My boyfriend’s exact words after giving him one of these was “Why are you trying to disguise the fact this is actually just a salad?”, followed by: “These are actually pretty good!” Hahaha! That definitely made me laugh. I like to get a bit creative with my food options, especially when it comes to incorporating…

Bright Rainbow Bell Pepper Brunch: Eggs Over Easy in Bell Pepper Slices, Topped with Fontina Cheese and Sprinkled with Black Pepper and Parsley, Drizzled with Hot Sauce, and Served with Seed Toast
Spring is (technically) here, but it doesn’t feel like it! Especially with another snow storm making its way through (we are NINE inches and counting so far here!). So, I decided I wanted something colorful to brighten the day and crafted this bell pepper brunch tray! It’s the perfect balance between sweet, spicy, and savory,…
Spirulina Shamrock Shake: Only 10 Ingredients, Packed with Nutrients, Vitamins and Pure Ingredients Including Milk, Spinach, Yogurt, Banana, Honey and Spirulina Powder
I’m sure many of you have seen the ads, articles, etc. saying that a McDonald’s Shamrock Shake has 54 ingredients, 73 grams of sugar and 530 calories….a serving. Which is kind of insane, if you ask me. I had a Shamrock Shake once in college (mostly because a friend was shocked I never had one…
Blissful Breakfast Buddha Bowl: Kale, Edamame, Cherry Tomatoes, Butternut Squash Noodles, and Seed Toast with Scallion Cream Cheese
It has been a full (but great!) week, and I am so thrilled to have the chance to cook and create again this weekend! One of my favorite meals to “reset” is a Buddha Bowl. Buddha Bowls are SO satisfying, and you can basically use whatever vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, proteins, etc. that you…
Unique Meat, Grain, Cheese and Vegetable Dinner: Pesto Pearled Couscous, Served with a Variety of Baked Vegetables, Topped with Fried Halloumi Cheese and Crisped Prosciutto Slices
I am ALL ABOUT creating restaurant-worthy meals at home. Yes, it is definitely super nice to go out to eat (don’t get me wrong). No trips to the grocery store, time spent preparing food, no mountains of dishes and a nice change of scenery. But, sometimes, cooking in your pajamas with a glass of wine that…
Easy Honey Buffalo Cauliflower “Wings”: Lightly Breaded Cauliflower Florets, Covered in a Delicious Honey Buffalo Sauce and Baked to Crisp Perfection
First of all (I’ll admit) – these turned out WAY better than I expected them too! They were so good that I wiped through an entire tray with three other people in less than a half hour. So, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. I actually don’t really like cauliflower (unless it’s blended into a soup or…
Quick, Healthy and Light Breakfast Tacos: Egg, Black Beans, Sweet Peppers and Spinach, all Wrapped in Corn Tortillas with Melted Cheddar and Smashed Avocado
What’s better than breakfast tacos? Probably very few things. These are one of my favorite breakfast items to order when I am out to eat for brunch, but (personally) I like making them at home even better because I can use my favorite ingredients! These tacos are heavy on the vegetables, but light in consistency….
The Best Oven-Baked Zucchini Fries: White Truffle Oil, Parmesan Cheese and Crispy Panko Encrusted Zucchini Strips, Baked to Perfection
Yes, I am already thinking about great snack foods to have for the Super Bowl in a few weeks. Even more so since the Eagles (WOOT WOOT!!) will be in it this year! My family always goes all out for the Super Bowl (especially more so when our team is in it!), and the kitchen…
Very Veggie Mac and Cheese: Pasta Shells, Sweet Potato Noodles, Petite Green Peas and Super Greens, All Coated in a White Cheddar Pumpkin Sauce
I had every intention to make a salad today. But then it snowed. And it was cold. On top of it already being my work from home day. So I felt like I could do something a little more special for lunch. And that is when I fell back to my go-to when I am…
Vegan Breakfast Scramble Bowl: Curry Tofu, Onions, Peppers, and Cherry Tomatoes, Side of Salad and Vegan Bread and Butter
Some of you (if you went to Susquehanna University or a neighboring university) may remember the Cherry Alley Cafe in Lewisburg, PA. Sadly, it is now closed (I still have my fingers crossed someone will buy it and reopen it SOON). One of my FAVORITE brunches to get there was the tofu scramble – it…
