My life is so beautifully chaotic right now. So much joy and so much mess. Typing blog posts with a wee one snuggling on my belly while white noise blasts. Scarfing down one of these Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowls and then frantically trying to shower before the baby starts screaming again. Listening to audio…

Easy Weeknight Huevos Rancheros
This easy weeknight Huevos Rancheros dish that I am sharing with you today isn’t really a recipe, more of an idea. It’s so easy and quick that it’s more just a pile of ingredients. I need recipes like these huevos rancheros now more than ever. Meals that I can quickly throw together and that don’t…
Pitaya (Dragonfruit) Smoothie Bowl from Fresh Dragonfruit
During the month of January, I did a 30 day eating challenge, where I cut out sugar, grains, meat, most dairy, and processed food. I allowed myself a few sharp cheeses, Greek yogurt, and some natural sugar when used in savory meals. I ate vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, and eggs. I did this…

Sweet Potato and Mushroom Hash
This Sweet Potato and Mushroom Hash recipe came about when I was in need of something to go with my breakfast-for-dinner Savory Whole Wheat Waffles Topped with Fried Eggs. I felt like I needed to add some more veg to the meal. And when the chill in the air makes its way into my home,…
Savory Whole Wheat Waffles with Fried Eggs and Avocado
I’m on a massive runny yolk kick. I refused to eat an egg with a runny yolk for twenty six years of my life. My egg would always be squashed flat on the pan cooking a good two minutes longer than my husbands. Then one day I took my sister out for breakfast to a…
Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Peach Short Cakes with Cinnamon Mascarpone Whipped Cream
Is there anything better than fresh, ripe, juicy peaches? Perhaps only one thing is better: fresh, ripe, juicy peaches stuffed between warm brown sugar and cinnamon biscuits with clouds of cinnamon mascarpone whipped cream. I found some glorious peaches for 50 cents a pound and I just could not resist buying tons of them. I…
