Well this is literally my obsession above all else. I eat it for lunch at least half the days of the week, and when I'm not eating it, I'm missing it. It is creamy and rich from the avocado, cheesy, smooth, and delicious from the fresh mozzarella cheese, bright and acidic from the tomatoes + the vinaigrette, and slightly sweet from the balsamic reduction. It hits every taste bud in your WHOLE ...
Savory Poached Egg Oatmeal
Alright, I'ma need you to bear with me through this one with some TRUST, people. Because this recipe sounds weird, and it might be a little hard to wrap your head around. Savory oatmeal...I was the most skeptical of all time when recipe testing this. I've only ever had oatmeal with things like brown sugar, maple syrup, bananas, cinnamon, fruit, etc...always sweet and breakfast-y - NEVER savory and ...
Garlic Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes
Can we just take a moment here? Look at that beautiful little tomato. Stuffed with garlic, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then roasted for an entire hour so it just condenses and becomes ultra soft, sweet, and loaded with roasted, caramelized flavor. What you're looking at here is tomato dreams, people. The peak of tomato perfection. What each ...
My Favorite Freezer Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast is a struggle. I'm almost never in the mood to cook anything legit when I wake up (unless it's a weekend), I'm usually rushed to get out the door if we are going anywhere, and even if we aren't going anywhere, I'm busy getting my son breakfast + taking care of him, so I rarely am able to throw down anything other than a quick bowl of cereal. If your mornings look anything like that or ...
How To: The Perfect Soft Boiled Egg
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 ...
