Easy Spinach Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

So much yumminess in this Easy Spinach Pesto Grilled Cheese with it’s smoldering Muenster cheese, garlic green-pesto-goodness and golden toasted gluten-free bread!

I know, a grilled cheese sandwich hardly seems blog worthy. BUT, before you get all judgy on me {not that I actually think any of you are judgy☺}, let me plead my case…

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Filling

I know, I know…you’re probably thinking the time for pumpkin bread has officially passed. And once again I’m late, which unfortunately isn’t all that uncommon.

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…

Crustless Caramel Apple Pie – Gluten Free

Please forgive my recent absence! Josh’s parents came into town for the weekend to celebrate his birthday {the big 30!} and I had my hands full preparing for their arrival! I am so blessed to have these two wonderful people in my life, and honestly they would be happy to visit even if the house was a mess and there was nothing other than milk and cereal to eat…

Chickpea Apple and Avocado Salad + Picnic / Hike

After church on Sunday, Josh and I quickly ran home, changed clothes, packed up some lunch and snacks and made our way to Percy Warner Park for a hike! I don’t know about you, but being outside and getting some exercise helps clear my mind and heal my soul. The trail through Percy Warner is not especially beautiful, being that it does not run along a creek, there is no bluff with a beautiful view, nor a glorious waterfall at the end…

Berry and Pecan Spring Mix Salad with Vinaigrette

Happy Memorial Day! I thought I’d be a little patriotic and share this Berry and Pecan Spring Mix Salad loaded with blueberries, raspberries and topped with a bit of goat cheese. Nothing like adding a little red, white and blue to our plates, to help remind us what this day is all about and the gift so many have given us in fighting for our country and our freedom. To those of you serving in our Armed Forces, or have loved ones who serve or have served, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your selflessness, bravery, and sacrifice!…

Blueberry Pecan Balsamic Vinaigrette

This Blueberry Pecan Balsamic Vinaigrette is another quick, simple recipe. After the overwhelming response I received to these Southwest Sweet Potato Lettuce Wraps, in light of my initial hesitations and concerns that it wasn’t “good enough”, I now humbly realize that people like simple. Especially when simple can also be healthy!…

Okay, the truth is it’s 11:30 at night and I’m truly way too tired to be writing this, BUT regardless of the long day it’s been, these little Raw Carrot Cake Bites are so yummy, I simply have to get the recipe out!

Green Power Salad with Roasted Veggies + Mom Update

Have you tried the Balsamic Almond and Turmeric Dressing yet?!? If not, here is the perfect Green Power Salad to put with it! If you didn’t get a chance to read my last post, then let me quickly fill you in. I started out making this salad last Sunday, intending on mixing in all my favorites while attempting a new homemade dressing to go with it. However, the dressing took over, stole the show and got a post of its own! So now, as promised, I have the scoop on the salad that left my tummy happy and full, yet wanting more!…

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…
