Sometimes things just taste better when you make them yourself. Corndogs are hard to beat though – I think mainly cause you just don’t get the carnival nostalgia when you bake these in the oven, but the flavor is there, and trust me – when it’s cold and miserable out, these will instill all those feelings of summer comfort food when you need them most. But for now, let’s talk… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored by Blue Diamond® as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Summer is known for rooftop spritzers, sandy days at the beach and park bbqs. So where does a plant-based diet fit into all of these? A lot of advice says to bring your own food to parties so you have something to eat. While that works for… Keep Reading
The incredible, edible egg. For years, eggs have been a huge source of protein for me. Growing up on a farm, we were surrounded by eggs and basically had them every morning for breakfast. In fact, I can still make the best scrambled egg breakfast sandwich you’ve ever had. And includes eggs, cheddar, and peanut butter. Years ago people looked at me like WTF. Today, that’s basically a keto breakfast… Keep Reading
We’re kind of obsessed with pancakes over here. I mean, who isn’t really? You can play with shapes, flavors, add fruit and spices… Pancakes are so good even Jack Johnson wrote a song about them. So it’s no wonder they have their very own pancake day – which happens to be TODAY – March 5. One thing I love to sneak into my pancakes is protein. It’s usually easy to… Keep Reading
Another fantastic vegan find. If you’re tired of reading about vegan food – turn away now. But you’ll be missing out – this is the year to be vegan. There are so many delicious options I’m discovering that are meat- and dairy-free that you don’t even notice you’re giving up anything. Case in point my most recent find: Alpha Burritos and Pot Pies. These were a fun find because I… Keep Reading
If you would have asked me even a few months ago that I would down this health journey, I would have laughed. I grew up on a farm and we hunted animals to eat. Dairy and meat were staples in our diet. But we as get older and wiser, the evidence is pretty clear that eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes is where it’s at. They say this… Keep Reading
Tailgating gets a bad rep. You think beer chugging and huge men with beer bellies slurping wing sauce, sausages and fries. Not to take all your fun out of it, but tailgating can still be tasty without all the high-calorie artery clogging. Yinz will be livid for me offering lighter options, but let’s be honest – the trick is in the trade. You don’t have to down hoagies on the… Keep Reading
Everyone knows the Vitamix as the supreme blender/mixer do-it-all tool for the kitchen, but are you actually using it? Not much intimidates me, but I wasn’t sure how to really get into the mix of this fancy machinery. I tried making smoothies, but they just weren’t coming out perfect – maybe I was adding too much since it was so big? Blended soups were no problem – my Butternut… Keep Reading
Alll the joys of BTS (back to school for you NOOBS) are here people! Schedules, homework, tests and yes, school lunches. I didn’t realize that going to our school meant making school lunches for basically the rest of my life. That’s a commitment, so anything making that morning routine easier is MUSIC TO MY EARS. But I also have a picky eater. So all those fancy cute lunches you parents… Keep Reading
