Updated June 15, 2020 We made it to Friday and I am ready for my pajamas, Netflix, and a big bowl of this Lemon Arugula Pasta with Burrata. It may sound like a boring Friday night to you, but I live for lazy Friday nights. I am a home body at heart and I love nights when I can curl up in my cozy sweats and watch a good show with good food....

Ingredients needed Flour. To make these muffins a little healthier, I swap out some of the all-purpose flour for oat flour. The oat flour adds texture and extra fiber. Use all all-purpose flour if you prefer. Baking powder. Salt. Greek yogurt. Sour cream can be substituted. Canola oil. Any vegetable oil can be used. Avocado oil is a great substitution. Melted butter can also be used. Sugar. I like using brown sugar but coconut sugar or regular granulated sugar will work well too....

Updated March 26, 2019 Josh isn’t a huge ice cream fan, but he will eat a big bowl of lime ice cream.We made this ice cream when my brother and sister in law were visiting in June. They are ice cream connoisseurs and were kind enough to make Josh a batch of his favorite ice cream. This lime ice cream is creamy, tart, and refreshing. It is the perfect summer cool down dessert....

Eggs. English muffins. Cheese. Slices of cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, Monterey Jack or Gouda would be delicious. Oregano. Garlic powder. Butter. Salt and pepper. How to make easy freezer breakfast sandwiches (summary) How to re-heat frozen breakfast sandwiches Remove the foil, place on a plate and re-heat in the microwave from frozen in the parchment paper....

I’m also not one to put protein powder in my oats, pancakes and smoothies on a regular basis. I’ll throw a scoop of Sunwarrior in my smoothie after a lifting workout, but that’s pretty much it. I like to get my protein from whole foods like beans, lentils, quinoa, tofu, tempeh, nuts, eggs, tuna and wild salmon. And let’s be real…more often than not protein powder tastes like chalk. So when I got a delightful package from my friends over at MCT Lean consisting of two big tubs of vegan protein powder, I was a little hesitant....

Allow me to elaborate on exactly how this orange muffin recipe was conceived. I just can’t get enough of my Lemon Blueberry Muffins and Lemon Poppyseed Muffins lately. But when I got a boatload of oranges in my CSA box a couple weeks ago, I knew there was a new challenge I couldn’t turn down. The fluffiest orange muffins in all the land scented with vanilla and packed with all the fresh citrus goodness were born!...

Updated March 26, 2019 On Friday, I received a text from our good friend. The text said “Happy Friday” with a picture of a giant box of peaches. I looked a little closer and noticed that the giant box of peaches was sitting on our front porch. I squealed and immediately responded thank you. I started planning out my weekend baking list and peach crumb bars were at the very top....

Updated June 02, 2020 Peanut butter is one of my all-time favorite foods. I have been a peanut butter lover since I was little. I could always count on a PB&J to make me happy, I still can. It is one of my go to comfort foods. I think peanut butter makes just about everything better, including banana bread. Have you tried Peanut Butter Banana Bread? If you are a peanut butter lover, you are going to go bananas for this banana bread recipe....

Updated October 13, 2019 I posted a candy corn picture on Instagram and several people mentioned that they loved candy corn with peanuts. I was intrigued, so I tried it. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. I am not a huge candy corn fan and the combo sounded odd. I took one bite and wasn’t blown away, so I took another bite. The combo tasted a little better. By my third bite, I was sold....

Updated February 10, 2020 Pesto Mac and Cheese My boys LOVE mac and cheese. Our baked mac and cheese recipe is one of their very favorite meals. You can’t go wrong with a classic, but sometimes I like to mix things up and create twists on classic recipes. When I was writing our cookbook, I was playing around with mac and cheese recipes and came up with the BEST mac and cheese recipe, Pesto Havarti Mac and Cheese....

Updated February 03, 2024 Pesto Meatballs- these juicy meatballs are easy to make and full of flavor thanks to the fresh basil pesto. They can be made in advance and are freezer friendly. Serve the meatballs with pasta, spaghetti squash, rice, or in a meatball sub! We also love making Pesto Meatballs, especially during the summer months when we have a lot of basil to use up. The meatballs are super moist with a crispy exterior and have a burst of flavor from basil pesto....

Our recent visit to Auntie Guan’s Kitchen brought back so many hometown memories and since that visit I have been continuously making dishes from their menu! Today I want to introduce these Dongbei (Northeastern Chinese) style pork and sauerkraut dumplings, a popular staple. These dumplings are filled with juicy pork and a very generous amount of sauerkraut. They’re seasoned with a few simple ingredients for a fragrant and savory taste....

I have all the finer details included here that make this the authentic aloo kurma recipe!. The great aspect of this potato kurma recipe is that it is highly customizable to suit your taste. I agree to be sent email. It has a little bit of some interesting spices like cumin and coriander seeds, turmeric powder, and fennel seeds. Unlike some of the south Indian recipes, you will not need any coriander leaves (curry leaves)....

Updated March 26, 2019 If I am lucky, I can get both boys down for a nap during lunch time. I usually have two hours to get things done. These are my power hours…and I am not talking about a power nap. Somedays I am tempted, but I always have too much to get done and I am not a good napper anyways. During nap time, I run around like a mad lady cleaning, doing laundry, and catching up on blog work....

I agree to be sent email. This recipe with Millets is my twist on a classic Indian. Millets cooked to tender perfection in a simple tomato-onion broth and a supporting vegetable makes this dish a simple breakfast option you should try today. Just like rice, Millet comes in several varieties, each with a unique flavor. I have used Proso millet variety for this recipe, but it is not to say that it is the only one that works....

This easy Pumpkin Banana bread is moist, perfectly spiced, and is great for breakfast or a snack! This is the perfect recipe to make when you have brown bananas sitting on the counter, but are craving pumpkin. I love making this loaf during the fall months. The bread is super moist, has the perfect amount of spices, and has a sugary, crunchy topping....

Because meal planning isn’t just cooking. There’s plenty of perusing the web for nutritious eats then perusing the grocery store isles for the goods before you can actually turn on the stove and get chopping. Wouldn’t it be just splendid to have healthy recipes and ingredients all laid out with step by step instructions and purty pictures? And what if it was all delivered to your door step? The madness!...

Updated March 26, 2019 Josh likes to go mountain biking on Saturday mornings. Mountain biking is not my thing, I am still getting used to riding my bike around the neighborhood, so I gladly stay with Caleb. I love our Saturday mornings together, just me and my little pea. One of our favorite Saturday morning activities is going to the farmers market. I push Caleb in the stroller and we wander around the market....

Updated March 05, 2020 Frozen yogurt is one of my favorite treats. I’ve always preferred soft serve fro yo over ice cream. Even before it became trendy and frozen yogurt shops were on every block. I guess I started the trend:) When we go to a frozen yogurt shop, I am always overwhelmed by all of the flavors and toppings. There are too many choices and since I am the worst at making decisions, it kind of stresses me out....
