A cold brew smoothie to start your day is the perfect way to get your caffeine fix. My morning routine starts with a piping hot cup of strong coffee with lots of milk. But if you remember from July, I have kind of been on a cold brew kick. It’s been so hot and humid [...]
A black sesame smoothie for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Yes, please! I’m all about getting nutrients in my diet while also tricking myself into eating something delicious. And smoothies are an easy way to do that. Especially when you can pack veggies like spinach, and high antioxidant foods like black sesame seeds. Why black sesame [...]
Candy bar smoothie? Is that a thing? Well, yes. And also no. I did not actually put real candy bars in a smoothie. Of course that would be delicious. But it would also probably be more like a milkshake. Which I’m not against. Just not for breakfast. Well, I could definitely be talked into a [...]
These days are rough when it comes to eating because with nothing else to look forward to, food seems to be the easiest thing to hold on to. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve eaten my fair share of junk in the last few months, and definitely had more than my fair share of pizza and [...]
I remember having a cherry clafoutis in France and being surprised when I learned that there were pits in the cherries. At first I thought that it was because pitting cherries is a pain, but I then I learned that it’s actually because the pits give the dessert an almond flavor, which makes sense since [...]
I love the ease of smoothie. Throw a bunch of healthy stuff in a blender with some ice or frozen fruit, and 9 times out of 10, you have something filling and tasty. It’s a practical way to get a bunch of nutrients that you’re just not going to eat first thing in the morning. [...]
I bought some protein powder for a quick filling snack when I don’t have time for much else. I found that it doesn’t taste bad necessarily, but mixed with just almond milk, it’s kind of boring. So I started trying different ways to liven it up, and one of the ways I found was to [...]
Smoothies are an almost daily thing for me, but I tend to get bored with the same things. Don’t get me wrong — bananas, berries, and spinach is perfectly acceptable, but sometimes it’s just not enough. I try to add different ingredients and flavorings to keep it interesting, as well as ramp up the nutrients, [...]
I’ve always loved pecans (well, nuts in general, but pecans are my fave. Any time I’m eating something with pecans, I want as many as I can get. I’m always going to grab the piece of pecan pie with the most nuts (or if I’m making it, you better believe it’s going to be loaded!) [...]
There are certain flavors that I love in just about anything. Lavender smoothie? Definitely on the list. Cardamom, citrus, and rosemary are a few others, but my husband knows that if we come across anything with lavender, I’m probably going to want to try it, especially if it’s in something you may not normally see [...]
Here's all the social media sites people tell me I need to be on. You can (kinda) find me on these. The only one guaranteed to get you a quick response is email, so try that first.
