  • 20 Minute Strawberry Vanilla Bean Pie

    20 Minute Strawberry Vanilla Bean Pie

    It’s PIE time! Hooray 🙂 🙂 🙂 20 minute strawberry pie to be exact! This week feels all fall like and gloomy here! It came out of nowhere! (and I don’t think it’s here to stay just yet …. 🙁 ) Last week at the farmer’s market, Preston and I could smell the amazing scent…

  • Strawberry Tsunami Smoothie

    Strawberry Tsunami Smoothie

    Happy Thursday, friends! How are you today? I’m feeling a little sleep deprived this week. Preston and I did not sleep well while he was sick, and I am starting the never-ending battle between trying to work out in the mornings or figure out if I can actually do it consistently in the evenings! The…

  • Layered Strawberry Coconut Smoothie

    Hey everybody! How was your weekend?  Do anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?  I didn’t really do anything, though yesterday was awesome for a totally un-holiday-related reason: I took the day off work.  Not for any reason at all, just because I needed a little breather, a day off, a personal day. It. was. amazing. …

  • Pink Golden Grapefruit Juice

    Does daylight savings time make anyone else feel super groggy and jet-lagged? I know, I know, it’s only an hour. But MAN getting up in the mornings this week was really hard. I thought it was just a lack of sleep over the weekend and Monday blues. Then Tuesday in my half-asleep state, instead of hitting “snooze”…

  • No Sugar Added Strawberry Cupcakes

    My niece Molly just turned one last month! Sadly, she was sick on her actual birthday, but we made sure to reschedule a birthday party for the little kiddo. Of course, I was in charge of the cake.  Baby’s first cake!  So excited.  To keep her from eating TOO much sugar, I decided to sweeten the…

  • Strawberry Orange Spa Water

    Yes, I’m basically posting water as a recipe today.  But I promise it’s really really good water.  Does that help? The hotel where I stayed in Monterey had a giant container of this infused water in the lobby.  I didn’t notice it until my second day there, and I managed to have MANY cups of…

  • Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream

      Alright, I have a second dessert post in a row for you. I have three wonderful savory recipes that I’ve been trying to get up, but I keep running into seriously stupid road blocks.  Mostly because I’m being way slow this week.    It’s my last week at work before I start my new…

  • Truffled Strawberry Salad

    The first salad for my June Salad-a-Day Challenge is very special to me.  We had a little reunion this weekend.  We had a little rift after I gave up goat cheese to become vegan.  He’s finally come around with an equally wonderfully vegan version.  So I decided we could make it work after all. This…

  • Endless Energy Strawberry Rhubarb Smoothie

      I made a light summer-ready smoothie this weekend with two new experimental ingredients. First up is maca.  Want some serious energy from a natural source?  Done.  Maca is a root.  You can buy it raw sometimes, but it’s difficult to find.  You can also buy maca powder, which has been dried and ground.  Maca…

  • Vanilla Bean Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

    Another light fruit-based dessert!  You’re going to see PLENTY of these in the near future. I actually made these for breakfast.  Well, a post-breakfast snack.  That’s the same, right? So good.  Way simpler than you’d think.  Satisfying.  Guilt-free.
