30 Breakfast Ideas Besides Cereal
February 11, 2019

Lets face it, there’s a whole aisle of the grocery store devoted to breakfast cereal, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a healthy option for breakfast.

Cuban Breakfast
January 7, 2019

Nothing starts a Saturday morning off right like a hearty breakfast of fiber, protein, and delicious flavors!

This recipe is inspired by a restaurant my husband, Dustin, and I love to go to near our home called Cafe Patachou. It’s one of those cozy restaurants that despite being always busy, makes you want to spend a little extra time talking with the ones you love. Their menu is full of fresh ingredients sourced from local farms and producers within 100 miles of their restaurants.

Product Review: Miracle Noodles
October 1, 2018

What it is:

Chocolate Brownie Hummus
September 6, 2018

 

BROWNIES ARE LIFE. If I had to pick only one dessert to eat the rest of my life it would be brownies. The strange part is, I’m not that good at making homemade brownies so I usually stick to just the box mix. It’s less effort and and usually taste better anyways.

 

Life is about balance, you can’t always eat salad and grilled chicken breast and expect to enjoy life to the fullest. Sometimes you’re eating really “healthy” and other times, you eat for pure enjoyment, not health. That’s ok, you shouldn’t feel guilty about allowing yourself to NOT be perfect all the time.

 

Today’s recipe is one about the happy medium place. You get a taste for your favorite guilty pleasure *aka brownies* but with some sneaky health benefits *protein and fiber from chickpeas*!
