Make your own fruity chia seed water by brewing raspberry tea and adding chia seeds for a nutritious and filling beverage. If you’ve never had chia seed water, this post might weird you out. The first time I ever tried chia seed water was when I received a bottle of Mama Chia Chia Beverage during…
Homemade Taco Seasoning
Make your own taco seasoning from scratch with this recipe that combines basic herbs and spices for a flavorful blend to be used in a variety of dishes. I used to buy taco seasoning packets at the store like most people do. Then I started just sprinkling in a little of this and that on…
Creamy Garlic Hummus
Creamy Garlic Hummus is a great snack option full of fiber, protein, and healthy fats that’s perfect for dipping veggies or pita. Where are all my hummus fans at?! I never used to like hummus, but due to it becoming a bit of a trendy food, I learned to like it since it’s such an…
Cocoa Roasted Almonds
For a sweet and healthy snack, make a batch of these roasted almonds coated in cocoa powder. I’m starting to think I should just turn this blog into a snack-focused food blog, because that’s basically what’s going on already. I’ve gotten really into flavored nuts and seeds, because they satisfy my cravings for sweet (or salty) but are full of healthy fats and other goodness. My latest creation is this cocoa…
Mango, Orange, & Carrot Smoothie
For a creamy and fruity smoothie, combine ingredients like fresh orange slices, mango, carrots, and ginger. Most of my smoothies look pretty similar—usually some sort of variation of my Berry Spinach Smoothie or Protein Spinach Smoothie. It’s nice to change things up once in awhile, though, using ingredients I may not always have on hand or think to put into a smoothie. Mango is a smoothie ingredient that I’ve used…
How to Make a Smoothie Bowl
Mix things up by turning your usual smoothie into a thick smoothie bowl, topped with ingredients like sliced fruit, chopped nuts, and granola. Smoothie bowls are such a fun spin on the usual smoothies a lot of us make. They’re basically just a thicker version of smoothies. Plus, they’re covered in toppings for added texture…
Strawberry Chia Seed Jam
For a more nutritious fruity spread, make jam with chia seeds and strawberries for a fresh and simple alternative. I’ve been on a chia seed kick lately. There are two recipes I’ve shared within the past month—Nut & Seed Granola and Cocoa Banana Chia Pudding—I’ve made a lot more than that though. As I mentioned in my February Favorites, I’ve been making a lot of homemade bread lately. So to help use it…
Cocoa Banana Chia Pudding
For a light yet filling snack, try this chocolate pudding thickened with chia seeds and sweetened with banana. Chia seed pudding can be a nice change of pace when you want something different to snack on but want it to be a nutritious option. If you didn’t already know, chia seeds absorb liquid making them expand, which can make a pudding-like consistency. The dish reminds me of…
Coconut Chocolate Granola Bars
Try these granola bars for a sweet and filling snack that has a chewy texture and is full of flavor. Ohhhh man, I’ve forgotten how good these granola bars are. I first shared this recipe four years ago, but I wanted to update the pictures to do the bars more justice. Although I think the…
Cooking for One: 3 Tips to Stay Motivated & on Track
Cooking can seem like a lot of work, no matter how many people you’re feeding. Although prepping food for a crowd can be especially labor-intensive, I think cooking for one can be more difficult motivation-wise. If I wasn’t 1. living with someone (i.e., my husband) or 2. regularly testing recipes for this blog, I know for…
10 Oatmeal Recipes for a Filling Breakfast
Happy Monday! Time to get back to the grind, which means a lot of us are going back to our weekly routines. I tend to start every day of the week with a filling breakfast that’s packed with whole grains, healthy fats, and protein. Oatmeal is the one breakfast food that I feel great about…
Goals for 2019: Keep on Keepin’ on
In keeping with tradition on here, I wanted my first post of the new year to be my personal goals for 2019. As I was trying to decide on goals to set for myself, I realized…I basically just want to keep working on what I had in my 2018 Goals. I’m actually really proud of how…
Green Juice
Fuel your body and give your immune system a boost by making this green juice that’s packed with fruits and veggies. I’ve talked about juicing here and there over the past couple years, but I haven’t actually made it for myself until this past year (due to just recently getting a juicer). Although I don’t…
Tips for the Best Thanksgiving Turkey
I’m not sure where fall has gone, but somehow next week is already Thanksgiving! In honor of the food-centric holiday, I wanted to highlight some of the tips I’ve jotted down over the past four or so Thanksgiving dinners I’ve cooked. More specifically, I’m talking about the star of the show: the turkey. Cooking the…
