Lately i’ve been eating about a can of chickpeas a day. I don’t know what it is, they’re just so good. Even though I like them raw, I realllllllllly like them roasted/grilled. Roasted chickpeas are a great addition to any dish. Because of that, this salad is the perfect mix of everything. Spinach, rated as […]

Cauli-fried rice. Sounds weird, right? Whenever people first hear of cauliflower rice they don’t really understand it. How can cauliflower taste like rice? It’s actually so much easier than you think. Once the cauliflower is chopped and mixed for a bit in a food processor, the consistency turns almost exactly like white or brown rice. […]

Make these. Now, okay? There’s just something that I adore about having a cold treat on a hot day. Honestly, I don’t even care what it is, as long as it’s cold. I love ice-cream, popsicles, sorbet, frozen fruit, and most importantly, smoothies. No matter what it is kind of frozen treat it is, I […]

Make Your Own Monthly Calendar – DIY Things you will need clipboard (I got this one for $1 at Walmart) a printer (or just somewhere you can print – library, school, office, etc.) 12 sheets of paper (or card stock) That’s it! Soo easy right? Personally, as much as I love to utilize everything my iPhone has […]

Honestly, oatmeal gets such a bad rep. Most people I talk to are convinced that it is boring, bland, and tastes like dirt. Even though it kills me when people have a bad opinion on it, I was definitely guilty of thinking that at one point. Before I started eating oatmeal frequently two years ago, I […]

I looooooove bliss balls. I’m such a fan of anything cute, little, and snacky. I know most people think snacking is bad, but I totally disagree. When you’re snacking on ridiculously tasty caramel balls packed with nutrients, what could be the problem with that? I also really enjoy any recipe that I can pop in […]

I never realized how much I like popcorn until last year. When I thought of popcorn, I only thought of one kind: movie theater popcorn. The kind that is soo delicious but insanely buttery? Yeah, you know what i’m talking about. Sadly, that kind of popcorn always hurt my stomach, and it’s not topped with […]

I feel like brussels sprouts get a really bad rep. I remember when I was younger, I used to associate them with the worst food possible. When I got older however, I decided to give them another try. I’m honestly so thankful I did, because they are SO good. Currently, they are my most favorite vegetable. I […]

Warm carmel apple cinnamon oats :’) Everything about that is perfect, isn’t it? Apple cinnamon is a combination I’ll never get bored of. Something about it is just so comforting and always reminds me of fall. These oats take less than 5 minutes to make, AND beat the heck out of having to make breakfast […]

These pancakes are pure bliss. They remind me of lazy, carefree mornings. Doesn’t that sound nice? Honestly though, these are super tasty. They’re soft, moist, fluffy, and packed full of nutrients. These pancakes are a sure fire crowd pleaser. They take very minimal time to make, and have a very basic flavor that everyone will […]

These peanut butter cups are the ULTIMATE dessert. They are rich, creamy, decadent, fudgey, and all around delicious. Chocolate, peanut butter, sweetness, what more could you ever ask for? Even though I could eat Reese’s for days on end, with these I am satisfied after one. They completely full-fill any dessert craving you may have, […]

Let’s take a minute and talk about these pancakes. I’m 100% certain that they are the best things I’ve ever eaten. They actually make you feel like you’re eating a pile of Reese’s for breakfast. Is there anyone who wouldn’t want that? Even though the process of making them is a little time consuming, it […]

If you haven’t made your own popsicles before, I suggest you start now 🙂 Popsicles are healthy, easy to make, ridiculously cost efficient, and a super tasty treat. All of those things are awesome, right? Even though i’d regularly go for a fudge bar over something fruity, lemon is a nice, refreshing change of pace. These popsicles are […]

Bacon, Egg and Cheese (mcdonalds healthified!) Yields: One Sandwhich 2 pieces of whole grain bread (I like natures own 60 cal bread) 2 slices of turkey bacon 1/2 cup of liquid egg whites low fat cheese (I use Cabot 75% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese because it’s naturally lactose free) First, pour your egg whites […]

Whenever I used to read about overnight oats, I never saw the appeal. Something about cold oats just never seemed right to me. The first time I made them, I was very skeptical. When I tried them however, my opinion was instantly turned around. The beauty of overnight oats is that there is no real […]

These protein balls are a delicious, any time snack. They take less than 10 minutes to make, and even less time to eat 😉 They’re awesome broken up into oatmeal, smothered in dark chocolate, or eaten by themselves. The minimal ingredients makes the prep, and clean up super easy. Also, since everything is combined in […]

Strawberry shortcake is definitely my favorite dessert aside from red velvet cake. There’s just something about strawberry flavor that I’ve always been so into. I have so many fond memories of getting strawberry icecream, and my mother looking down on me because it wasn’t chocolate. I know chocolate is a flavor that every girl is […]

So apparently today is national chocolate chip day. I was very excited about this, because who doesn’t love chocolate chips? This creation came about because I had to use up some tofu in my fridge, and wanted to eat some chocolate (everyday). This is super tasty and filling. The tofu supplies this mousse with tons […]

Who doesn’t love a good protein bar? They’re great to bring on the go, as well as tasty, quick, and filling. When I realized that I finished 3 boxes of Quest Bars in an embarrassingly short amount of time, I figured I should make some of my own protein bars to fill the void. Though […]

Everybody knows strawberries and chocolate are one of the best combinations. Even though they’re so simple to make, I thought i’d share what I used to make them. They’re a great snack for when you’re craving something short and sweet. Yields : 15 chocolate covered strawberries 1 cup of chocolate chips or a chocolate bar […]
