Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats with Peanut Butter Swirl

By

Happy FRIDAY!!!! Are you ready to dive into all things pumpkin?!?! I know it's kind of weird that I post a weekday breakfast recipe on Friday.

Spicy Chipotle Black Bean Hummus

By

HUMMUSSSSS!!! My true love! I haven't shared a new hummus recipe in a while. How dare I?!?! It's time my friends, for this ultra smoky, slightly spicy chipotle black bean hummus! Yes, we are making hummus with something other than chickpeas...is it still called hummus? I say yes! Why not? Food rules are meant to be broken. I guess the other option is to call it black bean dip but it's got that thick, rich, starchy hummus texture...it's not as runny as what I think of a dip to be. So we are … [Read more...]

Happy back to school season!!! We currently don't have any students (or teachers) in our house but we live right across the street from a middle school. I am very aware when school is back in session because middle school kids are very LOUD!!! Since I work from home I hear them and see them every time they are outside. Also, they are messy. We have so much trash in our yard from kids walking home during the school year. PSA to middle school kids out there,  please use a trash can, … [Read more...]

This is a very exciting moment for me!!!! I finally found a green juice that I actually like! One that doesn't taste like I am drinking  a salad.

About a year ago I shared a recipe for fresh carrot juice, which is really tasty. Since that carrot juice I have wanted to start drinking green juices. I … [Read more...]

Sometimes it takes a break from the daily tasks to help realize how much you really … [Read more...]
