“I’m just a girl sitting in front of a sweet potato pie bite wishing it was a donut hole.” A smart-alecky comment made by my husband as I was photographing these little delights. While these may look like donut holes, in my opinion, they are waaay better. Not only do they taste amazing, there’s a… Continue reading Sweet Potato Pie Bites
For years now, my big food obsession has been smoothies. I love that you can pack so many nutrients into one delicious drink that you can enjoy at home or on the go. Everett and I are always out and about – whether at the park, library, hike, or workout class – and this is… Continue reading Smoothie Bowls
Lately, our little guy has been waking up and immediately asking to eat breakfast. If I take the time to make a veggie scramble or stovetop oatmeal, he gets antsy and I end up giving him something to hold him over – banana, dried figs, raisins – which end up spoiling his breakfast that I’ve… Continue reading Overnight Oats {hot!}
For the longest time, I had been wanting to make homemade almond milk to replace our store-bought variety. With all of this cold weather that we have been experiencing (and by cold I mean 45 degree mornings), we’ve been eating a lot of oatmeal for breakfast. I couldn’t think of anything better to top… Continue reading Almond Milk
A few weekends ago, we had some friends visiting from out of town. We had tossed around the idea of going out to brunch but with a toddler around, going out for a meal at a restaurant is far from enjoyable these days. We decided to invite our friends over to our place instead, that… Continue reading Sweet Potato Quiche

Beet leaves, which are also edible, contain calcium, iron, and vitamins A and C. Eating beets stimulates the liver, which aids… Continue reading Beet Smoothie
Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year. Maybe it’s because it begins during my birthday month or perhaps it’s because of the crisp air, cool breezes, and changing leaves. Regardless, the cooler weather makes me want to be outside all of the time, while enjoying hot coffee and pumpkin bread. As Halloween approaches,… Continue reading Pumpkin Oat Pancakes
Sunshine: It makes everything gleam and glisten. The world feels like a happier place when it rises up over the horizon and shines through the trees. Flowers open and point toward the light, lizards come out to sun on the eaves of homes, ducks waddle about searching for bugs in the grass, and children play in… Continue reading Coconut Milk Popsicles
Homemade coconut flour crepes used to be our brunch of choice on the weekends that I didn’t work. It was definitely a labor of love trying to get the exact consistency for the batter, pouring the precise amount into a crepe pan that was just the right temperature, and then finally flipping them delicately. We… Continue reading Almond Flour Dutch Baby
When we first moved to Texas, I will admit there weren’t many things that I was excited about. There aren’t mountains, there aren’t any nearby places to hike or camp, the air is humid, there are tornadoes… The list goes on. However, in the middle of this big city, I came to find that there… Continue reading Bone Broth
