Do you tend to have a love/hate relationship with big, green salads? Maybe veering towards the hate side? Like when you've decided you're going to start eating healthier, and you proudly choose the salad option instead of the big, greasy cheeseburger with those sweet potato fries that you love so much. But you secretly really want the … Continue reading Triple Threat Mixed Berry & Chicken Salad
The last few weeks have been jam-packed with nonstop activities! In April, we celebrated my little sister's 25th birthday, Matt was a groomsman in a wedding, we went to a three day country music festival in southern California called Stagecoach, and best of all...I picked up and moved myself back to wine country in good … Continue reading Roasted Cabbage Wedges
It's 11:11am on the last day of 2014 as I'm writing this post, and reflecting on such an eventful year. I remember this time last year, and all the resolutions and goals I had made for 2014. Some stuck, and some didn't, and everything turned out a-okay. The year was filled with happiness, sadness, excitement, struggle, … Continue reading Kalamata Turkey Meatballs & Closing Out 2014
My last post focused on a a few things we love about the fall season. It's hard not to love such a beautiful time of year! The change of colors, the holidays, pumpkin spiced everything, and snuggling in front of a warm fire on a cold night. But there's just one teensy, tinsy, aspect of this … Continue reading Thai Green Curry Soup
Pssst...Fall is fast approaching, can you tell? Gyms are empty, cans of pureed pumpkin are scarce, and women everywhere are like, "I just wanna bake. And did you hear the pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks is SO bad for you? Me too. Let's get on Pinterest and make our own." <source> It's a freaking epidemic, guys. … Continue reading Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats
This post is dedicated to two things - Costco and thighs. And by thighs, I mean chicken thighs. But first, let's talk about Costco. The place is amazing, like... <image source> Am I right, or am I right? Once you get hooked, you never go back! Costco is a godsend for stocking up on household … Continue reading Pollo en Salsa de Tomate (Chicken in Tomato Sauce)
I've been in bed for the past 34 hours and let me tell you it's been [mostly] glorious. Before we get all judge-y, I had minor gum tissue graft surgery yesterday because my genetics are all screwed up (thanks Mom and Dad!), which has landed me in this position of acceptable laziness. I won't get into … Continue reading Curried Sweet Potato-Apple Soup
Happy Monday folks! This will be a short post, but I'm a woman of my word! As promised, here is the recipe for the fun and fruity fish dish (say that 5 times fast) posted on my Instagram a week or so back. This was made originally as a primal dish, as it includes ghee … Continue reading Primal Style Wild Tilapia & Mango Chili Salsa
The inspiration behind this post is pretty comical. About a week or so back, I was hanging out at home with one of my roommates, John. We were starving, so I offered to make a quick dinner for the both of us. It had been a beautiful day and I was in the mood for … Continue reading Simple Pulled Pork & Tomato-Citrus Slaw
In case you haven't heard, Taco Tuesday is practically a holiday. It really doesn't matter where you're at, some taquería or local restaurant is boasting of 'the best tacos in town!' (Taco Bell DOES NOT count - don't even get me started). When it comes down to it, everyone loves tacos, period. You just can't … Continue reading Taco Tuesday – Kickin’ Chili Steak Tacos
