Muesli may not sound very enticing, particularly amidst this season of indulgence. Maybe for you it is synonymous with a bowl of limp, raw oats, completely devoid of flavor. And fun. Well, this is decidedly not that muesli. I’m here to tell you that muesli can be exciting and crave-able and a breakfast you will…

Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quinoa, Chickpeas + Maple Tahini Dressing
This Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quinoa, Chickpeas and Maple Tahini Dressing would be a welcome addition to your Thanksgiving menu. Call me crazy, but it is the type of dish to which I am most drawn on this holiday of beige food. I have nothing against beige food, per se — I love silky mashed…
Pumpkin Pecan Energy Bites
I’m posting my first pumpkin recipe of the season, and it’s already mid-October. I’ve had grand plans to make multiple batches of pumpkin bread, my pumpkin snack cake and pumpkin cookies, but it’s been a busy month and my pumpkin baking adventures have fallen by the wayside. These Pumpkin Pecan Energy bites are perfect for…
Crunchy Peanut Butter Chocolate Quinoa Bars
Imagine if a certain chocolate covered peanut butter cup had a love affair with a crunch bar, and they had a less-processed and naturally sweetened child. That would be these crunchy peanut butter chocolate quinoa bars, which combine two of my favorite childhood candies into one delicious and more nourishing treat. Put them on your…
White Bean + Artichoke Hummus
I’ve been blending up this ethereal dip quite frequently lately, and I thought it was high time I shared this simple yet flavorful recipe. Or any recipe, for that matter! It’s been 9 months since Max was born and 4 months since we moved, and I am still trying to get back into some semblance…
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…
Orange, Fennel, Sweet Potato + Avocado Salad with Miso-Tahini Dressing
Happy 2019! My intention to hit the ground running in the new year with multiple posts per week was quickly derailed. So far, my new year has included traveling home from the holiday with an infant and a toddler, a painful neck spasm (likely from carrying said infant and all his accompanying gear), a family…
Spiced Pumpkin Snack Cake with Vegan Maple Cream Cheese Frosting – Gluten-free + Dairy-free
Hello! I’m casually popping in the day before Thanksgiving to share this pumpkin cake with you. Because with a toddler and a newborn, that is how I operate these days — last-minute and slightly frazzled. If you’re in need of a last minute T-day dessert, let this be a contender. It is quick and foolproof,…
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…
Coconut Creamed Kale with Sundried Tomatoes + Crispy Chickpeas
The first official day of summer is in a couple days, and I probably should be sharing one of my more “summer-y” recipes. But I have been craving this dish lately and decided it was time to share, despite what the calendar says. In its defense, the zippy flavors feel quite at home in this…
