Pesto Chicken Rollatini with Lemon Scented Fusilli
Pesto, like hummus, is something I haven’t ever made myself for some reason. I always just buy it. It seems easy enough to make it, and in doing so I could customize it to exactly the taste I want, but it just hasn’t happened yet. Fortunately, I found a store-bought brand that I just love. […]

Meat Free Monday: Strawberries & Cream Breakfast Quinoa
Hello everyone! I wanted to pop by on this freezing Monday morning and share another recipe with you – one that I mentioned last week. I’ve become a huge fan of quinoa over the past year or so. It’s healthy and versatile, and I love the fact that it’s a meat-free, gluten-free food chock full […]

Key Lime Sorbet – No Ice Cream Maker Needed!
So you know how many of the desserts I post on here are somewhat healthy? Or at least not terrible? Yeah, this sorbet is not one of those. Not at all. But oh my goodness, is it amazing. While I could easily enjoy spoonful after spoonful of it at any given time (like 10:00 am……), […]

Homemade Clif Bars – Cinnamon Raisin
I have been gluten-free for a week already. It totally doesn’t feel like it, which I think is a good thing. 😉 I’ve actually realized that I was eating gluten-free more often than I thought. For example, those homemade chocolate Clif bars I’ve had up on my site for a while are gluten-free, and are […]

Cheesy Quinoa Bake with Spinach
Hello hello! Happy Friday! I just wanted to pop in and share this recipe with you. I mentioned it on Wednesday and promised you all I’d have the recipe up by the weekend. Thanks for holding me to it, Jessie! 😉 This honestly started out as a leftovers dish. We had leftover red meat sauce […]

WIAW + Brownie Batter Pancakes
I normally try very hard not to wish away time. In the grand scheme of things, I don’t have a lot of it, and I like to try and live in the moment and be thankful for what I have every day. However………… This is my last full week of classes (they give us next […]

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie
On Friday I woke up and realized I was getting a cold. My parents and my brother all suffered from that horrible flu that has been going around, and I just assumed I was the next victim of it. While it’s hasn’t escalated too much over the last few days, I do still have an […]

Sugar Cookies + Decorating Ideas
My family has been using the same sugar cookie recipe for years – ever since I can remember, actually. We make the cookies for many different occasions, especially birthdays and Christmas, and always have fun decorating them. I think that’s the best thing about sugar cookies: they’re literally a blank canvas to cut and decorate […]

Easy Key Lime Pie
Happy Saturday! For some reason the weeks have been just flying by for me – which I’m ok with, as it just brings me to another weekend! 🙂 Last weekend, upon the begging request of my dad, I made key lime pie. I’ve made it before using a couple of methods. One is with a […]

WIAW Recipe: Sweet and Sour Veggie Stir Fry
Well, I didn’t end up taking too many pictures of food last week as I was very busy and it just wasn’t top on my priority list. So how does a WIAW recipe sound instead? It’s the most recent of the gazillion I’ve promised you all over the last couple of months, but one of […]
