Most of us know what banana “nice cream” is by now right? It’s basically the greatest thing ever. You take bananas, freeze them, blend them (just bananas, nothing else) and it creates this creamy dreamy soft serve consistency. It doesn’t need any sweetener. It’s literally just bananas, or at least that’s the oober basic version. But […]
Texas’s Best Caviar
After 3 months of traveling I have finally landed back in good ole Texas (for now ;). It’s technically “fall” but definitely does not feel like it here yet. 95 and humid just doesn’t quite scream “pumpkin.” So while I want to start making pumpkin everything…we’re just not there yet. Maybe next week though, because […]
Chickpea Salad Sandwich
The weather in Colorado is so perfect, it’s ridiculous (sorry Texas friends). All I want to do is be outside 24/7, whether it is in the form of running, hiking, biking, camping, canoeing, doing yoga in the park, playing volleyball, reading in my hammock, or just having a picnic with friends. All this activity though […]
The Trick to a Great Kale Salad…and a Simple Kale Favorite
Incase you missed it, National Kale Day was October first. Yes it’s a real thing! There’s pretty much a national day for everything these days. It falls on the first Wednesday in October each year! So now you can be better prepared for next year 🙂 “What’s the trick to a good kale salad?” I […]
Raw Cinnamon Rolls with Pumpkin Coconut Frosting
I was at Trader Joe’s when I stumbled across these beautiful dried banana pieces! I didn’t know what I was going to do with them just yet but I was going to try and come up with something! And then I was at a coffee shop earlier this week and there in the display case […]
First Day of Fall Crock Pot Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
It’s fall? It’s fall. It’s fall! And what better way to properly welcome fall than with pumpkin! Last night I quickly threw all these ingredients in a crock pot and this morning I got to wake up this morning to a house smelling like pumpkin pie and hot food all ready for me. One of […]
Peach Tart with Toasted Nut Crumble and Ginger Infused Coconut Cream
If you read my post earlier this summer (link here) then you know that my husband and I went to the farmers market and came back with 80 peaches!! We have since eaten all those peaches and gone back 2 more times! But you can guess what my favorite fruit is 😉 And you know […]
Black Bean Brownies for the Win!
Alright y’all I don’t know why its taken me so long to make these! They are just as easy and tasty as everyone says! Let’s just say that after my husband immediately devoured 4 brownies his jaw dropped when I then told him they were made with black beans! And guess what there’s hardly any fat […]
A Cereal That’s Actually Good for You!
I get it. It’s Monday morning, you were in a rush, you wanted a quick breakfast fix so you reached for the box of cereal. It happens. We’ve all been there. But guess what, cereal really isn’t as good for you as the packaging leads you to believe. Many of the health benefits claimed for breakfast […]
Rainy Day Treats: Lemon Coconut Rounds & Blueberry Chia Jam
I am not good at slowing down. I don’t do it very often/ever. Just take a day to myself. Sit around. Do nothing. That is foreign to me. Why would I want to “do nothing” when there are a million things that I could do and be and see! Lucky for me though, today God […]
