I have to admit, I was anti-Pinterest for quite awhile.  It was not that I didn't think I would find great recipe ideas on there.  In fact, it was the opposite.  I was afraid to join for fear of discovering too many delicious things that I would have to add to my already never-ending collection of [...]

Guess what, friends?  We have almost made it...to the end of January, that is!  I think most of us can agree that January is not the most fabulous month ever (especially if you live in a cold climate), so to say that I am excited about this being the last Wednesday of January would be [...]

Potatoes are easily one of my favorite foods.  I love them for breakfast (think hashbrowns, sweet potatoes, and hashes), lunch (think stuffed baked potatoes), and for dinner (think french fries, mashed, and roasted).  I even eat sweet potatoes topped with nut butters as a snack.  Basically, if you put some form of potato in front [...]

Since becoming a vegetarian who follows a mostly plant-based diet, I have really missed ranch dressing.  I have found many other great vegan dressings to top my salads with, but my salads have just not been quite the same...until now.

Ahh, Wednesday.  How I love thee.  Thursday and Friday are the best work days since they are so close to the weekend.  But I still really enjoy Wednesday.  Wednesday is when it all turns around.  Wednesday is when we reach that peak in the hill of the week and start to begin the downward  slide [...]

I go through a lot of phases with my breakfasts.  For awhile I was hooked on cereal.  Then I moved to overnight oats.  While I am still eating both of these on a regular basis, my one true love right now is the buckwheat bake.  I made my first buckwheat bake after I saw one [...]

I have a lot of "go-tos" and obsessions when it comes to food.  I love sweet potatoes, carrots, nut butters, lentils, bananas, etc., etc., etc.  My favorite foods have all made appearances in my breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks at one point or another.  But my all-time favorite food when it comes to snacks is probably [...]

It is Friday and we are more than halfway through the month of January.  Both of these things are very, very good.  I already mentioned that January and I just do not get along.  This is the month where I am still feeling some of the holiday blues, and it is also one of the coldest and [...]

I was provided with coupons for free product by Driscoll's Berries, but as always, all opinions are my own. I am a snacker.  I am not one of those three meals and one snack kind of girls.  No.  I am more like a three meals and six snacks kind of girl.  Snacks fuel me up [...]
