Do you ever have those weeks when you are just NOT MOTIVATED to do anything??? You have this big to-do list, but you would really rather just grab a pint of ice cream, sit down on the couch, and binge watch The Office until it's time to go to bed? Myyyyyy liiiife these past few weeks. It's a weird phase, though, because I am totally fine while I'm at work - productive, energized, into it. It's ...
Warm Brown Rice and Kale Salad with Goat Cheese and Almonds
Do you ever go through food phases? For example, you are in a sandwich phase, so you end up craving and eating a sandwich at least a few times a week. A Qdoba phase (my life) where you end up eating a burrito at least once a week? Basically, by food phase, I mean any time that there is one particular food or food group that you feel like you're CONSTANTLY craving. When Seth and I were still ...
Cheddar and Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Oh my gaaassshhhhh these are so amazing. I'm going to be straight up with you guys, because honesty is good right? This recipe has been in my "to make" note for several months now. I thought it had potential to be tasty, but I mainly thought it would just be a nice, healthy meal. I never expected it to be anywhere near as delicious as it was. This ranks on my list of meals that I could literally ...
Avocado, Arugula, and Tomato Toasts with Easy Balsamic Syrup
Sooooo....I realized once I was DONE editing these pictures for tonight's post that I literally just posted a "toast" recipe last week. Myyyyyyy bad. Gettin' a little repetitive over here. Once I had that realization, I did recall a faint memory of thinking "Okay, it's alright to post another toast recipe as long as I publish it at the end of the week so it's not back to back." Brilliant thought, ...
Peach, Goat Cheese, and Basil Toasts
Oh. My. Gosh. Listen to me right now. I have instructions for you. Stand up, get in your car, drive to the nearest grocery store, buy a whole grain baguette, goat cheese, peaches, and basil, go home, and MAKE THESE RIGHT THIS SECOND. You guys. It is not often that I lose my mind this much over a recipe. Yes, I only post things on here that I love, love, looooovveee, but there are only a handful ...
BLT Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocados
YES. This happened. We made some healthy BLT chicken salad and shoved it inside/heaped it on top of an avocado. When I say "we" made, I really just mean me. And Boone, who sat at my feet. And blitz, who kept trying to take bites of the lettuce. She loves her some lettuce. Her true obsession is kale, though. Kale is the cheese to her macaroni. The syrup to her waffles. The BLT chicken salad to her ...
Crunchy Cabbage Salad with Peanut Dressing [21 Day Fix]
Ah, Salad. We have had a rocky relationship in the past, and I sincerely apologize for that because you are delicious. I never was a huge fan of salad until I got older. I just thought they were BO-ring. Iceberg lettuce, carrots, cukes, ranch dressing. Blah, blah, blah. Boring. FALSE! If you put the right ingredients together, salads can be the bomb.com. I could literally eat a salad every single ...
Peanut Butter “Chonana” Superfood Milkshake [21 Day Fix]
Ima be real with you. This milkshake is the love of my life. And I have so many things to say about it...and it's late...but we're going to power through because this deliciousness deserves a worthy post. LET'S DO THIS. First of all..."Chonana"? You are probably thinking "Why is this crazy lady making up weird words?" I shall tell you...I cannot take credit for the invention of this word. When I ...
Roasted Veggie Bowls with Sweet Onion Sauce [21 Day Fix]
OH MY GOSH it has been forever since I've posted. For. Ever. I am sorrryyyyyyy. Here's what happened: my sister-in-law visited Kansas last weekend to house hunt, and I was thinking I would just cook and photograph while she was here, but I was having so much fun hanging out with her that I just didn't. ?????? I HAVE FAILED YOU ALL. I would have cooked and photographed during the week, but I have ...
Crunchy Sesame Kale Salad [21 Day Fix]
Yeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh kale. Kale is one of ma faves. Well, when it is made right. Kale has the potential to be the most delicious green ever or the most disgusting green ever depending on how you prepare it. Eating raw kale is a leeeeettle bit trickier since it can tend to be pretty tough and fibrous (more on that later [on how to avoid that toughness (how far can I inception this parenthetical ...
