A few weeks ago I asked you on Instagram what your favorite summer desserts are, and overwhelmingly the answer was strawberry shortcake! I’m honestly not surprised. It’s like a cross between cake and…
I wanted to get these tacos up in time for Cinco de Mayo, but alas I didn’t achieve my goal. (However, I fee like every day is a good day for tacos, so does it really matter?) The first testing of these tacos were *good* and I almost put that recipe up, but I knew…
This salad is the heathyish version of a California cobb salad. It’s got all the traditional ingredients like romaine lettuce, hardboiled eggs, tomatoes, chicken, avocado, chives, and cheese. The health-ified part is the bacon. I decided to make shiitake bacon using shiitake mushrooms, liquid smoke, toasted sesame oil, smoked paprika, and salt. It’s a crunchy,…
There have only been a few cookbooks that have been published where I think, wow this is almost the exact cookbook that would come out of my brain at this moment, and Healthier Together is one of them. My (internet) friend Liz created the perfect health-ier/healthy-ish book, with recipes that take all of your favorite…

For a long time in my life I thought that bread was too hard to make. I watched other bloggers making beautiful loaves, and just thought, “nah that’ll never be me.” I watched Paul…
I’ve been to Hawaii once. I was a child, and went on family vacation to Oahu and Maui. I don’t remember a lot aside from “learning to surf” (I was awful), attending a luau, and ABC stores everywhere. I do remember being highly aware of the cultural differences I was experiencing. I’m not sure I’d…
I was pumping gas into my car when I got the idea for this pizza. Seriously. I was standing there staring at a really gross looking poster of an utterly bland looking breakfast pizza with white sauce, and scrambled eggs, and processed meat all over it. You could buy it at the gas station for…
This recipe came as a direct request from a reader. I think they had tried a sunflower seed queso dip from somewhere and needed a way to recreate it at home. So I set off to testing! Since I already have these Smoked Cashew Salsa and Smokey “Cheese” Sauce recipes on my site, I wanted to focus on…
I’m back with another meal prep guide! You seemed to like my Adaptable Winter Meal Prep Guide, so I decided to create this vegetarian and gluten-free variation. If you haven’t checked out that first version, you should know that my meal prep guides are a little different than your average. Instead of prepping full meals at…
It’s been a while since I’ve had chia pudding in my morning rotation, but you guys asked for breakfast parfait ideas so here we are! I’ve played around with different versions of chia pudding for YEARS. From my blueberry chia overnight oats to my Orange Creamsicle Chia Seed Pudding or even my Nut and Seed Overnight…
Is there any child in the world that doesn’t love creamsicles? Or orange soda? I was wayyyy into that stuff as a kid. And I still love the flavor of it, although the sugar gives me a headache. I haven’t had anything creamsicle flavored in so long that I nearly forgot it was a thing….
My favorite meals, no matter if it’s breakfast lunch or dinner, can only be described as “stuff in a bowl.” You know what I’m talking about. The quick and painless things you throw together in a bowl and they make magic in your mouth. Welp, that’s what you’ve got here. A ton of nuts and…
