Creamy Banana Chia Pudding Bowls
Years ago, my best friend and I somehow managed to line up childcare for all five of our babies (between the two of us!) and sneak out for a moms’ lunch. And honestly? That alone was reason enough to celebrate. Back then, getting out of the house without a diaper bag felt like a national…

Veggie Frittata

Mediterranean Quinoa Salad
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you know I’m a fan of all things quinoa salad. It’s high in protein, fiber and antioxidants – a triple whammy! Basically, if I like an ingredient – any ingredient – it’s going to eventually end up mixed up with some quinoa. Quinoa salads are my go-to,…

Mini “Donuts” with Greek Yogurt “Frosting”
It’s crazy I haven’t wrote a post since May. Between pregnancy exhaustion and newborn life, we’ve been surviving off meal trains, granola bars and door dash.

Gluten Free Beef and Broccoli
For the most part, I don’t really mind being Gluten Free. When I was first diagnosed as having a gluten intolerance, it was tough. I had never even heard of gluten and didn’t understand why I couldn’t enjoy my favorite products. I used to make a 45 minute drive to a specialty grocery store, once…

I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream! This week has been HOT in Southern California. Excessively hot! In fact, they just issued an excessive heat warning in Orange County through 10pm tonight! Odd, since tomorrow it is forecasted to rain. On top of the heat, Ryder has a little cold so I…

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Please tell me I’m not the only one who can’t manage their household banana inventory!! One week we will through 15 bananas and the next, one bunch of bananas will sit on the counter without being touched all week, while slowly developing those black spots I call yummy freckles (because I love mushy, overripe bananas).…
