Chocolate Pancakes (gluten free and vegan)
While I was taking this picture, my (almost) 3-year-old daughter saw this lovely stack of chocolate pancakes and said “Feed me NOW, Mommy!” She then proceeded to sit and wait in her chair, licking her lips. I put her plate in front of her, went to get my own and when i returned, almost all…

Grilled Grapefruit
Yes, I grilled a grapefruit. Chances are, you are probably making a look simliar to the one my husband gave me when I told him what I was about to do, knife and grapefruit in hand. But, if you keep reading (and better yet, actually make this recipe), I will make a believer out of…

Stove Top Sweet Potato Spirals
I remember, as a kid, that my mom would always make an amazing breakfast on Sunday mornings. It was a time of togetherness and bonding for our family. Its a tradition that I cherish and one that I stride to do for my own family. For this morning’s Sunday breakfast, I made spiral cut sweet…

Almond Flour Lemon Blueberry Scones {gluten free}
I don’t usually have time on a Thursday morning to do any sort of baking. However, a rare day off from work, a still-sleeping child and cupboards bare of easy breakfast essentials made it possible (if not a requirement) to do a little dawn baking this morning. Myself nor my family is on…

Beet Berry Mint Smoothie
My husband and I joke that smoothies are our daughter’s equivalent to a cup of coffee in the morning. It’s the first thing she looks for when she wakes up, and frankly isn’t really ready to talk to anyone until she had downed it. It’s a habit of hers that I am more than willing…
Pineapple Broccoli Stir Fry with Thai Peanut Sauce
This stir fry was born from one of those nights when I was digging in the (almost empty) fridge, trying to dream up something delicious for dinner. I figured a stir fry was my dinner option. And what a dinner it was! Simple and delicious, I was left licking my plate clean (don’t judge me)

Strawberry Chia Jam
There are few things I love more than strawberry season. I adore those sweet ruby nuggets in all forms; pies, tarts, shortcake, in ice cream, on top of oatmeal, and (of course) gorgous and perfect right off the plant. I have a serious strawberry infatuation and this recipes just feeds my addiction (pun intended). This…

Lavender Lemonade Popsicles
Doesn’t that title just sound like summer? I remember in college, my girlfriends and I would go out to lunch at this very small, rustic, and lovely tea house where they served lavender lemonade. I had never heard of it before then and have loved the flavor combination ever since. So when, one Saturday at…
Strawberry Spinach Blueberry Avocado Salad with Sesame Poppy Seed Dressing
I’ll be honest, I have never been a salad lover. I wasn’t a raw veggie fan growing up and even when I was eating processed foods, conventional salad dressings never appealed to me. I always found salads boring. However, I was just eating the wrong kinds of salads. A few years ago, when I learned…

So, How Did I Get Here?
I didn’t always consider organic spinach to be a grocery staple. Neither did I grow up a natural athlete who enjoyed waking up at dawn for a sunrise run. I ate a disturbing amount of instant Ramen Noodles during my college years and preferred bad reality TV shows parked solidly on my couch to any…

Cinnamon Apple Almond Granola
Let’s face it, cereal is probably the easiest and most realistic breakfast for most busy working families (like mine). However, pretty much every commerical cereal out there (notice I am not saying all, just most) are loaded with perservatives, bizarre ingredients you can’t pronounce and waaayyyyyyyy too much sugar. Homemade granola is much cheaper than…
