Vanilla Coconut Cashew Butter is a smooth, decadent nut butter that reminds me of a creamy rendition of a blondie cookie bar, the significantly under-appreciated cousin to the brownie. Seriously, where is the love for the blondies out there? Maybe it’s that buttery taste that gets to me, but blondies are a pretty perfect cookie. In any case, if […]
This Sausage, Tomato, & Mixed Greens Breakfast Skillet may be a breakfast recipe, but I am not above having it for lunch or dinner. Honestly, my ideal three-meals-a-day are breakfast, brunch, and breakfast for dinner. But I’m pretty sure a well-rounded diet doesn’t necessarily include eggs and bacon for every meal, so I’ll postpone that idea for now. All that […]
Whether you are gluten-free or love ALL of the glutinous items in the world, you need (I repeat, NEED) to make this Gluten-Free Homestyle Apple Crisp. While it has no wheat, eggs, or refined sugar, it tastes like an indulgent apple pie. It’s comfort food at its finest. This is what I like to call “vintage cooking […]

Honey-Cinnamon Walnut Butter is creamy, sweet, a little salty, and loaded with good fats. It’s one of my favorite nut butters of ALL TIME. It has this unique and scrumptious texture and flavor that pairs oh so well with apples or warmed on a piece of toast. I just love it so much. I’ll let you in on […]
Curry and ginger. Hearty, sweet carrots. And a wholesome, rich chicken bone broth. This soup is a winner, and with an Instant Pot and food processor, you can make it in just about 30 minutes. That’s it. So when it comes to kitchen appliances and devices, I’m a big believer in investing in a few key pieces you […]
Yes, yes you can have pizza for breakfast. And feel really good about it too! Baked Margherita Pizza Eggs are one of my favorite foods to prep at the start of a new workweek because they are super easy, really convenient to heat up for breakfasts in the morning (or eat straight out of the […]
Roasting has a pretty transformative effect on vegetables – it really brings out the best in them, taste-wise and texture-wise. Without a question, it’s my favorite way to make and eat them. And if you’re ready to take your veggies to another level? Add BACON. Here’s the thing. These roasted veggie and bacon bowls taste and look like […]
Oh, how I love you, sunflower seed butter. Truth be told, I’ve had a minor love affair with sunflower seed butter for a couple of years now. I’m a Costco junkie, and for a brief moment in time, they carried one of my favorite brands of organic honey sunflower seed butter that was all kinds of magical […]
All the joys of baseball games and family barbecues, in a healthy little salad. Don’t get me wrong. I love trying new cooking techniques, making new sauces, testing unique spices, and eating lots of different vegetables and nutrient-dense proteins. But I don’t always have time for that. And more importantly, sometimes I just want a HOT DOG. […]
