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….
Breakfast
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…
The Creamiest Nut Milk + The Crunchiest Buckwheat Granola, with Roasted Cranberries
I have been meaning to share this recipe for weeks, with the idea that this granola would make a a lovely homemade hostess gift for the holiday. Well, here we are 4 days before Christmas and I am scrambling! If you could only see the chaotic mess behind the scenes of my seemingly serene and…
Baked apple oatmeal with crunchy nut topping + vegan caramel drizzle
This baked oatmeal is like the dressed up weekend version of my favorite weekday oatmeal. I have some sort of oatmeal or porridge every day during the week, so when the weekend comes around I usually favor eggs or pancakes. Something that feels a bit more special and celebrates the fact that it is in…
