How was your weekend, friends? Joe and I soaked up every ounce of the beautiful weather we had this weekend, and for the first time it felt like Spring really is on its way! We also finally got around to buying bikes! It’s been a long time coming, since my last bike was something purchased in middle school. Since Minneapolis has so many beautiful bike trails, we knew we were missing out. Moving right along…Let’s talk about pie, shall we? … Read More
Recipes Around the Web
Happy Friday, friends! How have you been lately? This week just flew by, and we’re gearing up to have the warmest weekend in what feels like years. I can promise you I’ll be spending my fair share of time outside. I think it’s time for another round-up of recipes I’ve worked on lately from around the web, don’t you think? Here are a few of my favorites: Chia Seed Pudding with Raspberry Compote from Tasteseekers Kitchen (pictured above) White Russian … Read More
BLT Summer Chopped Salad
Lately Joe and I have been eating warm-weather foods despite our unseasonably cold temperatures. It’s our way of willing summer to come sooner rather than later, and busting out of the monotony of cold weather eating. A few weeks ago we just decided to heck with it, let’s bust out the grill and the salads and the smoothies and just start eating the way we do during the summer. Not only does it taste refreshing, but I seem to have … Read More
Birthday Cake Oatmeal
As much as I love variety and change in some aspects of my life, like my work and my workouts, I really crave routine in some aspects of life. Take, for example, breakfast. I eat oatmeal or oat bran for breakfast every single morning. To me, it’s the perfect morning meal. But at the same time, I get bored with the same old oatmeal every morning. It’s good to mix things up every now and again. I mentioned a month … Read More
Chicago Part 1 (and a little blogging break)
Hello, hello! I took a little blogging break, did you notice? It wasn’t really a planned blogging break, but it seems that life turned into a perfect storm of events, getting sick, being incredibly busy at work, and feeling a little creatively burnt out, mandating a break from structure and the constant push to churn out great recipes and content week after week. One of the questions I get most frequently is where I find the time to maintain a … Read More
Yogurt Streusel Coffee Cake
The weekend is almost upon us! For some reason, Friday’s arrival just sort of ambushed me and I am having a hard time believing that it’s Friday. I guess that’s a good problem to have, much better than the week dragging by. We don’t have a whole lot on the calendar this weekend, which I’m totally excited about. A few dinners with friends and family, a couple of lazy mornings, and enjoying the warmer weather with the pups. Sounds pretty … Read More
Whole Wheat Biscuits with Jam
In our house, weekends are for taking a little extra time to make breakfast. I love waking up early (yes, we wake up early even on the weekend) and starting a pot of coffee on the stove top, getting out ingredients for homemade biscuits and spending an extra few minutes in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Growing up, my mom made biscuits served with beef stew and it was always one of my favorite meals. Today, I usually make biscuits for … Read More
