Farro and Kale Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette

Hello foodies! It has been a LONG time since my last post - it feels good to be back! I’ve been busy in my dietetic internship on my way to becoming a Registered Dietitian (whoo!). I’ll officially be done at the end of March, which means more […]

Kale Flower Salad

“Flowers in a salad??” you might ask. These delicate, slightly sweet flowers add a pop of color and flavor to your hardy green salad. My kale plant has grown quite large in the past few years, but this is the first year that it has bloomed. […]

Scottish Oat Scones and a Pause

My Friday morning ritual involves a bitter cappuccino paired with a sweet and flaky Scottish oat scone. In my current work situation I do a lot of grocery shopping at my local food coop (PCC Natural Markets), so I like to treat myself on Friday mornings after my shopping. […]

Apple Pie with a Twist

I have had a craving for a classic apple pie for weeks, so I finally hunkered down for an evening of baking. I should start off by saying that I am a crust person. There are two types of people - crust people and filling […]

Mesquite Cornbread Muffins

Breakfast For Dinner: Waffle Edition

While doing my weekly meal planning on Sunday, I asked my boyfriend if he had any ideas. I’ve pretty much been living out of my America’s Test Kitchen vegetarian cookbook lately, so I decided to branch out for a night. And what does he suggest? Waffles! I […]

Stir-Fried Zucchini with Farro

Summertime and 80 degree weather calls for sandals, iced-coffee, and the farmers market! This past Sunday I made a trip to the market for a delicious veggie quesadilla that I had been dreaming about and couldn’t help but pick up a few items to take […]

Curried Lentil Soup

America’s Test Kitchen has done it again! This is an easy and nutritious meal for any time of the year. I came down with a summer cold, so had a hankering for some hot soup. This recipe stuck out to me because it is fairly quick, […]

Sautéed Green Beans with Smoked Paprika and Almonds

It’s official, I’m obsessed with my America’s Test Kitchen Vegetarian cookbook. Every recipe so far has been a success. It’s been a while since my last post! I started a new job, which has been consuming my energy, but I think it’s time to get back to […]
