Sweet potato toast

Bread is one of the things I’ve learned I shouldn’t eat as regularly as I’d like (as in, every meal, and for snacks in between). I used to eat bread at almost every meal. Carbs are our friends. You know, like those friends that you

Mom’s Chicken Soup

My mom’s chicken soup is near and dear to my heart. It has warmed me up on cold days, cured my colds on sick days, and always leaves me with a sweet little feeling of nostalgia. Food is powerful like that, people. Especially home cooked food

Three Ingredient Pancakes

Bananas + cinnamon + eggs = pancakes? Yup. That is what I’m telling you. Three ingredient pancakes. Okay, I guess there are technically five+ ingredients because you need coconut oil and either almond butter or maple syrup. But regardless, these

Banana Nut Bread

Banana nut bread is one of those foods that brings back fun childhood memories for me. I used to love when my mom would make her banana nut bread because it would fill the house with such a wonderful scent as it baked. As soon as the temperatures drop,

This chocolate smoothie recipe quickly became one of my favorites. It’s sweet enough to satisfy my chocolate cravings, but is also loaded with super foods and protein so it keeps me full until my next meal. I had this smoothie for breakfast every

Skinny Moscow Mule

I absolutely love Moscow Mules. They are so refreshing and so simple to make. This is a skinny version of a Moscow Mule, which is how I have been making mine for quite a while now. I stopped drinking beer a little over a year ago, so I use kombucha
