Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I've been doing some late night scrolling on TikTok ... who hasn't? Ha! I kept coming across videos with users making overnight oats and this version of Strawberry Cheesecake had me wanting to try it. I haven't made overnight oats in awhile as I've been intermittent fasting for a couple years. I'm on a little… Continue reading Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
One of the my goals is this year is to reduce our meals based on meat and to incorporate more vegan or plant-based meals. I figured a soup was a good way to start testing the waters with my family. This soup was really good and full of flavor. It was fulfilling soup and even… Continue reading Pinto Bean Tortilla Soup
I've been wanting to make a lemon recipe for a couple weeks and have been debating between several recipes. After seeing lemon loaf while picking up a coffee at Starbucks, I knew this was the recipe I would settle on. It definitely did not disappoint. It was so good. The loaf is packed full of… Continue reading Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf
It's been awhile since I made a batch of muffins with a new recipe. I've been sticking with my usual banana muffin recipe, but my kids asked me for chocolate ones.

My Instant Pot has not seen much action lately, so I figured I would break it out and try a new recipe. I'm so glad I did. I loved this recipe for Honey Garlic Chicken.

We're big fans for brussels sprouts and I'm always looking for ways to change up enjoying them. I usually shred them and saute and finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and shaved Parmesan. We do enjoy them roasted as well, but I wasn't in the mood to turn my oven to roast them ...… Continue reading Smashed Air Fryer Brussels
There's nothing more decadent dip to go with a crisp apple. I had some extra large Pink Lady apples that needed to be eaten, so I looked through my refrigerator and pantry to see what I could make. I found a recipe for a dip that only need five ingredients and I had everything -… Continue reading Cinnamon Brown Sugar Dip
It's been a while since I made a batch of granola. I picked up a bag of hemp hearts the other day at Costco - I read they're really a great source of protein and are packed full of healthy fats. I have never had them before, but figured it would be a good addition… Continue reading Hemp Heart Granola
I'm working on cleaning out my fridge and freezer as I prepare for another round of e2M. One year ago, I decide to take control of my health and start an 8-week rapid transformation program. It was a great start to 2021 and I find myself at another place that I need to recommit to… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Bread
