We just returned from our annual two week vacation in Michigan. I have been going there in the summer my whole life, and it’s my favorite place in the world (and quickly becoming my kids’). We’re definitely going through withdrawal. It’s a place synonymous for me with a sparkling cerulean lake peeping through the dune…
Breakfast
Baked Overnight French Toast with Strawberries + Cream
This post is sponsored by Little Northern Bakehouse. All opinions are my own and all products are those I truly recommend. It’s spring (finally!), and I am looking forward to a season of entertaining in our new house. When entertaining, I prefer simple recipes that can be prepped ahead and easily feed a crowd. French…
Strawberry Probiotic Smoothie Bowl with Oats + Almond Butter
I’m not usually a smoothie-for-breakfast type of person. A smoothie rarely feels substantial enough in the morning, and I tend to favor hearty, warm foods to start the day. But when the temperatures top 90, the humidity is overwhelming and the heat index might as well be a billion degrees, smoothies are what I crave….
Buckwheat Banana Blender Pancakes — Gluten-free
Happy weekend! I thought I would pop back in after an (unintentionally) extended break with a recipe for these buckwheat blender pancakes — my go-to pancake recipe of late. How’s your summer going? We just got back from a glorious two week vacation in Michigan. It’s a place synonymous with summer for me, with long…
Salted Cacao Buckwheat + Hazelnut Granola
Part dessert, part breakfast, part whatever you want it to be — this nourishing chocolate granola pretty much satisfies your every need. During my first trimester, I had a complete aversion to all things chocolate. Really, I couldn’t even think about chocolate. But now, at 23 weeks (how!?!?) my chocolate-loving self is back in full…
Rhubarb, Orange + Ginger Muffins with Almond Streusel
I’ll just say this right upfront: these Rhubarb-Orange-Ginger Muffins might be my favorite muffins. Ever. I’ve made them three times in the last couple weeks, and I cannot get enough. They are a celebration of rhubarb (my favorite seasonal fruit), with vibrant flavor, a pop of color and a tender crumb. These muffins deserve a…
The Creamiest Instant Pot Oatmeal — Sweet + Savory
Today I’m finally sharing one of my recipes that I make every week — the *creamiest* Instant Pot oatmeal. A bold claim, I know. It’s a simple recipe, but yields a far-from-basic oatmeal to serve as the most delicious blank canvas for all your wildest porridge topping dreams. Anyone else daydream about oatmeal toppings? Okay,…
Buckwheat Maple Banana Bread — Gluten-free + Dairy-free
I’ve been on a bit of a buckwheat kick lately. I’ve always loved buckwheat pancakes (who doesn’t?), but this past year I’ve really broadened my buckwheat horizons. Buckwheat porridge, buckwheat granola, buckwheat grain salads, buckwheat cake — I can’t get enough. I love buckwheat’s earthy and slightly bitter (in a good way) flavor. Buckwheat is…
Cream of Millet Porridge + Caramelized Bananas
Did you have Cream of Wheat as a kid? Remember that bright red box of heavily processed wheat that delivered the creamiest bowl of porridge in 2.5 minutes? I adored having Cream of Wheat with milk, honey, a little butter and a pinch of cinnamon and salt. I developed my penchant for a sprinkle of…
Cardamom Spiced Spelt and Almond Flour Pancakes + Orange-Vanilla Bean Yogurt and Pomegranate Seeds
Pancakes have become a weekend fixture for us since Rose was born. We rarely go out for brunch anymore, instead opting for cozy breakfasts in the confines of our own home. Said breakfasts are usually at 8 am, so they are decidedly NOT brunch. I am totally fine with that! There is something very exhilarating…
