Summery Avocado Toast

I guess I could’ve simply called this blog something to do with avocado & that would’ve been a fair representation of my love/love relationship with this creamy green fruit and its abundant inclusion in my diet. It’s like my “daily bread”. And half the time I eat it over bread, so yep- that sounds a bit…… Continue reading Summery Avocado Toast

Peanut Butter & Blueberry Oat Squares

Summer is (almost) here although we’ve been declaring it for the past month. I welcomed June with an Instagram post of pretty sunflowers spotted while on my morning run. I have resumed a mild form of running; it’s been 6 weeks post-surgery and my pants feel a bit tighter…. Running clears my mind and I…… Continue reading Peanut Butter & Blueberry Oat Squares

Green Glow Smoothie Bowl

There could very well be 2 cups of kale in your breakfast bowl and you wouldn’t even know it! Who doesn’t enjoy a nice, cold, nutrient-dense smoothie bowl with ALL the fruit & toppings under the sun? I was so thrilled to get some emails from you guys last week asking me about new smoothie bowl…… Continue reading Green Glow Smoothie Bowl

Flourless Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Life without peanut butter (or any nut butter, for that matter) would be incredibly dull + boring, don’t ya think? There once was a girl (not naming names) that was seriously addicted to a certain peanut butter recipe (that was conveniently written) on the back of a certain peanut butter jar. By the way, sorry…… Continue reading Flourless Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Strawberry Almond Butter Oat Squares

I am a child of the 90’s. Totally. I was obsessed with the Spice Girls, the Macarena, Seinfeld, Friends & Strawberry Nutri-Grain bars (in no particular order). Frosted Strawberry Pop-tarts came in at a close second and will therefore get an honorable mention. Just how did big brand America ever convince our parents to give…… Continue reading Strawberry Almond Butter Oat Squares

Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Oh.My.God. I have a newfound appreciation for what chia & chocolate can accomplish when paired together… Chocolate Chia Pudding is the stuff breakfast dreams are made of. It’s the stuff dessert dreams are made of. This pudding is: rich, creamy, chocolatey and healthy. All four adjectives hold true in the same sentence. Chia is a…… Continue reading Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Buckwheat Soba Spaghetti!

Traditional spaghetti was a primary staple in my university diet. At least a once-a-week meal that we would eat, reheat and eat over the course of two days. Not very exciting to say the least; but hearty and affordable. During my 4th and final year of undergrad school, I moved into a brand new residence that…… Continue reading Buckwheat Soba Spaghetti!

Fudgy Buckwheat Brownies

My relationship with chocolate has been one of the most significant liaisons in my life. And I am not even kidding! Chocolate was uplifting, comforting, familiar and always there for me. Let me start by saying I was never a huge chocolate aficionado per se, until I started hanging out with the little Bulgarian posse…… Continue reading Fudgy Buckwheat Brownies

Insanely Delicious Enchiladas!

So, it’s been a little quiet around here… I know, I know. I usually write 2-3 recipe posts a week; but I’ve got a little something personal to share with you. I’ve been busy getting ready for surgery tomorrow… Nothing major thankfully, just scheduled abdominal surgery to repair a hernia. I guess two beautiful back-to-back…… Continue reading Insanely Delicious Enchiladas!
