The snacks. Did I mention the snacks??? But if it’s possible, I’m even more excited for this year since my hometown team –...
Grapefruit and Avocado Quinoa Salad
Hey there. I’m really wishing for spring. Who’s with me? I’ve been spending countless afternoons staring longingly our at my garden wishing it was warm and sunny enough to be out there in my swimsuit planting, or even better, harvesting, something delicious. Instead I’m inside in my sweats drinking tea and reading. Which, I know...
Greek Bulgur Salad
Why hello. Do you ever have one of those weeks where you’re never quite sure what day it is? For example, every day this week I have thought it was actually the next day. I was positive it was Wednesday on Tuesday. I did my Thursday gym routine on Wednesday (yes, I have different activities for each...
