I absolutely love citrus flavors (you are probably already noticing that or will soon!) – they add such nice flavor and brightness and are so easy and cheap to find! I normally just do honey mustard chicken but was getting a bit sick of that combination and decided to do a lemon/orange version – mainly…

Avocado Lime Corn Salsa
Is there anything avocados can’t fix/solve/do? I just love them! This week I made shrimp tacos and was debating a mango/avocado salsa (recipe to come shortly) after my college roommate convinced me to start using mango more often but I had to go with a corn version (because I had corn in the pantry). Luckily,…
Double Berry Pecan Oatmeal Bake
As much as I love oatmeal, sometimes even 10 extra minutes before work is too much time to spare on breakfast. An alternative is an oatmeal bake – basically an oatmeal casserole – and they are the perfect solution and last all week when kept in the fridge. Just portion out a piece each morning…
Raspberry Lemon Smoothie
This smoothie is the exact color of bubble gum – so pretty! I had this as an afternoon snack on Sunday and it absolutely hit the spot. I normally use bananas in my green smoothies to help mask the bitter flavor of the greens, but without the greens I just used raspberries as the base…
Sunday Meal Prep – Week 3
As promised, I’ll always post a picture of what I make for the week to hopefully give you inspiration on some things you could make ahead of time before the craziness of Monday hits! Here’s what I made this week: Breakfast – Double Berry Oatmeal Bake – served with greek yogurt or nut butter Lunch…
Banana Bread/Carrot Cake Oatmeal
I had full intentions of making banana bread oatmeal this morning, but after getting samples of carrot cake in the market yesterday, I went rogue and combined the two. The final product is so delicious! As with any oats recipe, it’s not rocket science – feel free to add/subtract anything that you do or don’t…
London Market-ing: Borough
One of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday morning is at a London market. Every neighborhood has some semblance of a street market and then there are the bigger ones, like Borough. Some people have fallen out of love with Borough because it is so touristy and crowded, but that’s part of what I…
My experience living abroad
To be honest, living abroad is pretty close to what I thought it was going to be – in a good way. The move was more stressful than any other part of it, but moving headaches aren’t particular to international relocations – moving is horrible even if it’s just down the street! There was a…
Citrus Creamsicle Smoothie
This smoothie came together very quickly, but turned out fantastic! The color doesn’t do it justice, you’ll just have to try it for yourself. While I love putting greens in my smoothies, sometimes you want something a little creamier and decadent for the weekend. This fit the bill perfectly! Here’s how you make it (2…
Chocoloate Chunk (Chickpea) Blondies
I was always skeptical of people who baked with beans. Why put something like that into a dessert? It just seemed odd. However, I have since changed my tune after this recipe and I think you might too. You may have to omit telling people what’s in them until after they try them (like I…
