I don’t know what got into me, but I specifically felt like experimenting with vegan desserts. Whenever vegan treats come to mind, I think cashews, dates, nuts. All very healthy, rich and flavorful. I have been craving cheesecake ever since national cheesecake day so was set out on a mission. This little tasty treat is…
Cleaning Eating at Panera Bread
Clean eating. It’s a relatively newer term, and most certainly a trendy one, that refers to eating unprocessed whole foods, free of additives and food colorings. For me clean eating is, buying and cooking with whole foods, choosing unrefined grains over refined ones, trying to follow the dirty dozen list for when to buy organic fruits…
Salmon Salad BLT
Helllllo! Can I just express my frustration at this thing called technology? Since we’ve had our internet set up- 3 weeks I guess? the service has been terrible. Unbearable really. I have hardly been able to get any work done because I guess disconnected every 5 minutes. Seriously one of the most frustrating things when…
A Virtual Coffee Date
If we were having coffee this morning, I’d tell you I was going to Houston for the weekend to visit my sister-in-law and her family. It’s only a 3 1/2 hour drive which is awesome. We really look forward to all our weekend getaways because there is not much to do in this new small…
Watermelon Cucumber Salad
I vowed to never make a watermelon salad. In fact I wouldn’t look twice at watermelon salad recipes. I don’t know, I just had this thing about wanting my watermelon plain and not adding it to vegetables. Then I think back to my days of counseling when I’d encourage my clients or patients to try new…
Buffalo Chicken Pizza with Goat Cheese
You guys, I am back! We finally got internet set up this week! Woo hoo. I feel like a new woman. It’s been over a week since I’ve been on the computer and even when I was on my parent’s computer when we were visiting them before the move, I wasn’t on too often. I…
An Update and Classic Cobb Salad
Hi friends! How are you? I can’t believe it’s been over 3 weeks since we moved from Washington state and since my last post! I thought I would pop in an tell you what I’ve been up to and fill you in on what’s to come. We left Washington 3 weeks ago and it took…
Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken
Hey friends! I am busting out my slow cooker to bring you a super simple chicken recipe using store-bought salsa verde (salsa verde with avocado to be exact). The kids had their last day of school on Wednesday, ending with a packed schedule of field trips and other appointments. And we’ve been in full moving…
Vegan Blueberry Pancakes & Meal Planning Monday!
Whether you are vegan, cooking for friends and family who are vegan or just run out of eggs and cow’s milk, this is a fantastic pancake recipe. You can hardly tell the difference from “regular pancakes” and these have become one of my favorites. The cinnamon really comes through which I just loved. It’s been…
Green Lentil Salad
So I was cleaning out the pantry and realized that I probably don’t need to buy food for the next two weeks before we move. Of course, I would love to have a few more trips to Costco (insert a very sad face), but I think I can make do with a lot of staples I still have….
