Spicy Noodles With Mixed Veggies and Seafood
Something that I love during the cooler seasons is warm bowls. I love having warm grain bowls and warm noodle bowls to warm me up.

When you add pumpkin season into the mix and it just takes cozy to the next level. If you haven’tContinue reading “Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Spice Cookies”
Butternut Squash Pancakes
One thing I have found when cooking and baking fall foods is that things like squashes and potatoes are so versatile.

Veggie Bites
While I do love vegetables, sometimes they just aren’t what I am craving.

Banana Zucchini Bread

Fudge Brownies
Brownies or blondies? While I love vanilla everything, I will definitely take the brownies over blondies. These brownies are made with the amazing superfood: cacao.

I also used pumpkin in this recipeContinue reading “Fudge Brownies”
Banana Oat Bread
Who doesn’t love a good banana bread?! While there are so many different versions of banana bread out there (Martha Stewarts will always remain a childhood favorite) they all pretty much have a similar concept: bread made from bananas.

Classic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Oatmeal cookies truly bring me back to when I was a kid. Growing up usually it was banana bread or chocolate chip cookies being baked.

Chocolate Speckled Cookies
I love chocolate chip cookies. It took me so long to create my perfect version of a chocolate chip cookie. But sometimes I don’t want the big chunks of chocolate or a complete chocolate cookie.

Double Chocolate Mint Cookies
Since quarantining, all we want to eat around here is cookies (lots of other things… but especially cookies).

These simple cookies came out perfect on the first try. They are crunchy on the edges but soft in the center. They melt perfectly inContinue reading “Oat Flour Cookies”
Strawberry Poptarts
I used to live for poptarts. Nothing is better then biting into that warm gooey fruity center.

Chipotle Chicken-less Nuggets

Even if you are cutting down on your meat take, finding healthy and clean meat alternatives is tough. There are SO many plant based options outContinue reading “Chipotle Chicken-less Nuggets”
Southwest Style Plant-Based Scramble
Breakfast was always one of my favorite meals. I LOVE eggs. Especially omelette style. But at some point (probably during my pescatarian paleo adventure) eggs started making me feel, well, not so great. So I tried doing just shakes and smoothies, but eventually it gets old. So I have recently started making tofu scrambles whichContinue reading “Southwest Style Plant-Based Scramble”

Healthy Golden Sugar Cookies
Sugar cookies are my absolute favorite holiday cookie. These ones are my spin on the sugar cookie. They are not your typical soft and chewy cookie.

Apple Cider Donuts
Nothing says fall like going apple picking and buying some fresh apple cider and apple cider donuts.

I haveContinue reading “Apple Cider Donuts”
Pumpkin Spice Fudge Brownies
If you love chocolate and pumpkin spice, you will LOVE these brownies. They are so thick and gooey and so chocolatey.

Not Your Grandmas Pancakes
I woke up the other morning and my usual breakfast go-to’s didn’t sound the best. Usually I have an omelet with some fruit and veggies or I make a smoothie.
