Oven-Fried Chicken & Buttermilk Waffles

I’ve been staring out the window at the rain this whole week trying to stop a constant repetition of the old phrase “April showers bring May flowers” that’s going through my head. I was almost settled on dealing with it like an adult until I woke up, yet again, to a...

Andes Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hey my friends! Anyone in the mood for some cookie inspo? You know, because I’m always happy to give it! So today’s recipe comes with a whole lot of irony for me because I made cookies using Andes mints. Now, in case you missed it, I lived in Chile for 4 years in the...

Mint Chocolate Chip Avocado Mousse Cups

Ok, so I’m officially sick of being sick this year. This past week I caught a case of the flu, on my birthday actually, so yeah that was wonderful. I’d planned to share this recipe a little sooner so that it would be live in time for you guys to make it for St...

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake

Have I been procrastinating the writing of this post to “accidentally” get lost in making travel plans for next week? Come on, of course not, because no one does that. 😉 So maybe I’m a little bit guilty, but you know, sometimes life happens. Also, I did notice the...

Monster Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Sometimes all you need to take something from good to great is just a simple idea. When I was growing up, back when my mom used to do most of the baking in the house. We had a pretty basic set of favorites when it came to cookies. Chocolate chip cookies were obviously...

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto & Havarti Grilled Cheese

Who else is excited about this Summer? I’m already feeling the need to switch out the wardrobe from jackets and boots so I can dig out all the shorts and flip-flops. Maybe this is just me, but there’s just something so liberating about not having to layer up to walk...

Easy Cinnamon Sweet Potato Quick Bread

So I realize this post is coming at you way out of season. I’d blame it on all that time I spent living in the Southern Hem where the seasons are all switched up, but the truth is we recently got this ginormous bag of sweet potatoes and only about half of the people...

Blueberry Almond Streusel Crumb Muffins (Gluten Free)

I just typed out “It’s been a muffin since I’ve shared a minute recipe.” That’s pretty much what today’s like, but you know what? It’s the weekend, we’re just gonna go with it. Speaking of that though, how did this weekend sneak up so quickly, you know what I mean?...

Hummus Crusted Chicken Meal Prep Bowls

Okay, so I probably shouldn’t say this, but (knock on wood) I think the sun might have finally decided to stick around for the rest of Spring and I’m so excited about it. Not only that, but I’ve been trying to get over yet another cold the past few days and today I...

5-Ingredient S’mores Puff Pastry Pop-Tarts

Considering the fact that they’re s’mores flavored you can probably guess what at least 3 of those ingredients are. Yep, we’re taking the pieces that make up a great s’more and stuffing them into puff pastry for a really simple treat that will convince everyone you...

No-Bake Raw Vegan Snickers Bars

So let’s talk about legendary recipes. I’d say most families have them. Whether it’s grandma’s famous pie recipe passed down from generation to generation, dad’s special lasagna, or your uncle’s secret sauce recipe. It’s funny how the really good ones have a way of...

Carne Asada Breakfast Burritos

It’s just another normal day of the week but today there are burritos involved! I realize that I haven’t done a taco tuesday in a while. I guess they sort of fell off the radar a little bit between traveling, family stuff, keeping up with blogging, and just the...

Goji Berry Banana Chia Breakfast Jars

So we finally had an almost sunny day yesterday and I’m so hopeful that it means all the Spring feels are finally going to start soon. Honestly, can we just get a little sunshine around here??? Well the weather is making me really miss the flowers. That was actually...

Dark Chocolate Covered Espresso Bean Mini Loaves

And here I am again displaying my obsession for both chocolate AND coffee. I’m updating my life motto to “When life gives you some chocolate covered espresso beans, a cute little loaf pan you rarely use, and a chocolate craving, you make a recipe out of it!” Too long,...

Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)

You guys are probably thinking I’m obsessed with cookie dough at this point but……….wait, who are we kidding, I totally am! Yes, give me a planet where berries are abundant, the rivers are chocolate, and cookie dough grows on trees and I’d be all set. Anybody...

Ricotta Lemon Pancakes+Whipped Honey Butter

So I was thinking, it’s been a while since the last time I shared a pancake recipe, hasn’t it? Honestly, it’s a little hard to keep track sometimes when I share so many recipes, but I can’t imagine it ever being a bad time for them, so I think pancakes are on the menu...

Asparagus & Feta Puff Pastry Tarts

I’m having major deja vu about saying this, but our Spring seems to be hiding. I’ve been hard on myself in the past about talking about the weather in too many posts, but this time I feel like it’s warranted because I woke up on April 1st/Easter Sunday/April Fool’s...

