Pesto is one of those flavors that adds so much to anything it’s added to – a sandwich, salad dressing, pasta salad, pasta – anything! With that said, you don’t need a ton of it to get the flavor across and that’s where the idea came along to bulk it up with greek yogurt! I…

Blueberry Walnut Oatmeal
There’s something so comforting about oatmeal on a rainy day – and Monday was one of those as you can see in this picture! Although, I can’t complain – I really needed to do some spring cleaning/organizing and it’s so much easier to do with weather like that! This is one of my favorite oatmeal…
Mini Marinara Turkey Meatloaves
Meatloaf sometimes gets a bad reputation, but I’m here to change that (or try to anyways)! My mom always made it for us growing up and then we’d bring it for lunch as cold sandwiches, so good – although I remember getting some looks at the school lunch table ha! I made this recipe in…
Sweet Potato Kale Egg Bake
Egg bakes just scream BRUNCH, don’t they?? I love them for so many reasons! You can make them in advance, you can’t mess them up, they feed a crowd, work for vegetarians (assuming no meat goes in) and are SO inexpensive with eggs being the main protein source. Have I convinced you yet?? White potatoes…
Sunday Meal Prep – Week 6
It’s that time of the week, Sunday Meal Prep! I hope your Sunday is sunnier than here in London – although it makes it easier to stay inside and cook all morning! Lots of great things on the menu this week – I hope you get a chance to make some of these sometime soon!…
Kiwi Walnut Oatmeal Muffins
If you are one of those people that avoids muffins because they are “bad” for you, this recipe will make you think again! What makes a muffin a “muffin” is the shape, that’s really it and as long as they are comprised of healthy ingredients – what’s not to like?!? You’ll notice that my muffin…
Passion Fruit Oatmeal
I was in Mexico with my family the first time I ever tried passion fruit. I was immediately hooked and ate about 20 of them every day until we headed back home! My mom tried so hard to find them where we lived in CT but none of the stores sold them at the time….
Mango Green Smoothie
When I first started the blog, one of my best friends sent me her favorite “smoothie-of-the-moment” and that’s what inspired this one! I was meaning to make the smoothie exactly how she did – and I’m sure it would’ve been amazing – but I forgot to order a few key ingredients, so this (delicious) alternative…
Homemade Applesauce
Applesauce really wasn’t on my radar until I started doing more baking and wanted to use healthier ingredients to replace oils, butters, etc. Now that I make my own every so often, I remember how delicious it is and the best part is it’s SO simple to make! If I have leftover apples, I’ll whip…
Strawberries ‘n’ Cream Oatmeal Bake
Strawberries and cream is one of those combinations that just sounds delicious, doesn’t it?? As you can tell, strawberries are the fruit of the week and I’m finding so many amazing ways to use them – same as I did with pineapples last week! I hope you give this recipe a try – adding the…
Sunday Meal Prep – Week 5
I can’t believe this is the fifth week of the blog, which also means it is week 5 of SMP! I hope you are enjoying the recipes and prep ideas as much as I’m enjoying creating them! The dogs woke up at 6am this morning and were ready to GO – I could’ve used a…
Japanese Carrot Ginger Dressing
When I go out to sushi, I always look forward to the orange dressing on the salad – I KNOW you know what I’m talking about! It’s that vibrant color and the tangy, sweet flavor that is such a great starter to any Japanese meal. I’d always wanted to make it at home but so…
