Buckwheat Pancakes with Berries

Hi all! Happy Friday!!! Seriously, Friday could not have come faster this week. I don’t like to wish time away, but these past couple of days have been very….trying. Sometimes it’s ok to want things to speed along if it means I’m going to enjoy the weekend that much more, right? 😉 I don’t have […]

The Health Benefits of Sweet Potatoes

Good morning everyone, and happy weekend!! I just wanted to stop by and share this article with you all. It was written by Adrienne over at Mercola.com, a website known for their natural health articles. They contacted me asking if I would share a post about the health benefits of sweet potatoes, and I figured, […]

Homemade Applesauce

I used to eat applesauce all the time when I was a kid. Then I kind of got tired of it, and moved on. Now I’ve fallen in love with it again, not only because it’s delicious, but also because it really helps sooth the constant burning in my throat. The more natural a food […]

White Chicken Chili

Good morning, everyone! I hope your Tuesday is off to a great start! I apologize again for my lack of posts. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been dealing with really nasty bouts of acid reflux…again. If you’ve ever had heartburn, you might know that it can be all-consuming, so blogging wasn’t really the first […]

2013

I can’t believe it. Another year has flown by, and we’re moving on to 2014!! That number just looks so weird to me. 2-0-1-4. It makes me feel old. Does anyone else feel that way? (source) To celebrate this past year, I wanted to write down an event or accomplishment of mine from each month […]

Roasted Vegetables with Balsamic Reduction Glaze

Good morning, everyone! I’m posting on a Sunday for the first time in I don’t even know how long, but it’s for a good reason!: Madison’s 12 Days of Allergy-Free Christmas Recipe Roundup! When Madison first mentioned this idea, I was so excited to participate. I love that there is such a huge niche for […]

White Chocolate-Covered Pretzels

Happy Friday, friends! As we speak, I’m sitting at home with Ella on my lap, the Christmas tree lit up, and a warm blanket wrapping me up. It was my plan to go back to the high school today, as my students were going to have a end-of-the-semester party with me, but school was closed […]

Whole Wheat Apple Cider Pancakes

A few days before my birthday (last Saturday…I know, I’m so behind on my posts!), my dad picked up a half gallon of apple cider from the local farmer’s market. We all know that farmer’s markets have some of the best things, but this cider is truly amazing. It’s made from Honeycrisp apples and is […]

Blueberry Brown Sugar Breakfast Quinoa

Hello all! I’m just popping in to share this recipe I mentioned last week. To make it, I used berries that we had gotten from the farmer’s market. Michigan blueberries are the best! 🙂 I love the combination of blueberries and brown sugar, but I don’t like my breakfasts too sweet. Feel free to play […]

Shepherd’s Pie and Oatmeal Gingerbread

Good morning, all! IT’S FRIDAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I love Fridays. They’re fun. 🙂 For today, I want to share three exciting things with you. 1. On Tuesday it was 90*. Last night, we had frost. This rollercoaster of temperatures has really made it feel like autumn all of a sudden. I’m not totally ok with it yet, […]
