Your experiences matter.
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. We've all be impacted… Continue reading Let’s get caught up + Budgeted Eats Recipe: Banana Oatmeal Bake
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. Eggplant is a tricky vegetable because our… Continue reading Budgeted Eats Recipe: Roasted eggplant and red pepper spread
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. I also like how they're easy to manipulate. Maybe one of my super powers is the ability to adjust recipes… Continue reading Recipe: Almond Flour Oatmeal Cookies (egg-free, oil-free, gluten-free)
I typically adhere to a balanced eating pattern - meaning, I don't follow a diet that eliminates anything. I just don't eat what I don't like. However, I know that for some people they need to eliminate some components of a food like gluten or whole aspects of food like dairy. A friend of mine… Continue reading Recipe: Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten-free)
There are very few positive holiday memories that I have. I outlined a few not so positive ones here, and I glossed over Thanksgiving. It really wasn't a big holiday growing up, but there are two things on the table that I really liked. Sweet potato balls: mashed sweet potatoes (canned) that have a marshmallow… Continue reading Recipe: Cranberry Relish
This is the story of the pumpkin who believed it could so it did. Every post I write revolving around fall food mentions my love of other fall foods like apple pie and maple lattes, but guys let's be honest with ourselves - we love these things, but they can get expensive. Apple picking can… Continue reading Recipe: Pumpkin Puree
At this point, it's pretty clear to most that if I have bananas turning on the counter, I'm probably going to make banana bread with them - or something similar. Since we're not quite into the holiday season yet, I'm lacking in some supplies like all-purpose flour. We buy a large bag from BJ's Wholesale… Continue reading Recipe: Flourless Banana Muffins (gluten-free, oil-free)
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
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. I found a number that looked intriguing, but many were salads. I'm not anti-salad, I freaking love salad, but I also really love sandwiches and this… Continue reading Recipe: Grilled Chicken Wrap with Homemade Honey Mustard Sauce
I feel like many people who utilize Pinterest and other platforms to get inspiration for recipes there will never truly be enough days to have time to make them all. As someone who also appreciates fitness and living a healthy lifestyle, it can also be hard to find a way to balance the competing ideas.… Continue reading Recipe: Paleo-ish Zucchini Bread
