You guys.

I one hundred percent blame Pinterest for these.

They started popping up in my feed several weeks back and I haven’t been able to get them out of my head since.

I can’t make any argument for the nutritional value for them – but they really are delicious!

Not to mention the fact that they can literally be made in about 3 minutes…good news for those of you with families or even those of you that are entertaining and want to have a pretty fancy-looking meal on the table for your guests without all the dishes and the clean up of one that’s made-from-scratch.

{roasted asparagus with toasted walnuts and feta}

May 15, 2013

Iiiiiiit’s asparagus season!! And boy does it make me happy. You can grill it, roast it, steam it…even fry it I suppose if that’s what you fancy. I’ve never been super creative with asparagus because I love it so much plain. I usually just roast it with some olive oil and salt and call it [...]

There’s something about the peanut butter/chocolate combo that works so well for my afternoon snack time. The chocolate is the perfect amount of sweetness and the peanut butter has the heft that I [...]

{thursday thoughts on: eating well}

May 9, 2013

I don’t think it’s any secret that I love food. All food. I’ve been that way ever since I was a little girl – it’s part of what drew me to pursuing a degree in nutrition and dietetics. If there’s one overarching thing that I’ve learned thus far through school, it’s that there [...]

{dark chocolate chip oatmeal cookies}

May 7, 2013

Luckily, I’ve gone ahead and fixed that I’ve been CRAVING oatmeal chocolate chip cookies lately – I have no idea why (and [...]

{my favorite people to follow on instagram}

April 4, 2013

You all know my love for Instagram (and photos in general) by now, so I’m jumping on board with this whole “favorite instagramers to follow” thing. A little while ago when Lindsay (also great to follow on Instagram!) did it, I thought it was such a good idea. Then Janetha did it the other day [...]
