  • S’mores Brownies + Baby Shower

    It’s baby shower time!  I told y’all that my niece Molly was born last week, but I think I left out that she was over a month early.  So we just had the baby shower.  🙂 I was in charge of food.  Der. So what do you make for a camping-themed baby shower?  Ummmm s’mores.  […]

  • Cinnamon French Toast Crunch

    I made myself a breakfast treat.  I’ve been working from home this week since Christmas, and that means a slow morning, a leisurely breakfast, annnnd working this weekend to make up for lost time . . . Worth it. I was really excited about my idea to crush up Cinnamon Toast Crunch and coat french […]

  • Cream Cheese Tofu Scramble

    Okay, I’ve got a weird dish for y’all.  I hope you give it a try and like it! Growing up, my mom used to make scrambled eggs and then mix a bit of cream cheese into them just at the end of cooking so it got warm and a little melty.  Weird, right?  Absolutely wonderful.  […]

  • Black Bean, Sweet Potato & Soy Chorizo Soup

    Good day!  I hope everyone had a happy holiday!  My holiday was a bit unconventional with my new niece and my sister still in the hospital.  But Christmas at the hospital turned out well!  I got to hold Molly for the first time Christmas Eve.  🙂

  • Sweet Almond Dark Hot Chocolate

    Happy first day of a long holiday weekend!  At least I hope it is for all of you.  If not, please feel free to drown your sorrows in a gigantic mug of this awesome cocoa.  Kahlua goes well with it if necessary. A decadent holiday treat.  In a mug.  Cozy and comforting and sweet. 

  • Golden Tangerine Sunrise Juice

    I’ve been having fun juicing tangerines lately.  Buy a big bag for a few bucks, and throw them into any juice or on the side of any meal.  A happy food 🙂 The other day I was grabbing things out of my fridge at random to juice, and realized that everything I pulled out of […]

  • Truffled Fried Smashed Potatoes

    Potatoes at their best.  Yams plus mixed baby potatoes.  Lightly mashed.  Lightly fried.  In truffle oil and garlic avocado oil.  I’m pretty happy with myself.  I was excited about this idea when I thought of it, but it turned out way better than I anticipated!  I made it at the end of the day when […]

  • Everyday Sauteed Mushrooms

    You know what’s weird?  Sometimes I forget that my favorite go-to dishes would make a great post!  This mushroom recipe is a really common side-dish to my dinners; in fact, it’s so commonplace to me that I failed to realize that it is still blog-worthy.  But then other day I had some friends over for […]

  • Blueberry Lemon Poppy Seed Breakfast Truffles

    I braved my mini food processor today and made by far my favorite breakfast truffles yet!   I absolutely love the combination of blueberry + lemon, and lemon + poppy seed.  All combine here for a fantastic pre-workout fuel or guilt free dessert! 

  • Mushroom & Brown Rice Noodle Soup

    Now that it’s pretty much winter, prepare for more soup posts!  I love winter soups.  Nothing warms your soul and fills your belly more!  I planned this to be a soba noodle soup, but when I was perusing the noodle section, this pre-packaged Happy Pho box really caught my eye.  So this is half my […]
