Tex-Mex Veggie Bowls

Hello, all! Obviously, we’re here to talk about these awesome, versitle, tasty Tex-Mex Veggie Bowls. But it wouldn’t be a proper blog post without first diving into a long-winded story that’s only vaguely (if at all) related to the recipe, would it?

Thai Quinoa Salad

Hello there! You might not recognize my written voice these days because I just turned 27, so my maturity level has skyrocketed. I no longer laugh at jokes typically reserved for 12-year-old boys, I balance my check book, and I only read textbooks and take medicine to manage my cholesterol in my free time. It’s what’s to be…

Mediterranean Lunch Prep

I don’t think I can fully express how nice it is to not have to worry about preparing lunch everyday. Well, my lunch at least. My little guy is all grown up and off to daycare and I spend my days working, missing him, and thinking of my life in terms of how may ounces of milk I…

Disclaimer: I eat paninis year-round and I encourage everyone I know to do so. They’re a part of a…

Lemon zucchini pasta

So it’s been awhile, but I’ve got my reasons. Busy starting a new job, joining a running group, being a dog mom, being a human… All that good stuff. It’s crazy how much less free time I have now that I have a job that actually requires me to put in a little effort. Did you know that…

Vegetarian pizza party

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…
