Okay let me tell you something. If you’ve been up since 6am studying for an exam you had at 8am then went directly into counseling a client then went straight to another class until later afternoon, these muffins are for you! Okay, even if you didn’t do all of that you’ll probably like them. But…
whole wheat apple cider pancakes
Well, here’s the bad news. I haven’t quite perfected my whole wheat apple cider snack cake yet…wait! Don’t leave yet! The good news is coming up…. And that’s these pancakes. Not only are they whole wheat so they’re filled with fiber, vitamins and minerals, but they’re oozing with delicious apple cider taste. They’re also SUPER…
whole grain banana chocolate chip yogurt skillet cake
this easy banana chocolate chip yogurt skillet cake is made in one pan and is so tender and delicious you’ll have a hard time keeping it around for long! Ah, the never-ending quest to come up with things to use your old bananas with… For me, because I only use them in baked goods and…
6-ingredient breakfast tacos
these simple tacos come together in a matter of minutes and are full of flavor. perfect any time of day, they’re a great meal to keep in your weekday rotation. Corn tortillas have just been doing it for me this summer. I’ve been using them non-stop. I’ve always liked them, but prior to this summer…
WHOLE WHEAT GRANOLA MUFFINS
I love crumbled muffins over greek yogurt with fruit. Is that weird? I don’t think I’ve ever really thought about it until now…as I’m typing this I’m realizing that maybe it’s not a usual combination? The yogurt/muffin combination actually saved muffins for me. I’ve always loved muffins but I’ve never been that person that can…
SUPER SIMPLE VEGAN BERRY BANANA ICE CREAM
This was actually an accident. Not the accidents that I’m used to either where I spill half my brownie batter all over the bottom of the already-preheated oven so that it becomes baked brownies without the pan. This was actually happy accident. I’ve been SUPER into smoothies lately (there’s actually another one coming to the blog…
VANILLA CHIA SEED PUDDING
I’m embarrassingly late to the chia seed pudding game. It’s been a thing for like…a year (more than a year?) in the food world and I’m only now getting around to finally trying it. Crazy considering that one of my Christmas gifts from my mom this year was a 1 pound bag of chia seeds….
4-ingredient green smoothie
So the other day I was googling ‘green smoothies’ because, no matter how hard I try, I’ve never had the ability to create a green smoothie that was actually green. They always taste delicious, but they come out a gross brown color. About halfway through my googling, I came across the secret to creating a…
FAVORITE EASY BANANA RECIPES
For some reason I’ve been craving banana muffins like crazy lately (and oddly enough I woke up to Lindsay’s Caramelized Banana Oat Muffins in my inbox! I will definitely need to be making these!) which has gotten me searching through some of my old recipes. Every time I do this I’m reminded of some of…
APPLE PIE SPICED WHOLE GRAIN DROP MUFFINS
So these muffins were not what I was expecting. But in the case of this recipe, not what I was expecting actually worked out really well. Just to set realistic expectations…. What these drop muffins are: High fiber Low sugar Packable and snackable What these drop muffins are NOT: Super beautiful Super sweet When…
pumpkin pie spiced whole wheat waffles
these soft and fluffy whole wheat waffles are bursting with pumpkin flavor.they pair perfectly with syrup or peanut butter and freeze well for up to 2 months! I had a little pumpkin leftover after making my whole grain pumpkin bread last week and have been just dying to use it for these waffles since the…
WHOLE GRAIN PUMPKIN BREAD
I cracked open my first can of pumpkin this week which in my opinion, officially makes it October! Despite the fact that I usually utilize pumpkin throughout all the Fall months, there’s just something about it that feels so October to me. While the possibilities of what to make first were absolutely endless, I’ve admittedly…
100% WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
As most of you know I’ve decided to recommit myself to getting my food budget under control this year which, by default, has meant relying less on processed foods. I’ve actually been loving this little byproduct of my food budget experiment. I find that I prefer food made from scratch in lieu of the store-bought…
WHOLE GRAIN APPLE SCONES WITH PEANUT BUTTER ICING
I felt like I had to get ONE more apple recipe in before September passed by. I always set October 1 as the date in which it’s acceptable to crack open my first can of pumpkin. I feel like September always flies by in a haze of summer ending and school starting and apples just…
WHOLE GRAIN APPLE COFFEE CAKE WITH WALNUT STREUSEL
Remember my banana coffee cake with pecan brown sugar streusel? If you don’t, I’ll just let you know that it was incredibly good. I ate for afternoon snacks, I crumbled it over yogurt and ate it for breakfast, I ate it over ice cream with a scoop of peanut butter for dessert… Needless to say…
WHOLE WHEAT BANANA CINNAMON ROLLS WITH PECAN BROWN SUGAR STREUSEL
I did it! I used up the last three of my EIGHT bananas and I did it all without resorting to a simple smoothie or basic banana bread. And I gotta say, out of the vegan peanut butter banana whole wheat waffles with pb sauce, the banana coffee cake with brown sugar pecan streusel and…
BANANA COFFEE CAKE WITH PECAN BROWN SUGAR STREUSEL TOPPING
Two more bananas down! I was SO excited to make this. It combined two of my major goals – homemade coffee cake and using up bananas. Plus it included a streusel topping…which truthfully, pretty much sold me on the whole thing. As far as I’m concerned, coffee cakes don’t get much better. It’s packed with…
VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER BANANA WHOLE WHEAT WAFFLES WITH PEANUT BUTTER BANANA SAUCE
Hi friends! Sorry for the two week hiatus – I’ve been buried in summer school work and just haven’t had the time to get together a good blog post. But I’m hoping these suckers make up for it! I’m taking a biology course right now and one of my labs required EIGHT ripe bananas. Truthfully,…
NO-BAKED EDIBLE PEANUT BUTTER HONEY OAT YOGURT BOWLS
Can I just be honest about how stupidly excited I was when I thought of this idea? It was ridiculous. I could barely sleep at night once the idea came to me and it was the first thing I did the next day when I woke up. It’s completely normal behavior to get that…
NUTRITION: FOR BREAKFAST
I got a request on Instagram to feature a recent grocery shop on the blog and explain what I intended to do with it. I (of course) absolutely loved the idea. One of my favorite places to spend time is the grocery store and one of my favorite things to do is to pull together…
WHOLE GRAIN BANANA BREAD
This is one of my favorite things to make. It’s so versatile – you can have it for dessert, breakfast, snack – even lunch if you’re add a glass of milk and some fruit on the side! It’s super moist because of the bananas and yogurt and I tweaked the original recipe to kick up…
CINNAMON ROLL WAFFLES
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…
WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL STRAWBERRY MUFFIN BREAD
Guys. Something amazing has happened. Strawberries are back! I mean, I kind of refuse to believe they ever leave and may or may not use them year-round regardless (shh – I don’t even want to hear about how far they’ve traveled for me to be eating them in the dead of winter) – but that’s…
EASY BANANA BREAD WAFFLES
Easy is the name of the game for me lately when it comes to food intake. As much as I would love to be able to spend all day in the kitchen developing intricate, detailed recipes, I unfortunately just don’t have the bandwidth. Six classes, an internship and multiple volunteer opportunities have left me incredibly…
