Zucchini pasta salad with creamy cashew sauce
Bringing back wacky out-of-the-box salads with this zucchini pasta salad. Even though, let’s be real, they’re around our house pretty much every day 😉 During the summer, I tend to get a little overzealous with the produce options and create some pretty interesting salad combos. Sometimes they’re home runs, and other times, they’re FGO (For…

Light Mojitos with Honey Simple Syrup
Hi! Happy almost-Friday 🙂 Did you know tomorrow is National Mojito Day?? Regarding “food holidays,” I think some are pretty awesome (Chocolate Pudding Day!) and some are kind of boring. Apparently one day last week was National Eat Beans Day. Eat Beans Day?! This is where everyone in my [Hispanic] family (including yours truly) collectively shakes…

Sur La Table dinner at home
Nothing like a Tuesday night fancypants (yet easy!) dinner after a hot barre class. (Hot barre! Not to be confused with the Whole Foods meal, but equally delicious and a rare form of workout torture/triumph.) Ok, and wine too 🙂 Even though it was a little lonely preparing this meal by myself instead of with…

No-Bake Blueberry Jam Bars
I have this grand vision of the (very) distant future: I am an awesome grandma and I always have some type of fresh-baked cookies waiting for visitors in the cookie jar. For now, it’s this random Pyrex dish. Each week, there’s something entirely different for snacking: amazeballs, protein fudge, granola bars, cookies, muffins or whatever…

Berry Lemon Chia Jam
I started a new thing where if we’re out of something, I’ll try to make it from scratch. This doesn’t work for the obvious staples (like eggs. We go through 172 each week), but little things like almond butter and jam. Berry Lemon Chia Seed Jam One night, I was packing Livi’s lunch up for…

Protein pancakes without the protein powder
Hi guys! How’s your morning been? A little later post today. I spent a lot of the am getting ready (aka cramming) for my first practice barre class at the studio where I’ll be teaching. The good news is that we have freedom to design our routines, but we do a set order for each…
