Oh Hey 2018, So Nice to See You
I promise, I’m not trying to make this blog a once-a-month thing, it’s just, ya know, life. Similar to my post-Thanksgiving blog, I took some much needed time away from social media, blogging, and other digital thangs to focus on time with my family. While I wish I could have entertained you all amidst a crazy month, I unfortunately just couldn’t do it. So without being super repetitive…I’m back. And just like that, it’s 2018 and I’m 32 (NYE baby over here). 2017 was quite the year. I lost my job, I started a new one. I travelled to Denver, Portugal, and lots of places in between. One of…

Adventures in Baking with Coconut Flour (2 Stellar Recipes)
Over a year ago, I bought coconut flour for one paleo recipe I was testing out. ICYDK replacement flours are a little pricier than regular flours. But, I really wanted to try this recipe and it called for coconut flour. So on a whim, I bought it. Recipe turned out great…problem is, after I made that ONE dessert item, I never used the coconut flour again. It sat on the shelf in my cabinet, taking up much needed real estate. This particularly annoys my husband, as his two biggest pet peeves are clutter and spending money on things we never use. Cue the eye roll. So, as I’ve started to…

Soup Sunday: Butternut Bisque (Dairy-Free, Vegan)
Happy Sunday fam! I hope you had an amazing week and are ready to conquer the week ahead. Not sure about you, but as the weather starts to get chillier, my body craves a nice warm bowl of soup. In fact, Matt and I have a fall/winter ritual that we’ve so creatively named “Soup Sunday.” Given the time of year and my recent obsession with butternut squash, I decided to try making a butternut bisque. I’m getting all the feels as write this because butternut bisque reminds of a restaurant I used to go to in my hometown. I’d sip on a bowl of that delicious bisque while sharing so…

Meal Prep Monday: The Healthy Breakfast To-Go Edition
Happy Monday friends! Hope your weekend was every bit as fabulous as you are. Not sure about you, but breakfast is one of my most favorite (yes, that’s right…”most favorite”) meals of the day. I could literally eat all the components of a typical “breakfast meal” throughout the day. Specifically, coffee. Does that count? Anyway, the problem is, a healthy breakfast can be really difficult to fit in, specifically if you find yourself scrambling (no pun intended) to pull something together before heading off to work or school. Raise your hand if any of the following have become part of your breakfast routine as of late: Mondays are for…

Do you even Pumpkin?
Happy, happy Thursday. One more day til the weekend and, not sure about your weather situation, but it’s finally starting to feel like fall over here in Maryland. And what better way to celebrate fall than with pumpkins! Ironically, and this goes out to all my basics out there, it’s National Pumpkin Day! Even if you’re not into the whole PSL or pumpkin picking craze, you can’t deny that Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin is a classic. Don’t fight me on that one. So, naturally, I feel like it’s my duty to call some attention to some of the nutritional benefits of this little fall favorite. And if…