Baked Yam Fries with Sriracha Hummus (Vegan + GF)

But don’t distress too much, there’s french fries! Okay, technically these are baked and they aren’t really your typical fries, but still, same difference right? Before I get into that too much, let me fill you in on some life stuff that’s come up recently. Actually,...

Tropical Breeze Carrot Juice Smoothie

So what’s the status on your Springtime weather and have you guys been enjoying Spring break? If you just said you’ve got sunny skies and budding flowers I’m super envious. No, I’m really genuinely happy for you I promise, I’m just not sure I can promise that the...

Toasted Peeps S’mores Skillet Brownie

I’ve got a fudgy, sweet, sticky, situation to tell you guys about. Tell me if this is just me, but I’m really terrible about remembering to use tools and things that I’ve put away. Like if it’s out of sight and out of mind, I might as well not even have it. My dad got...

Coconut Vanilla Fluffy Bunny Ears Cupcakes

Somehow it’s approaching the end of another month again. How did that happen? Wow, is it just me or is 2018 passing lightning fast? It’s already amost the first of April you guys and coincidentally that’s also Easter Sunday this year. I’ve already ranted about my...

30-Minute Thai Basil Asian Steak Stir-Fry

Do you ever look forward to something for so long that you can hardly believe it’s actually arrived? That’s how I feel about Spring this year. I’ve been dreaming about all the things I want to make, do, and see this season, that it seems unbelievable that it’s...

Spring Bunny Tracks Confetti Blondies

You guys, you guys, Spring is heeeeeeere! I know I’m excited, and I hope you are too. As you guy probably already know, my favorite way to celebrate any season is with something edible (and preferably colorful, oh, OH and sweeeeeeeet!) So we’re just gonna pretend that...

Hummus & Veggies Mediterranean Mezze Board

Can we all agree on the fact that being sick just sucks on every level? Especially when you’re older because then you don’t even get to miss school as a bonus. You just get to lay around feeling guilty that you’re not doing all the things you need to. Then on top of...

Chocolate Spelt Greek Yogurt Waffles + Maple Nut Butter Syrup

Waffles should be an everyday thing, don’t you think? Tell me, are you a team pancake or a team waffles type of person. For the longest time I’d go back and forth thinking I was one or the other until I finally made my peace with my indecision and reached a point of...

Heirloom Tomato Marinara Meatballs & Spaghetti Squash

’ve got way more excitement than usual this morning. Firstly, the birds. I’ve been hearing birds singing in the mornings this week and it’s getting me so excited about Spring. I mean, it’s possible they were singing a little bit through the Winter, but I certainly...

Moroccan Ribboned Carrot Raddicchio Salad + Blood Orange Dressing

I know, I know, the title is fifty miles long. Sorry about that, but at least be glad that I didn’t make it as long as I could have. See, I always want to be super descriptive with you guys about the recipes I’m sharing and today’s recipe just happened to have...

Travel Diary California: Beach Day + Balboa Park at Night

It’s been over a week since I got home from California but I only just finished sorting through all the photos. I’m finally sharing the last ones from our last few days we spent there. The evening before we left we had the pleasure of meeting up with a cousin who...

Roasted New Potato & Arugula Salad

Happy Monday guys, I finally had a little time to do some recipe planning and cooking and I’ve got one of them to share today. Last week after I got home from Cali was such a whirlwind. I mean, I really enjoyed being busy and then skiing over the weekend because the...

Travel Diary California: Coronado Island

Happy weekend guys! I’m really excited to share these photos from our day on Coronado Island. After all the places we went during our trip my sister and I agreed that this day was our mutual favorite. The beach, the town, the weather, and just the entire day felt like...

Travel Diary California: La Jolla Cove & Seaport Village

So I finally had a chance to sort through some more of the photos from my travels to share. My sister and I had such a great time, I probably already said that a bunch of times, but it’s true. We make great travel companions for each other because when it comes to...

Travel Diary: San Diego – Part 1

Finally had a chance to share some of the trip I’m on with my sister in San Diego and I’m so excited to share them with you. Growing up in big family, it’s nice to have a smaller group to travel with. It just simplifies things not to have so many people to keep up...

Strawberries+Cream Fudge Brownie Trifle

Happy weekend my peeps, and it couldn’t have come at a better time I think. Any fun plans? My schedule will probably involve lots of packing and planning for San Diego. It wasn’t part of the original trip plans but it looks like I’ll be in Cali for Valentine’s Day...

