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 ...
Fried Egg Turkey Burgers with Sweet Potato “Buns”
Whole 30 day one is in the books, and we are makin' our way through day two right now! I think I'll have less of those Whole 30 symptoms that other people experience (like the "hangover" and super tired/pissy days at the beginning) because I was doing paleo for several weeks before this, so my body is used to this style of eating for the most part. I will say, however, that the fact that honey is ...
3 Cheese Quinoa Cakes
Can you go wrong with anything that is titled "3 cheese"? You definitely can't go wrong with these quinoa cakes, I know that. They are dense, cheesy, crispy, and super filling and hearty. Eat them as a side, or pile a few on your plate for a whole meal. They are seriously delicious! This recipe was actually originally supposed to just be three cheese quinoa...just a bowl of cheesy quinoa. Which ...
Open Faced Fried Egg Burgers with Green Chili Mayo
What? Oh, hello there. Sorry, I didn't see you for a second. I was preoccupied violently shoving five of these open faced fried egg burgers into my mouth at once and having a moment savoring the delicious perfection that is THIS BURGER. You guys...I'm mildly freaking out at the moment over how delicious these are. It is my new go-to recipe for burgers. The flavor here is OFF THE CHARTS amazing. ...
Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onion, and Pine Nut Toasts
Ima have to make this one short today, friends. Today has been busy and crazy, and little Mr. Ford has been a high maintenance little nugget. Fussy, fussy, fussy any time I try and rock him to sleep. After asking a bunch of people for advice, it turns out that the magic trick is to just stand up, walk him around, and sway/bounce him. Apparently he just hates sitting and being rocked to sleep with ...
Dilled Cream Cheese and Cucumber Bagels
Have you guys ever tried the combo of dill, cream cheese, and cucumber together? Oh my goodness - it is flavor heaven. I'm going through a dill phase right now. I want dill in everything that I eat...everything. It is just so yummy and SO summery! I haven't ever gotten into using dill in the past, but suddenly I'm all bout that life, yo. I bought a spiralizer from Amazon recently. Well, ...
Cinnamon Cheesecake Stuffed Crescent Rolls
Ah, crescent rolls. I love you an extra ton because baking is not one of my strong suits. Number one: I make a massive, giant, huge, kitchen-earthquake of a mess. Number two: my stuff never turns out right. Number three: it's not as much fun as cooking because you have to stick to the recipe and get out a billion and one measuring cups and spoons. Whoops, sorry...a billion and two. BUT - then ...
Mini BBQ Meatloaves
Even if these were gross, I would probably still be in love with them because they are adorable. Little meatloaf muffins 😍. So cute. Luckily they are not only super fun, but they are also very yummy! These little guys take no time to throw together, and they perfectly distribute throughout your standard muffin tin - it's quite satisfying, actually. I never used to be the biggest fan of ...
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 ...
