Healthy Chocolate Sauce
Things have been very savory on ye ol’ blog lately. I can’t even remember the last time I posted a sweet recipe! Please accept this as a token of apology. I was thinking about a chocolate sundae ALL morning yesterday. Usually after teaching Zumba, my thought process looks something like the following: -That was SOOOOOO…

Mini Goat Cheese Chili Relleno Casseroles
Hi 🙂 Catching up from the long weekend? I ran my first postpartum half marathon. I’m wicked sore, but am happy to be back in the game. Thank you again for all of the wonderful birthday wishes, too! Chili rellenos were never my favorite Mexican dish. If I was going to have Mexican, which was…

Quinoa Trail Mix Muffins
Sometimes I pretend to know things that I do not… but only when I’m talking to the Pilot. “Turn left here!” “Are you sure?” “YES! Ok… no, not really.” This is partially because I like to mess with him, and also partially because when I tell him things that are indeed fact, he asks me…

Homemade Almond Milk + flavor variations
I’ve never been a huge fan of drinking milk plain. Even when I was younger, if it wasn’t colored and flavored with the Cocoa Puffs I was eating, I wasn’t a huge fan. I’ve remained that way with milk, until I met almond variety. To me, it tastes so much lighter and milder than the…

Spicy almond butter kale chips
Not really, but 8 was my limit for the day. I had all of the odds in my favor (beautiful weather, gorgeous scenery, woke up on my own before the alarm went off), but it was a tough run. Sabino kills me every time, and I had to add an extra little loop at the…

Vegan stuffed pattypan squash
There are a lot of things I love about my husband. He takes such great care of Liv and myself (just when I thought I couldn’t be crazier about him, he became a daddy), works extremely hard, looks verrrrryyyy nice in a flight suit… and so many other things that I could go on and…

Amazeballs flavor variations
I’m pretty sure there’s nothing in the world that’s more adorable than a table full of babies in their diapers painting pumpkins. Before Liv was born, I used to have groups of friends over all the time, at least once a week. I love cooking for others and entertaining, but since Liv has been here,…

Candy Corn Popcorn
As soon as I mentioned doing a candy corn popcorn recipe for the blog, the Pilot was hooked. “Hey… so… um, when do you think you’ll be making that recipe?” “Which one?” “That one you mentioned the other day… it sounds really good.” I think he was hoping I’d make it while he was home…

Pumpkin Amazeballs
These pumpkin protein balls are the perfect seasonal healthy snack! They pack a punch of protein and healthy fat in delicious dessert-like bites. It was a low-key, laid back day- everything a holiday should be. Got the Bob tire fixed (!) took it for a spin at the dog park lunch at Chippodle (my fave…

How to Use an Entire Pumpkin: Seeds to Skin!
I didn’t necessarily start out seeking to make use of an entire pumpkin from seeds to skin, but the idea kicked in somewhere after starting to make Liv some baby food and midway through consuming a voluptuous glass of Malbec and a lot of gluten-free crackers. 🙂 And then this happened! The Pilot was flying Monday…

Cranberry avocado salad
It’s rare for me to have a case of the moan-days, since I love being able to spend the day with Liv. We’ll do the usual thing (play, read books, go on a fun adventure. meet up with friends or just take it easy) and yesterday, I only had one thing in mind that I…

Apple tart for one
Yesterday, I got to teach the Tabata class at work. My friend, who has it every week, is recovering from a triathlon and said, “Hey Gina, will you teach today?” Um, is the Pope Catholic? Even though I’m not new to Tabata, the class is very structured with specific moves for each round and recovery…
