New Ballz and Snack Links
It’s about time I expanded my amazeball horizons. I’ve been brainstorming snack ideas that I can have in the fridge, grab and eat, and couldn’t believe how long it had been since I had an amazeball. They’re a great dose of healthy fat and protein- 2 usually does the trick for me. Instead of making…

Slow cooker applesauce
Every morning when I wake up, and every night before bed, I burn a few candles. It’s a calming thing, and I think it makes the house smell so lovely. (Fresh Balsam from Bath and Body Works is my holiday candle obsession… I have 4 of the large ones dispersed around the house, as well…

The best kale chips
Mystery #1: Our lime/orange/grapefruit tree. When we first moved in, I was convinced that they were limes. Then they turned orange and are now splitting open. A fruit mystery, fo sho. Mystery #2: Our dehydrator is broken. You see, things go in… but they never come out. They just disappear. The most recent disappearing act:…

Stuffed bell peppers
I got to see the sunrise this morning. While I’m not a morning person in the least –I usually wake up around 6:45 or 7, but don’t turn into a human until at least 8- it was surprising to discover that I actually liked waking up so early today. I’m not going to make…

Chili Lime Pumpkin Seeds
Last night was pumpkin carving at our house, fabulous company and quite possibly the most random and festive snacks. Grilled corn on the cob, from the farmer’s market and prepared by the Grillmaster himself hot apple cider (also from the farmer’s market, spiced up with cinnamon and nutmeg) and pie. Told you it was random…

Nori Nachos
I could pretend that we did SO much today. But really: we didn’t. It’s funny because we weren’t lazy at all, but still didn’t manage to get a ton of stuff done. NBD, since I got to enjoy the day with the Pilot, instead of frantically running around like I usually do on Mondays 🙂…

Reader’s Request: Fave Quinoa Uses
Morning! It’s almost the weekend! Kind of stoked 🙂 The chipotle black bean soup was actually a success, even though I went a little cray cray with the chiles. [Recipe is in the Canyon Ranch Nourish cookbook. I added 2 chipotle chiles instead of 1/2 t, and also a whole head of garlic.. because if…

Perfect Mexican rice
Hi friends 😀 How’s your night going? It’s Fiesta Friday over here! Nothing too cray cray… just me, Senor Pilot, Bell, and a boatload of Mexican food 🙂 Today, the cooking bug hit me pretty ferociously and we both agreed that fish tacos sounded amazing. I hit up Trader Joe’s to pick up the goods,…

Baller Banana Bread
Morning friends! The weekend is in sight! I can taste it… and it tastes delicious 😉 Any fun plans coming up? This morning, I made a quick smoothie (almond milk, Sun Warrior, spinach, frozen organic berries, banana, cacao powder) and a sandwich to take to work: I still have to pack up my snacks and…

Hi friends! Happy Monday! Hope your morning is treating you well <3 We had quite a feast last night, and I have a new love: goat cheese-stuffed squash blossoms. When we picked up the squash blossoms at the farmer’s market yesterday, I had a good idea of what they were destined for, but after a…
