I love the month of March. It means spring is on its way, though the winter here in Boise was not too bad. It means my birthday is around the corner and I’m trying really hard not to think about getting older, but hoping I’m getting wiser. Ha! I’m excited to see my lawn turning […]
Quinoa, Grapefruit and Golden Beet Salad
I’m always on the lookout for new healthy recipes to make for my family. My friend, Kelly Pfeiffer who writes the food blog, Nosh and Nourish, just came out with a book called Superfoods at Every Meal: Nourish Your Family with Quick and Easy Recipes Using 10 Everyday Superfoods. I have been so excited to have […]
Flourless Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies
In our family, we have high expectations for gluten-free cookies. I’m the only gluten-free one, so a lot of the time, I make stuff for everyone else. But that gets kind of old. Making two separate dinners or desserts is a lot of work and frankly, a huge pain. My family has more or less agreed […]
Breakfast Pink Sunrise Strawberry Smoothie
This healthy, vibrant strawberry smoothie is perfect for breakfast! Called “Pink Sunrise” it will brighten up your morning and get it off to a good start! I’ve never been one to apologize for being absent over here on the blog. Life happens and sometimes blogging has to wait a bit. But I somehow can’t believe […]
The Easiest Chocolate No Bake Cookies
Chocolate no bake cookies are a classic favorite. Easy to put together, delicious, and full of rolled oats. I loved chocolate no bake cookies as a kid, but I haven’t made them for years. These no bake cookies are actually more like a cross between candy and cookies. When I first tasted them, they reminded me of […]
Roasted Butternut Squash Dip
Every recipe I share with you has some sort of story. Sometimes it’s the story of an old family recipe, other times it’s a brand new story still in the making. This one is an in-between-story recipe. When I was a newlywed, I catered an open house during the holidays. (I mention that time period a […]
Curried Vegan Pumpkin Pie (Gluten-Free)
Pumpkin pie lovers fall into two (maybe three) camps – purists and adventurists. At least that’s the case in my family. My husband was abhorred by the idea of changing up the yearly pumpkin pie(s) until I started baking and he started tasting. We used almost-burnt caramel as a base one year. Another the pie […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream
The weather the last few days has been so gorgeous – incredibly chilly, but gorgeous. And this morning…it snowed! I’m totally NOT ready for it to be winter yet. Our trees have almost lost all of their leaves (sniff, sniff) and we’ve turned on the heat. The cold weather clothes are now out of storage […]
Moroccan Spiced Cauliflower Couscous
One of my favorite new-to-me food trends this year has been cauliflower rice or couscous. I am 100% a fan. I started making this Moroccan Spiced Cauliflower Couscous in the summer and I haven’t stopped! We LOVE it. Like a whole bunch. Each time I give it a new little twist depending on what I […]
Cranberry Pear Acai Bowl
Fall is just flying by. How is it already nearly the end of the month?! Our new place has so many windows and our yard and our neighbors’ yards have so many trees. I’m sitting in my office now admiring the different fall colors I see out my window. As much as I love warm […]
