Last week at Whole Foods, I spotted these Fantastic foods mixes on sale. I love a good falafel and I figured it couldn’t hurt to try this mix. Along with some tabouli and baba ganoush (also on sale for buy one, get one free) it was a cheap store-bought fix for my Mediterranean craving. All [...]

After making Kristen’s Cherry Chocolate Bomb shake yesterday, I realized that I have a new (and luckily very healthy) addiction to deal with. Today as I was getting ready to make another delicious shake, I noticed that I was out of bananas which are a crucial ingredient! I pouted for a few minutes, and then [...]

I have a new favorite nut butter, only it’s not actually made from nuts. This Naturally Nutty sunflower seed butter is my latest obsession! I scored a couple of jars for a great price during one of Kath’s Open Sky promotions last week, and boy am I glad I did. I have always been a [...]

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already Friday! I hope everyone had a good week. Today’s lunch was this simple, yet amazing flatbread sandwich. I got these 7-inch flatbreads at Costco the other day and they make great sandwiches, wraps, and pizza crusts. I am kind of low on food right now, but I managed to [...]

Yesterday I met up with an old middle school friend who was in town for the holidays. The weather was absolutely perfect, so we went to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden to walk around and enjoy nature. The garden is composed of 83 beautiful acres of lush tropical plants. There are also lots of animals that [...]

It’s about that time again to show you what I got in my CSA box this week! Earlier today I picked up this colorful box of produce from my neighborhood coordinator, Julianne. I love all the variety this time around. Fresh organic berries are such a treat! I can’t wait to try this bad boy! [...]
Not Your Average Oatmeal

I eat oatmeal for breakfast almost every morning. It’s healthy, easy to make, and it tastes great. I usually make simple bowls of oats that are not neccessarily blog worthy, but these dessert-like bowls are completely worth sharing. Today’s special treat was apple-cinnamon oats. I diced up a small apple and cooked it with the [...]

Today I received my first ever CSA box of organic produce through the buying club I signed up for last week. Why did it take me so long to do this?! So far, I am really impressed with the selection. Here’s what is in the box: 3 red onions 1 avocado 2 red peppers 2 [...]
