Most of us know what banana “nice cream” is by now right? It’s basically the greatest thing ever.

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

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 […]
Creamy Dreamy Cold Brew Coffee!
If you haven’t learned by now, I LOVE me some coffee! It took me years to get here, but I now prefer a a cup of bold black coffee over the cream and sugar (with some added coffee) cups I drank for years. I never thought I could be one of those people who actually […]
