Delicata Squash with Dried Cranberries and Quinoa
Happy Halloween! I’m afraid I have completely failed you in the way of a tasty, creepy, scary, yet healthy Halloween treat. I promise I’ll get my act together by Halloween 2015. Instead you get this easy, yet delicious, Delicata Squash with Dried Cranberries and Quinoa. Which, by the way would be lovely side to add to your Thanksgiving spread! Does my somewhat prompt-Thanksgiving post help make up for my lack-of-Halloween post?? Anyone? :)…
Vegetarian Zucchini White Bean Burgers
I think if you would’ve asked me a couple of years ago if I liked zucchini I would have easily shrugged with a quick “of course, who doesn’t?” However when I look back at my recent recipes, it’s becoming apparent that I’m a little more than just fond of zucchini! Who knew zucchini was so versatile?…
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…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Acorn Squash and Quinoa
A friend of mine from work recently brought me a beautiful brussels sprout stalk from Trader Joe. Have you seen these? They would be beautiful table centerpieces in a large old wooden trough! He knows I love veggies and picked one up for himself and was thoughtful enough to grab me one, too!…
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…
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”…
