The first time I experienced store-bought almond butter it was very gritty. It was then and there that I decided I would stick to my smooth and creamy peanut butter. That was until I discovered that almond butter is super easy to make yourself! All you need is a little patience. Okay maybe a lot of patience. That patience is well worth it. The result is an ultra smooth and creamy, luscious butter that is bursting with sweet and nutty almond flavor. The first time I made almond butter It … [Read more...]
Cauliflower Balls Stuffed with Cheese
Have you heard of cauliflower pizza crust? The idea is to make a healthy, low-carb, gluten-free option for pizza crust. Sounds like an ingenious idea, especially since cauliflower is a vegetable, right? Wrong! I have tried making it about 3 times. Each time I have been disappointed in how the consistency of the crust holds up. The toppings fall right off, the crust crumbles, and you have to use a fork to eat it. I believe that you should always be able to eat pizza with your hands, … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Seed Mayan Dark Chocolate Bark
Halloween is just around the corner! Do you have your pumpkins carved and your costumes picked out yet? Since we just bought our first house in June, we don’t have very many Halloween decorations, but I am ecstatic to have a front stoop to display our Jack-O-Lanterns on! One of my favorite parts about carving pumpkins as a kid was, of course, the food. I loved it when my mom roasted the pumpkin seeds with some sea salt. They turned from these gooey, slimy guts of the pumpkin into these … [Read more...]
Curried Pumpkin Soup
Pumpkin, pumpkin, and more pumpkins! We are all about pumpkins these days, mostly pumpkin-spiced desserts and lattes. Last week I joined in on the pumpkin mania by making my Pumpkin Bars with Honey- Sweetened Cream Cheese Frosting. They hit the spot! Today I am adding a savory recipe to our pumpkin recipe collection! Why do I dare stray away from pumpkin-spiced desserts? Because our poor little orange squash friend has been sweetened and turned into every dessert possible. It has … [Read more...]
Mushroom, Kale, and Goat Cheese Stuffed Acorn Squash
Nothing screams fall-time like squash. It begins to pop up everywhere in grocery stores, at farmer’s markets, at orchards. I become giddy when I see it at the store. My eyes get big, my mouth starts watering, and my stomach begins to growl. When I see it on sale I begin to load it into my cart with 2 of each variety. Sometimes I contemplate 3 of each. No Joke. When I was a kid I hated squash. I only remember having it once a year at Thanksgiving. It was orange, and mushy, … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Bars with Honey Sweetened Cream Cheese Frosting (GF)
Pumpkin recipes are officially in full swing! First I made my DIY Pumpkin Puree, and now I present these scrumptious Pumpkin Bars with Honey-Sweetened Cream Cheese Frosting. This recipe was actually requested by a good friend of mine once she saw my DIY Pumpkin Puree post last week. I was happy to oblige; what is not to love about pumpkin bars? They are pretty much a pumpkin spiced cake with cream cheese frosting. They are great for parties because they are easy to transport and can … [Read more...]
Broccoli and Kale Quiche with Quinoa Crust
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I couldn’t agree more. I find that the type of breakfast I have really determines how my entire day turns out. I always feel best when I eat a high protein breakfast that is balanced with veggies or fruit and a complex carb such as quinoa. It is on these days that my body and brain function the best. There is one issue; I don’t always have time in the mornings to make such a spread. Solution: Broccoli and Kale Quiche … [Read more...]

Because homemade always tastes better. Trust me, it has a much … [Read more...]
Homemade Almond Milk
You probably know by now that I grew up in Wisconsin. I was raised on all things dairy. I love cheese, ice cream, fresh whipped cream, and yogurt. I love all dairy products except for one. Milk. You heard me. I hate milk. It is pure evil. I can’t even smell it without gagging. The only way I can enjoy milk is if it is heavily seasoned as the base of a soup or in hot chocolate. A couple years ago I discovered store-bought almond milk. It still wasn’t my favorite drink, but it was tolerable. I … [Read more...]
Pork Chops with Apples and Gouda
Fall is officially upon us this week. As much as I admit that I begin to get a little sad to say goodbye to long, hot summer days, I do enjoy all that fall has to offer. I like the cool crisp air, wearing hoodies, vibrant tree colors, cuddling up on the couch with a blanket, book, and hot cup of tea. And of course, I especially love the food that fall brings. What’s not to love about fall-time food? You’ve got pumpkin-spiced desserts, winter squash, heart-warming soups, and of course crisp, … [Read more...]
