Double Chocolate Banana Bread
I hadn’t planned on making a banana bread recipe any time soon. Why? Because in my 31 years on this earth, I’ve just never really been a huge fan of banana bread. Or bananas in general. There I said it. But last week I had three bananas staring at me on the top of my […]
Garlic Butter Pork Roast
Pork isn’t my favorite meat to eat, I’ll be honest. Well, unless it’s bacon we’re talking about I guess. What meat eating human doesn’t like bacon? No one, that’s who. While you won’t find any bacon in this recipe, you will find a deliciously juicy, buttery, and garlicky pork roast that makes enough to feed […]
Almond Cherry Smoothie Bowl
Spring has officially SPRUNG here in Connecticut. I know because all of the pretty trees in my apartment complex are blooming and it’s such a lovely sight to see. Why can’t the trees keep their flowers for longer than .5 seconds? It’s really such a bummer. Especially since we all knows what immediately follows flowering […]
Maple Bacon Breakfast Sausage
I shunned pork products for the most part for several years since I really struggled to find a good source for it. I wasn’t really comfortable eating any of the pork I would find at the supermarket and I’ve definitely heard my fair share of horror stories about conventional pork and the way that it […]
Carrot Cake Energy Balls
Holy cats, it’s April already! And it’s April FOOL’S Day, no less! Do you have any fun pranks planned for today? I consider myself a bit on the mischievous side, actually, so I’ve got a few up my sleeve for when Mike arrives home from work today *smirks* I’m actually off all day today, so […]
Classic Potato Salad
And just like that, Easter is upon us already. I feel like everyone says this all the time, but this year sure is flying by. I don’t suppose the years will stop flying by, though. “The years start coming and they don’t stop coming,” or so goes the fabulous and wholesome music of the late […]
Instant Pot Burrito Bowls with Avocado Ranch
Are you team Moe’s or team Chipotle? I am team Moe’s ALL DAY. The obsession began senior year in high school, when my high school BFF Katie and I would head to Moe’s after we got out of school and split an entire BOWL of queso. The good old days. I have no clue why, […]
Carrot Cake Collagen Shake
Although I’m not religious currently and was not raised religious, Easter was always a huge deal for me growing up. Easter was really the one day a year that I would see my mother’s whole side of the family. My mother is an only child, but my grandmother was one of 11 (I think?) children […]
Mint Chocolate Chip Blender Pancakes
Growing up, we hosted and attended a ton of sleepovers. Doesn’t every young girl? Ahhhh, memories. I’m pretty sure my house was known as the “fun pancake house.” In the mornings when my mom would hear us stirring, she would knock on our door and when we granted her access, she would poke her head […]
Creamy Bolognese
Have you ever had the desire to spend 3-4 hours making a meat sauce to slather all over some noodles? If the answer is yes, do I have the recipe for you! In fact, this is actually my second such meat sauce of this nature. Impressively, my Slow Cooker Sunday Sauce takes even LONGER to […]
