Carrot noodle salad doesn’t sound great, I know. But hear me out. In the last few months, I’ve relied on grocery delivery more than I ever thought I would. Grocery shopping has always been fun for me — I like picking out produce, browsing the aisles to see what kind of new nut butter I [...]
Curried chickpeas sound like something you’ve had before. But not this way. Eating healthy can be a drag sometimes, but it helps if you have a few super healthy foods that you love. Especially if those foods are easy to turn into something that seems unhealthy. These chickpeas are not the boring ones you see [...]
In an effort to eat better, one of things I’ve been trying to do is eat a salad whenever I eat pizza. Easier said than done, since most pizza shops have terrible salad. So that means I either have to make my own — c’mon — or find a place that has good salad. It’s a struggle [...]
Tahini date caramel bites. What?! I’m usually not a fan of healthy sweets — I’d rather have a small amount of real sugar, butter, and cream. I stay away from low-fat and low-sugar foods because they don’t taste as good as the real stuff. Luckily, these tahini date caramel bites taste like real stuff. Even [...]
I’m currently sitting on my couch wrapped in a cozy blanket and dreaming of sunshine. I guess I’ll have to settle for a quinoa salad instead 😐 Salads are a favorite of mine. Usually my salad has some type of leafy green, but I’m a fan of grain salads as well. Quiona isn’t technically a [...]
My favorite vegetable is broccoli. Roasted, steamed or soup. So it stands to reason that I love broccoli potato soup. It’s the perfect cold-weather food. Currently stuck inside due to both weather and other reasons, soup seems like the best meal to cozy up to on the couch while binge watching more tv than a [...]
I never knew homemade coffee sugar was a thing. I was gifted some fancy coffee sugar recently, and even if you don’t put sugar in your coffee, the smell alone is enough to try it a time or two. And while I’m not putting sugar in my coffee everyday, it’s a rare indulgence I can [...]
I love cherry granola. On yogurt. On oatmeal (yes, sounds weird, but try it!) Or on its own. Sometimes I buy it. But sometimes I make it because I get flavor combos in my head that I can’t find at the store. Like this one. Tart cherries and toasty sesame seeds. Other than those, you [...]
I try to eat healthy, I really do. But sometimes, on a bitterly cold day when the road is all iced up — and oh yeah, you’re still in the middle of a pandemic — a bowl of oatmeal or a salad just aren’t going to cut it. On those days, a baking project is in order. [...]
I love rice and grain bowl recipes. You take some rice, quinoa, or grain of your choice, top with seasoned veggies/protein and then add a delicious sauce. It’s a great way to use up leftover grains and whatever odd and end veggies you have hanging around. I always like to add something creamy like cheese [...]
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.
