It’s Saturday morning, and I’m sitting on my patio sipping coffee and dreaming about breakfast. Most of my meals start off this way, with an idea percolating in the back of my mind.

Last week my mom sent me a recipe from The Kitchn for Overnight Oat Cookies. She wanted me to play around with the ingredients to see if I could find a healthier alternative, because I have to say, those cookies are not breakfast friendly, despite the author’s claims. Instead of using a cup and a […]
If you’re already feeling a little off balance this year, you’re not alone! I’ve been struggling with focusing, I have zero clue what day it is, and don’t even get me started on my sleep. So, per usual, I’m doing my best to listen to my body, and really take things day by day. One […]

Clearly I have an oat obsession. And I’m ok with that. These oat flour carrot cake muffins are sugar-free, gluten-free, flour-free, dairy-free, but still DELICIOUS. Usually when a recipe is so restrictive, I think, oh great, these sound like boring cardboard. But hang in there, because you are in for a treat with these oat […]
I woke up starving, as usual, and craving pancakes, as usual. But when I started getting out ingredients, I realized I was out of eggs! Not good. I wanted to create a filling breakfast that was healthy, flavorful, and not just milk and flour. These vegan zucchini banana pancakes have mashed banana, and grated zucchini, […]
It has arrived. Pumpkin spice in all its glory. I know everyone tends to go a bit bonkers for their pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cake, the list is endless, and for good reason. These flourless protein pumpkin spice bars are heaven in your mouth, and these fall flavors are the first […]
