A perfect crunchy and savory pairing to any breakfast or brunch and an ideal appetizer to serve to family and friends. Sometimes I have a tricky time figuring out what to do with my root vegetables and I am challenged to get creative. They always look so beautiful but also somewhat intimidating. Over the summer, I made…

My Version of the “Science Salad”: Apple Slices, Baby Spinach, Walnuts, Capers, Fresh Basil, Longhorn Cheese Crumbles, and Bleu Cheese & Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressings, Sprinkled with Black Pepper
Spicing up one of my all-time favorite salads ~ The “Science Salad”! Granted, you probably don’t know of this salad unless you ordered it at The Periodic Table (Ele’s Café) while studying at Susquehanna University. The original salad is pretty simple – mixed greens, red onion, walnuts, bleu cheese crumbles, apple hunks and a creamy balsamic dressing with…
“Bread-less” Banana Strawberry Breakfast Bread Pudding: Eggs, Bananas, Cinnamon, Vanilla Extract, Baking Powder, Fresh Strawberries and Whipped Cream
I’ll be completely honest – this recipe was created from a disaster. And that disaster was my attempt to make a solely egg and banana-based pancake that I soon found out was somewhat impossible to flip/keep intact. After tasting the pieces of the no-longer pancake, I found that it reminded me of something else: bread pudding. The consistency…
Colorful Raw Veggie “Tacos”: Lettuce “Taco Shells”, Topped with Hummus, Broccoli and Carrot Slaw, Cucumbers, Sweet Peppers, and Rainbow Carrots, Drizzled with a Spicy Chipotle Sauce
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,…
Irish Hunter’s Pie: Base Layer of Mushrooms, Peas, Carrots, Broccoli, Onion, and Garlic, Middle Layer of Ground Venison, Topped with Creamy Mashed Potatoes and Cheddar Cheese, Drizzled with Gravy
If you are going to make anything this weekend to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, make this Hunter’s Pie. Granted, I know most of you will not have ground venison on hand (I can thank my Dad for that), but there are many other meats you can substitute or you can even do a meatless version!…
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…
Baked Irish Breakfast Oatmeal: Steel-Cut Oats, Whole Milk, Apple Sauce, Honeycrisp Apple Pieces, Honey, Cinnamon and Vanilla, With a Crisp Coconut Sugar and Granola Top
St. Patrick’s day is right around the corner! One of my favorite parts about celebrating any holiday is the food – especially ones with a unique cultural heritage. I am (supposedly) 1/4 Irish, so I figured now is a good time to learn more about and embrace my heritage. Additionally, I have a trip to…
