Let’s get caught up + Budgeted Eats Recipe: Banana Oatmeal Bake

There is no way to get caught up in one post so I won't sit here and word vomit. Two things to point out - 1. diving into poetry as an outlet instead of this blog was something I never saw coming 2. coronavirus and COVID19 - this needs no explanation.

Budgeted Eats Recipe: Roasted eggplant and red pepper spread

Feeding two of us, I can still find it hard to buy just the right amount of produce. My concerns when buying produce are will we eat it all before it goes bad and what will I make with it so that we're not eating the same thing.

Recipe: Almond Flour Oatmeal Cookies (egg-free, oil-free, gluten-free)

While cake and doughnuts/donuts are my over-the-top treat when I crave something sweet, cookies are one of my favorite things to bake. I find them to be simple, at least in comparison to a cake.

Recipe: Pumpkin Pie Spice, Apple Pie Spice and Everything Nice

It's passed Labor Day and I feel confident to indulge in everything fall. I know there's about three arguments to the pumpkin spice ideas - all for it, all against, "you do you". I dabble between all for it and "you do you". I drink hot drinks all year round. There's something about hot coffee… Continue reading Recipe: Pumpkin Pie Spice, Apple Pie Spice and Everything Nice

Recipe: Grilled Chicken Wrap with Homemade Honey Mustard Sauce

Last weekend we bought a bag of avocados and while I am all for eating half an avocado with a meal, I've also wanted to find some new recipes.
