Spelt Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread


Vegan, nut free, gluten free option   I’m a food gawker. True fact. I can’t help it and, frankly, don’t hide it. I admire other people’s food like some admire art. I could spend hours thumbing through cookbooks or scrolling through Instagram food feeds, finding inspiration from other people’s creations.  As  teacher, I get to…

Pumpkin Pancakes with Cinnamon Whipped Coconut Cream


I may have a San Diego mailing address, but I am a New England girl by birth and to the bone. Meaning, fall is likely my most loved season. I may not get to enjoy the sight of  the foliage changing to shades of crimson and vermillion here in southern California, but I make a…

Packing Avocados, Apples, Bananas, and Pears in lunches


One of the most common questions I get on Alice’s lunch pictures is how I keep her avocados, apples, and so on from turning brown before she gets to eat them. Answer: a little lemon or lime juice.  Just a sprinkle over the goods, cover, and I give a little shake to distribute the juice…

Fig, Blueberry, Roasted Sweet Potato & Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese and Balsamic Reduction


I have spent my life proclaiming I don’t like figs…..until this summer. That’s when I tasted a REAL fig. I think before this year, at the age of 32, my only point of reference for how a fig tasted was a Fig Newton (don’t judge me). Sad but true and I shunned this amazing little…

Pecan and Veggie Stuffed Squash


Gluten free, nut free option, vegan option, vegetarian     I know, I know. It’s not officially fall yet. But with all the fall fruits and veggies starting to pop up at the farmer’s market, the hubbub of back to school season, and Halloween merchandise  littering the aisles of every chain store, how do you…

Naturally Beautiful Moments: Week 4


My husband and I both are born and bred New Englanders. We moved to San Diego several years ago for his Naval career and have simply fallen in love with the West Coast. However, no place will ever be home quite like our native coast. I was so quiet on the blog this past week…

Protein Packed Breakfast Brownies (with hidden fruits and veggies)


  I get inspiration for recipes everywhere. From a meal at a restaurant. From a photo from another food blog. From produce at the farmer’s market. The inspiration for these breakfast brownies came from a 4-year-old girl. In my classroom, it is our routine at morning snack to share what we each had for breakfast….

Cuban Black Beans (vegan, gluten free, sugar free, nut free, grain free)


When my family started transitioning to a clean eating lifestyle, one of my first go-to meals was black beans and brown rice. Both are easy to doctor up to your taste preference, very budget friendly, and easy to prepare a head of time. The recipe that inspired what you are about to nom on was…

Raising a Healthy Child


People often comment on what a healthy eater my daughter Alice is. While I definitely lucked out in having a child who is in love with food (the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree), her infatuation with apples and avocados wasn’t by accident. I worked hard right out of the gate to give her…

Tropical Carrot Cake Ice Pops


I considered calling this recipe “Everything But the Kitchen Sink Carrot Cake Pops”, as that was pretty much my approach to making them this morning. As it is Friday, the fridge and produce basket are looking depressingly empty. Yet, I refuse to hit the grocery store or farmer’s markets before Saturday. I could easily go…

Spicy Pasta with Garlic, Broccoli, Kale & Mushrooms (Vegan, nut free, gluten free option)


I have no fun story to go along with this dish. Sometimes you just want spicy food. Sometimes you just want pasta. Sometimes its a Monday night and you want both at the same exact time in the exact same bowl. Tonight was one of those nights.   I have made this recipe before and…

Classic & Easy Overnight Oats (Gluten free, vegan, nut free option)


This heat. I cannot handle this heat!  I love cooking and “slaving” over a stove, but not when I feel like I am about to melt into the kitchen floor!  Oatmeal is typically my family’s go-to, brainless, healthy breakfast…but not when it is 72 degrees before sunrise! On those mornings, we require something hearty, but…

Naturally Beautiful Moments: Week 3


My daughter’s adorbale, tiny hands helping me mix pizza dough for dinner one night.   A salad made with watermelon, cucumbers, avocado, mint and a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkling of sesame seeds. The meals that directly follow the farmer’s market are always my favorite ones of the week.    When you live…

Roasted Vegetable Salad with Goat Cheese


“I have this eggplant Ken wanted to get at the farmer’s market and I have no idea what to do with it, ” I whined to my mother during our cross-country phone call on Friday morning. I was eyeballing the eggplant that was looking less and less vibrant each passing day in my produce basket….

Naturally Beautiful Moments: Week 2


I kind of like the idea of making this a weekly post. When following a food blog, it’s easy to forget that the author isn’t just a recipe-making-machine and is, in fact, an actual person. I will likely post mostly about food (because food is awesome), but I also want this to be a blog…

Breakfast Sushi (gluten free, vegan, nut-free option)


My family eats many breakfasts on the go. My husband has to be at work before dawn almost daily (that’s the military life for you) and I need to be at my school (with my daughter in tow) bright and early a couple of times a week. Because of this, I have developed many easy…

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…
