I’ve been on a muffin kick lately. This is the third week in a row I’ve made them. First, it was my Greek Yogurt Banana Bread in muffin form. Then I made the Banana Bran Muffins I shared recently. Yesterday, I made a new recipe that I’ve been wanting to try for months—muffins filled with strawberries,…
Banana Bran Muffins
Since most of the baked goods I make are dessert (not sorry), I figured it was time to branch out and make something more nutritious. I’m talking muffins today, people—banana bread-inspired, bran-filled muffins. Why bran? Because it’s full of fiber, protein, minerals, and phytonutrients. I think I’m an old person at heart because I really…
Banana Walnut Overnight Oats with Cacao Nibs
For the longest time, I’ve been wanting to try this “overnight oats” business. After stumbling across numerous recipes online lately, I finally took 5 minutes out of my time to try it. If you don’t know, the concoction known as overnight oats (or refrigerator oatmeal) is just a mixture of oats, yogurt and/or milk, and…
Tropical Smoothie with Pineapple and Mango
We’ve been taking full advantage of all the fruit in season lately. It’s one of the best parts of summer, if you ask me. Pineapples, mangos, berries of all sorts, peaches, and so much more—I need all of the things. Now that I know how to tell when fruit is ripe, there’s less disappointment and…
Homemade Pizza Crust
As you may or may not know, Sunday is pizza night for us. 99.9% of the time, we make our own pizza, using my homemade pizza sauce and yeast-free pizza crust recipes, and it’s so friggin easy, guys. I don’t think people realize how easy making your own pizza can actually be, and it is…
Red, White & Blue Popsicles
Happy Pre-4th of July! Aka July 3rd! Aka Independence Day observed! I’m in my happy place because I have the day off of work, which means I can do so many things I never have time for. My plans include working ahead on blog posts, reading my favorite blogs (it’s been so long), preparing a…
Mediterranean Chicken & Veggie Kabobs
As promised on Wednesday in my favorite Mediterranean-inspired dishes, I’m sharing the killer kabob marinade recipe I made earlier this week. Now that we have a grill, I can make way more fun things, such as food on a stick (though I guess you can make it in an oven; it’s just less awesome). I’m…
Strawberry Chocolate Protein Shake
As promised on Wednesday, I’m sharing a protein shake recipe that I whipped together earlier this week out of hanger (that also went along with my Paleo diet experiment). This is a stupid easy recipe and can be made Paleo/vegan/whatever if you’re into that. I used an almond coconut milk blend for the base of…
Two-Ingredient Pancakes
Today is the second day of my diet experiment, and while I’ve only been Paleo for 24 hours, I’m over it. Haha. Apparently I don’t know how to eat without bread, tortillas, chips, crackers, etc. Cutting out dairy, like milk and yogurt, was easier than I thought, but giving up grain has made me sad,…
Pan Seared Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Brussels sprouts: the nemesis of children and many adults everywhere. I remember my dad making brussels sprouts once when I was little, and I couldn’t even get myself to try them because I was so convinced they were the worst thing you could ever taste in your life. Thank God that wore off because now…
How to Make Homemade Breadcrumbs in 5 Minutes
Way back in the day, I shared a pseudo-recipe for an ingredient I like to keep on hand: breadcrumbs. I actually very rarely use breadcrumbs in dishes because I like to use instant oats for things like meatloaf or meatballs. Sometimes, though, oats just can’t do what breadcrumbs can. I’m reviving the old recipe (that…
Watermelon Champagne Cocktail
As of today, there are 43 days until summer. This doesn’t mean a lot to me since 1. I work full-time year round (oh, how I miss those boring summers between school years) and 2. I live in San Diego so most days feel like summer (I’m annoying; I realize). Despite the summer season not…
Smoothie Recipe Roundup
I go through these periods of drinking smoothies constantly, and then not drinking one for months because I get so sick of them. Well I’m happy to finally be back into the smoothie thing and drinking in the benefits (get it?). Whether you’re like smoothies as meal replacements or just a nutritious and tasty snack,…
Antioxidant-Rich Protein Smoothie + Isopure Protein Review
Whether you’re a crazy body builder or just an average joe, protein powder can be a great way to supplement your diet to build muscle or just keep yourself from getting hungry super fast. I recently had the opportunity to try out Isopure-brand whey protein isolate in the form of powder and energy shakes. Today,…
Italian Meatballs Recipe
If I was living by myself and didn’t have a blog, there’s a good chance I wouldn’t cook half as much as I do. Blogging keeps me motivated to try new recipes, and Matt inspires me to try out new dishes so he doesn’t eat mac ‘n cheese and Spaghettios every day (fyi, he’s a…