Thursday Things

Happy Thursday again. So the flu season this year has been ridiculousness. Anyone else? I’ve been trying to pretend I didn’t have this annoying cold all week, but to be honest it’s got me feeling pretty crappy today. Also, the temperature here is supposed to reach the...

Tuesday Toast: Coffee Break with Me

Good morning and happy Tuesday again. Today’s toast is like soooooo simple it hardly needs any explanation. I mean, I guess if you’ve never seen a pomegranate before (which I know a lot of you maybe haven’t) then maybe you’re a bit curious, but otherwise I’m pretty...

4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Cereal Bars

Hey my favorite peeps, I hope you’re off to a fabulous first Friday of February! (Haha, well that’s quite a tongue-twister) Since the last time I mentioned the weather here it still has yet to snow more than flurries and the grass is almost completely visible...

Easy Vanilla Marshmallow Milkshakes

You know you’re a grown-up, responsible, mature adult when…….you purposefully dump miniature marshmallows everywhere to take a photo and no one questions your sanity. I’ve learned a few things this week, and one of them is that you’re not in the right line of work if...

Acai Mango Detox Smoothie Bowls

Don’t you hate it when you mean to order the blue spirulina and you accidentally get the green one? Alright, so that’s probably just me. I could think of a whole list of other scenarios that would only happen to me because I’m the strange food blogger girl. For...

Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches

It’s about time for a savory recipe, don’t you think? Even with it being healthy January time I still always find myself also wanting to plan recipes like this because of it being Superbowl time. Are there any American football fans with me? You know, it’s funny too...

Tuxedo Cheesecake Bars

Happy 2018 my friends! I hope you’ve had a great first week of the year so fas and are still feeling strong and ready to face the other 51 weeks ahead. So I had intentions to start out the year posting regularly here on the blog but the flu season hit our house hard...

Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Gingerbread Cookie Trifles

Spicy Thai Chicken Tahini Stir-Fry Ramen

And just like that we all wake up to December. Happy fri-yay and happy December my friends! It’s funny, you’d think the reality of time moving on would eventually set in after a while……..but somehow it’s always surprising to me. You know what I mean? Well anyway, I...

Spiced Cranberry Apple Pie

How did it get this late in the year guys? I don’t know, but I’m guessing those of you celebrating a holiday tomorrow and probably even many of you that aren’t, are busy doing lots of baking now that the holiday season is in full swing. This year has been quite a...

Travel Diary: Lisbon at Night

“I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.” ~ Vincent van Gogh I honestly haven’t spent enough time working on my photography skills outside of food so my recent time spent in Lisbon was a great opportunity to practice. One...

Travel Diary: LX Factory in Lisbon

Healthy Double Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Cookie (Single-Serving)

Where I’ve been………….

……”Just let go, Tori, you’ll be fine!” ……”Push off and let the rope catch you.”…………Don’t worry, it can hold you’re weight.” shouted my adventurous little sister as I clung to the rock wall for dear life. But it feels so loose, what if it doesn’t work?” I shouted back...

Living in Chile – Volcán Calbuco Eruption

I had a recipe to post today but it seemed a little insignificant in light of the fact that I was watching a volcanic eruption yesterday and half the night last night. My everyday life may not always be as exciting as food but I think molten lava and volcanic ash is...

Chocolate Coated Nuts and Seeds Granola Bars

Browned Butter Malted Milk Fudge Brownies

Santiago

And yet again I find myself feeling like I’d love to be a city dweller, like a lot. This past week I was in Santiago with my family and I just forgot how much I enjoy spending time there. Pictured above are some of the mismatched moments from my trip. Row 1: #1: The...

Butterbeer Ice Cream Floats with Coconut Caramel Ice Cream

Okay, you got me. Yep, I’m a Potter fan. Once upon a time, I enjoyed reading books. Of course, that was when I had tons of free time. These days, the thought of sitting down to a good book for hours and hours is a dim fantasy, and yet somehow it’s not as appealing as...

Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I don’t remember the first time I heard of browned butter anything. It’s one of those fads that has slowly crept up on us and it feels like, unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, you have to know about it. It’s like approaching the old news...

Homemade Peanut Butter Crunch Breakfast Cereal Puffs

Most of you know that my older sister is expecting her first baby very soon. She is 9 months pregnant so Ryder could come anytime now. My whole family is so excited to have a baby in the family and I still can’t believe that I’m going to be an aunt. It’s completely...
