If you ever find yourself struggling to decide where to go on vacation, let me make things easy for you. Go to Thailand. Sure, it’s a pain to get to being on the other side of the world and all, but that really shouldn’t stop you. They have these things called airplanes now that make the whole experience…
One of my absolute favorite side effects of marathon training is that raw hunger you can only really feel after you’ve given everything you’ve got to a workout. After a workout like that, my body is far past the point of gently nudging me in the direction of the fridge with maybe a softly encouraging, “hey friend, we…
Growing up, I always appreciated the tradition of holiday foods like turkey and mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving and ham and potato salad on Easter. The idea behind them was great, the only problem was I didn’t actually enjoy the food all that much. Every year the meals seemed like too much work for it to actually be worth…
Let me just start off by saying I am a pizza crust purist. I think if you choose to make your pizza crust out of something like cauliflower or zucchini instead of flour, you’re truly missing out on one of the more beautiful things in life. However, if you and gluten don’t get along or you don’t have…
Move over every other salad ever, tahini granola and blood orange salad has arrived. This salad… It’s crunchy, creamy, sweet, tart, savory, filling, and wonderful. It’s everything you want a salad to be, I promise. Plus, the granola is tasty both on and off the salad, which is how granola should be. This recipe makes a little extra…
OH my goodness. Dark chocolate granola bark, where have you been all my life? I should have figured out this combination long ago. Dark chocolate: Good. Granola: Good. Together: A beautiful symphony. Perfect for a snack or dessert, dark chocolate granola bark has your back. It’s perfectly sweet and crunchy and each bite is different from the last.…
Fun fact: I used to hate quinoa. The texture was just too weird. I think I was eating it wrong or something because now I willingly eat it every day. You can even eat it for breakfast, how crazy is that?? This flavor combo comes from a smoothie I drank in Thailand. I drank a lot of smoothies…
Totally delicious and totally vegan, these waffle sandwiches are just sweet enough to satisfy a craving, but not too sweet to send you into a sugar coma. I chose chocolate waffles over cookies because when frozen, they’re easier on the mouth. Also, it’s easier to eat things that are triangle-shaped in my opinion. AND you could totally pass…
Not gonna lie, I was a little surprised by how great this sandwich turned out. All the flavors worked together like they had known each other all their lives. The sandwich was creamy, full of flavor, and just the right amount of sweet. I used sprouted grain bread, but if you’re looking for something more substantial (like post-long…
Fajita bowls not for the faint of heart. Honestly, these bowls could probably serve 3-4, but they were created with hungry people in mind. There are a decent amount of components to this dish to maximize flavor and nutrients, but it’s still completely manageable. I recommend cooking the rice, chicken, beans, and fajita mix a few days before. you…
