meatless monday | wild rice frittata with mushrooms & leeks
breakfast, especially in an elaborate sense, is not something that happens here too often. the man gets up in enough time to make himself a smoothie & catch a little espn before work. but me? i hit snooze as many times as possible, grab something as i run out the door & eat it later. [...]
life changing oatmeal
so this recipe has a lot to live up to with a title like that, right?but i swear it does. the first time i had it {thanks jenny!}, i was so blown away that i launched into a full blown hunt for pumpkin. in may. i was unsuccessful in that hunt, but fortunately this oatmeal [...]
pumpkin granola bars

fall is finally here. which is strange to say, because just a little over a week ago, it still felt like summer. so with the chilly mornings finally here, i wanted something a little more than the usual greek yogurt & granola for breakfast. something a little seasonal, a little heartier, a little warmer, but [...]

blueberry banana oatmeal cups
i really, really wanted to make these this past weekend. BUT. a lady at the grocery store, who must have heard me talking, beat me over to the discounted produce section, picked up the very last bag of ripe bananas, AND PUT THEM IN HER CART. i almost tackled her. INSTEAD, i shot her a [...]
mango peach smoothie
august + nc = 100 degree days is H.O.T. outside, and that is a rare thing for me to say, since I am freezing most of the time. Oh, not today. For the better part of my college years, I worked at a smoothie shop. I had smoothies just about every day for 3 years. [...]
