It’s been a while since we’ve had a smoothie here!! Two of my favorites in smoothies these days are frozen cherries and CARROT JUICE! Both are so tasty and, at least for me, introduce some unusual/different flavors into smoothies. This cherry maca smoothie recipe is super straightforward: cherries, mango, maca, banana, carrot juice! That’s it!…
Breakfast
Vanilla Matcha Cashew Milk
We’re in the final stretch! Literally: 3 more days (including today) of Whole30 and then we EAT ALL THE THINGS! I’m mostly being dramatic, since we haven’t really struggled that much with cravings in the last month — but we are excited to eat some pizza and burgers and tacos and normal “let’s go hang…
Whole30 Bacon Brussels Sprout Frittata
Welp, as you might notice from the the title of this recipe: I’m doing the whole30. I’m nearly done at this point — day 21 today! — and figured I should share this whole30 bacon brussels sprout frittata! I’m not sure if I’ll do an entire post on whole30, but lemme know if you have…
Dark Chocolate Cranberry Scones
How do people blog these days?? I’m having such a struggle to find anything to say here, and am sitting on multiple recipes I’d really like to share with you all! Mostly my brain is distracted by politics and the state of our country: something I’ve broached here before and likely will again. The trolls…
Coconut Cranberry Overnight Oats
Happy New Year, everybody! I hope you closed out 2016 with a bang, and welcomed 2017 with optimism! We spent the weekend at the beach with friends, cooking together, strumming guitars, playing with dogs, and just generally chilling out. This year is off to a darn good start — we’re mostly unpacked and settled into…
Cranberry Wreaths
Last post of 2016! YESSSSS! This is gonna be a quick one, because I haven’t actually made and photographed this recipe… but after posting an instagram of these suckers earlier this week, I had so many requests for the recipe! Apologies for the heavily filtered photo. I figured I better just do it now (so…
Warm Kale, Delicata, Pearl CousCous Salad (+PDX Holiday Brunch!)
Have I mentioned how much I love living in Portland?? Yeah, I know I have like ten bajillion times, and I’m gonna do it again: I LOVE living in Portland. I could go on and on about wonderful food, coffee, scenery, etc. but today: it’s about the wonderful creative women I’ve come to know, work…
Toasted Coconut and Pecan Meusli
Wednesday! Halfway through interview week! And I bring you meusli! I don’t have tons to report on the internship/interview front yet: I’m in the middle of my 5 interviews, which are going well and are not nearly as scary as I imagined! I think the last few years of meeting SO many strangers and talking…
Brussels Sprouts and Spicy Sausage Ricotta Quiche
I’m gonna be upfront and warn you that there might be a crazy influx of quiche recipes in the next few months. I’M OBSESSED! This is really only the second quiche I’ve ever made (first one is here!), and I’m not sure why this hasn’t been a staple in my weekly cooking before now. Maybe…
Simple Breakfast Salad with Poached Egg
I used to be a sweets-for-breakfast kind of person. I LOVED French toast and doughnuts and anything considered a vehicle for maple syrup (which, let’s be honest, is everything). If we went out for breakfast, it was a safe bet that Mary would order something sweet, and definitely not savory. I’m not sure what changed,…
White Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits
This white cheddar buttermilk biscuits recipe comes together quickly, especially with the help of a food processor, for fluffy biscuits perfect for breakfast! They freeze well, and are easily baked from frozen for quick breakfasts made ahead of time. I’m on a total biscuit kick. You wouldn’t know it, but I’m verging on a serious…
My (current) Favorite Oatmeal (and what I’m eating these days)
As I mentioned on Tuesday, going back to school has changed my daily routine significantly — I go to bed earlier, wake up earlier, spend significantly less time at home, cook less, eat differently, exercise more (commuting via bike), and so much more. I already shared my favorite go-to lunch (rice noodle salad with beets,…
Pumpkin Cornmeal Pancakes for Two
Oh haaaay! Remember when I was like “Hey, I’m going back to school! I’m gonna be busy! Don’t worry, I’ll still be around!” ? … I definitely underestimated HOW busy I would be! HOW DO YOU PEOPLE ADULT!? It’s hard. I’ve seriously had approximately 3 waking hours to myself in the last 10 days! Despite…
Cranberry Pistachio Baked Oatmeal
When did buying a dress become so difficult?? I spent HOURS downtown yesterday, trying on ten bajillion dresses (and a few sassy jumpsuits!) in search of the perfect one for a fancy holiday party on Saturday. Did I succeed? Um, no. Not really. It is HARD! Mostly, I think my Portland dirtbagness has overtaken my…
Cranberry Buckwheat Dutch Baby for One
And here we continue the cranberry kick! YASSS! This whole cranberry thing is going to be a perpetual problem, because if I plan to make a cranberry recipe it means I also plan to have some extra cranberries to have in the final photograph. But that means I have more cranberries to use, which means…
Toasted Coconut Wild Rice Porridge with Persimmons
This is *exactly* what I dream about eating when the weather is cold. EXACTLY! It’s so warm, spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, thick and creamy with coconut milk, and hints at a tropical beach (where you KNOW I would love to be!) with the toasted coconut on top. Plus, hello persimmon! You just can’t go…
