OH HI. The past week or so has been a little hectic for me…hence the lack of posting. I just started a new job (yay!) and have been working lots of long days but am loving it so much! I have been learning so much about the importance of balance in time management recently, […]

Whole Wheat Trail Mix Muffins
It’s been a while since I’ve baked…well anything. After a long oven hiatus this summer, I was ready to get back in action with these healthy and tasty Whole Wheat Trail Mix Muffins. These muffins were inspired by…umm, a bag of trail mix? My mind is pretty uncomplicated sometimes, okay? And I quote: “Gosh, this […]
Lemon Pepper Salmon with Kale, White Bean, and Parmesan Sauté
Well everybody…this week is about to get CRAY (that’s crazy for all of you non-abbreviation peeps). Let’s just say I’m on week 2 of my new job, have just 10 days until I take the RD exam, am moving into a new house in 5 days, and in just 11 days, I will be embarking […]
Key Lime Yogurt Mousse with Toasted Oat & Almond Crumble
Recently, I have been really digging the light and refreshing desserts. Not sure if it’s the hot and humid weather that we’re experiencing over here 24/7, or just the fact that I love all things fruity… but I’ve been all about the fresh treats these days. Can’t stop won’t sop. This key lime “mousse” is […]
Baked Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts
Comin’ in hot with some yummy baked goods again. I made these for a friend’s birthday brunch recently and everyone gobbled them up…. not knowing that they were whole-wheat and a {semi) healthy treat. When I was younger, I used to eat doughnuts on the reg. Especially when I was at my grandparent’s house and […]
Cake Batter Smoothie
This is a happy post today. With a happy happy recipe. I mean look at it. There are sprinkles everywhere. And this recipe is a double happy because it tastes like ice cream AND is a healthy and protein packed snack. …Oh yea and it’s Friday. WOAH. Being a self-proclaimed ice cream freak is hard […]
Lemon Blackberry Thyme Muffins
Last week, we received our weekly bunch of fresh vegetables from our Compost In My Shoe CSA, and included in this week’s mix was some lemon thyme. This recipe was actually built around this tiny little herb bunch as I was inspired by its fresh, lemon-y, and floral flavor profile. Packed with bright and refreshing […]
Peanut Butter S’mores Cookies
I’m gonna be honest… this week has left me yearning for some lazy beach days. With the weather heating up here all I want to do is be out in the sun or by the water. But of course, real life is actually a thing and I feel like I have been running the race […]
Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Quesadillas
It’s Cinco De Mayo!! And today, I am celebrating with a deliciously different quesadilla recipe. I am one of Mexican food’s absolute biggest fans, however, I am not a huge lover of the greasiness that tends to accompany many of the Westernized Mexican dishes. Drum roll for this non-greasy, veggie-packed, whole grain, cheesy quesadilla please. […]
Vanilla Chai Oatmeal
So… I still eat oatmeal when it’s hot out. I don’t care if it’s 90 degrees or 30, this is still my most favorite of breakfasts. This is sometimes weird to me because when the weather turns spicy I can no longer drink hot coffee but switch solely to iced coffee for my morning caffeine […]
