People. Have you ever ventured into the world of a soft boiled egg? Oh...my gosh. It is heaven. Soft, velvety, silky egg yolk that is perfectly encased within a tender, perfectly set egg white. I had never tried making one before this...isn't that crazy? I was missing out on a whole world of egg perfection! It just seemed daunting to me. How do you find the perfect balance of runny yolk + set ...
Refined Sugar Free Apple Sauce
Y'all. I wish I had footage that I could attach here of my one year old fiending so hard over this apple sauce. His little body just bounces up and down when I pull it out of the fridge and he just wants spoonful after spoonful after spoonful. I may or may not sneak a few spoonfuls myself, because this apple sauce is BAE - not just for the chillins. It's easy to make, it's healthy, and it's a ...
Overnight Crock-Pot Pumpkin Apple Butter
If you are from an area of the country/world that doesn't have apple butter, and you've never heard of it/don't know what it is, allow me to please explain to you the beauty of this delicious item. Apple butter. There's actually no butter, but "butter" is in the title because of the smooth, velvety spreadability of the final, pureed, slow cooked apple product. It's like jam in the way that you ...
Maple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups
When you are a parent, the more super quick and easy shortcuts you can take with various things throughout the day are KEY. I am a big fan of these shortcuts when it comes to breakfast. My son loves breakfast - it's the best he eats all day - baaasically an adult portion of food. What I usually do is make him a protein pancake (Kodiak Cakes FTW) and a smoothie. He loves the pancake, it's not ...
Baked Breakfast Sliders with Maple Butter Sauce
I am the antithesis of the horrendous and offensive term "morning person." If I wake up on my own without any alarms, then I'm okay. But, about 14 months ago, I gave birth to a permanent, living alarm clock that has zero snooze button capabilities, so since then there hasn't been tons of "waking up on my own." (He's the cutest alarm clock ever, though.) Things I can do to make my mornings less ...
Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread
This is what we call doing a swan dive into fall with a swimsuit made out of leaves, goggles crafted from pine cones, and a swim cap made from a pumpkin. Summer is officially over, and I am MORE than happy to warmly welcome my all time favorite season! Come on in, fall! Please, stay as long as you'd like. Preferably through winter - we can just skip all that freezing coldness this year right? I'm ...
Avocado “Toast” with a Sunny Side Up Egg
Okay, so I'm excited about this one. Breakfast can be a struggle for me, especially while doing Whole 30. I get sick of the same breakfasts over and over again, and I get frustrated with the lack of options. When I'm not on Whole 30, I tend to cycle between phases of eggs, protein pancakes, sometimes things like oatmeal or toast, and then when I get super sick of breakfast all together, just ...
Blueberry Butter
Blueberry butter. It's a thing. And it's upping breakfast's game hard. Not that this delicious butter has to be served with breakfast or anything, but...I'm just sayin'...smeared across a biscuit or across a toasted slice of cinnamon bread in the morning? Heaven. H-e-a-v-e-n. When I have stumbled across fruit butters in the past, they always seem to use jam as the fruit ingredient. I considered ...
Herbed Mixed Berry Salad
Do you guys find yourself craving healthy, fresh things like fruit and salad if you've had a few days of unhealthy eating? This happens to me biiiiiig time. If I've had some meals over the last few days that aren't exactly packed with nutrition (i.e. pizza...burgers...nah mean?), I end up having this deep desire for crunchy, fresh salads and bright, tangy fruit. That was me this weekend. On ...
Pumpkin Spice Granola
Alright, first of all, I've gotta give a big shout-out to my friends over at Chobani for sending me a delicious package of their products. I love representing companies that I can actually stand behind, and Chobani is definitely one of those companies! Greek yogurt is always something I have in my fridge, and Chobani is always the brand I buy. Especially now that they came out with their whole ...
