Roasted Veggie Breakfast Bowl with Fried Eggs + Sriracha

This Roasted Veggie Breakfast Bowl with Fried Eggs is a delicious and healthy dish that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, OR dinner. It’s a simple combination of chopped and seasoned veggies, roasted to perfection, then topped with a fried egg, a Sriracha based sauce, and a few slices of avocado…

Pumpkin Cranberry Granola with Soy Nuts + Giveaway!

Today I’m teaming up with The Soyfoods Council and Healthy Aperture to bring you a #SoyInspired Thanksgiving! I am so thrilled to be a part of a #SoyInspired Thanksgiving for multiple reasons, but among those reasons is that it gave me the nudge to do some much-overdue research on soy and it’s potential nutritional value…

Gluten Free Zucchini Chocolate Chunk Muffins

It’s Friday and I am SO very glad! We have entered into our “birthday season” between Josh’s and my family, and this weekend we will be celebrating my mom’s birthday. I can only imagine there will be both laughter and tears, and while the weekend will look different from the past, I’m so very grateful to have such a wonderful family, who will make the very most of the day and our time together…

A Year of Recipes You Might Have Missed

I mentioned last week that my technical one year anniversary has come and gone and I had absolutely no idea, therefore gave no tribute to it, or reflection on this past year. I say “technical because, while my first post was dated August 19th, I didn’t actual tell anyone about the blog until late October. So, I guess since I missed doing this in August, and it’s not quite yet October, I’ll post this little tribute in September and shoot the middle…

Zucchini Fritters with Poached Eggs

Disclaimer: I was so enchanted by these Zucchini Fritters with Poached Eggs, I’m afraid they’ve demanded somewhat of a picture-happy post, so be prepared! But who could blame me?? I mean, zucchini combined with red peppers, sweet onions, flax seed, cashew meal, and feta, baked to a crispy perfection, then topped with honey lime chipotle sauce and a poached egg with its glorious runny yolk…

Fudgy Flourless Chocolate Chili Muffins

I’m sorry… does that say chili pepper? On my chocolate muffin? Really?

Trust me. It sounds a bit odd, but it works! And it’s good! I don’t know if the whole cayenne, chili pepper, spicy-kick thing mixed with chocolate is new or just becoming more common, but suddenly I see the pairing in ice cream, truffles, chocolate bars and now these Fudgy Flourless Chocolate Chili Muffins!…

Turmeric Banana Smoothie with Ginger

It’s Friday, the sun is shining and the high is 70 degrees. I believe a celebration is in order, and lets start it with this Spring inspired, fresh Turmeric Banana Smoothie with Ginger!

I have read so many wonderful things lately about Turmeric and how good it is for the body, it has the ability to help prevent cancer, improve asthma, speed up healing process among so many other benefits – which I’ll dive into in just a minute…

Chilaquiles with Chipotle Adobe Pepper and Avocado

After making these Chilaquiles with Chipotle Adobe Pepper and Avocado, I learned, if you’re looking for a way to track your favorite foods and see what you are naturally drawn to…start a food blog.

I never realized just how much I love Mexican inspired foods, or sweet potatoes, avocados, and chocolate. Okay, maybe I knew the chocolate. But when you see these same ingredients show up post after post you begin to realize you’re (I’M) maybe not as diversified as you’d (I’D) like to think…

Strawberry Chocolate Green Smoothie

Happy Valentine’s Day!

This week has flown by! I think being sick does that to you, time disappears and consequently, I feel behind on just about everything! I came down with some sort of awful sinus congestion/head cold thing last Saturday and it got progressively worse until I found myself curled up in bed Monday evening with a pounding headache…

New York Trip – Part One of Two

I’m still playing catch up, but I finally had a chance to sit down and go through our New York pictures. There were too many for one post so I’ve split it up into two.

We flew out of Nashville bright and early Christmas morning and arrived in New York about 11A.M. Eastern time…

Sweet Potato Waffles (Grain and Refined Sugar-Free!)

I’m sure by now you know I love me some sweet potatoes. But for Breakfast? Yes, please!

Josh and I recently went to see Sigur Ros, an amazing Icelandic band that he’s loved for years, at the Woods at Fontanel. While the show was absolutely incredible, we had to wait for a decent amount of time before we could cross through the gates and make a beeline for the front near the stage. SO, what better way to pass the time than to scroll through food blogs??…

Chocolate Granola with Coconut Palm Sugar

Tonight we had the privilege of watching a free screening of the new movie About Time. I have to say that while I am a huge sucker for a chick-flick, I didn’t have high expectations for this one. And maybe that’s a little harsh to say, I was definitely looking forward to the movie (especially being that it was free) I just hadn’t heard much about it. And really, now that I’ve seen it, chick-flick puts this movie in a box that it doesn’t quite deserve, maybe indie drama would be better suited. Regardless, I am happy to say that I loved it. I laughed, I cried. It brought out so many emotions in me about family, love and life…

Chocolate Covered Pumpkin Breakfast Bars

I love Fall. I love the crisp Autumn mornings, love the smell of drying leaves, love wearing layers and scarves, love the idea of a bonfire with roasted marshmallows and s’mores, love to hike in the mountains and marvel at the changing colors, I could go on and on. And I guess I already have. But needless to say, Fall, much like many others, is my favorite time of the year. Which is why we chose this time of the year to visit Vermont…

Crunchy Granola with Flax and Sunflower Seeds

Oats, pecans, flaxseed, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, honey, and coconut oil, all baked to golden perfection? Yes please!

I am one of those people who eat the same thing every day for breakfast and never get tired of it. At least not for a very long time. Not to say that I don’t make small changes daily, but overall, it’s the same thing, everyday. And for me, that breakfast is greek yogurt, mixed berries, whole oats, bran flakes, flaxseed (sometimes Hemp or Chia seeds) and cinnamon…

Eggplant, Sausage and Flax Frittata

I think one of my favorites things about my organic CSA…aside from the fact that it is local, organic, in season, flavorful, fresh out of the ground AND affordable, is that I am challenged to make dishes using whatever is in the box that week. I’ve had a lot of eggplant recently, and if you read my post Quinoa and Veggie Stuffed Eggplant then you know that I’m fairly new to cooking and eating Eggplant…

Easy Breakfast Burritos (for dinner!)

There is absolutely nothing new, great or overly creative about these Easy Breakfast Burritos. But not all meals need to be new, great, or overly creative, right? Sometimes meals just need to be a little hearty, a little comforting, and a lot of tasty. And that is what these burritos are and do. Not to mention they are made with ingredients I keep on hang regularly and create a dish that comes together quickly…

Homemade Banana Almond Granola

Granola is one of those things that makes a yummy snack without the guilt of eating a handful… or sometimes several handfuls.
And as much as I love granola, I made this recipe more for Josh, than myself. Mornings are often my time to get up early, grab my coffee and fix my greek yogurt with whole oats, flax and berries before curling up on one of our front porch chairs (with Tucker of course) to eat breakfast and read my devotion, catch up on personal emails, look at food blogs, etc. I’ve come to cherish this time as I consider it my “me time”…
