I know, I know. It’s Valentine’s Day, and I’m posting a recipe for spicy almond (butter) sauce. “How unromantic” you might think. Well, not for me! This recipe is perhaps the most exciting recipe of the year (not calendar: the entire last year!!) for me. I really might be in love with this almond sauce….

Fresh Cranberry Almond Soft Batch Cookies
Happy Tuesday! Have you digested all that turkey yet? Pumpkin pie? Pumpkin cheesecake? STUFFING!? Oh man. I’ve been making sure to move my bod extra this week (even if that means riding my bike in 32 degree weather and FREEZING) to get over the Thanksgiving full-belly conundrum. The good news? I’m over it! The bad…
Cherry Almond Potassium Smoothie
MOOTHIE MONDAY HEY HEY WHAT WHAT! Yeah. We’re back. Monday morning smoothie goodness intended to PUMP YOU FULL OF POTASSIUM. In case you’re into that kind of thing. I am. Especially when it’s been hotter than hot and I spent all weekend standing in a blazing sunny gravel parking lot surrounded by hundreds of sweaty…
Almond Cherry Scones (with coconut sugar)
These last few days, being back in Portland, are the kind of days where I’m like OMG I LOVE THIS CITY SO FREAKING MUCH I CAN’T STAND IT! Fo reals. I guess I usually/always feel that way, to some degree, but it seems particularly strong since I’ve come home. The weather has been perfect —…

THESE COOKIES. Almonds…
Chipotle Corn Almond Soup
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Hellooooo soup! Being back in Portland has meant a few things: I have an oven (!!!), I can’t drive on the left side of the street anymore (at least not safely…), and I have cold toes. In Bali I had a few pairs of socks for running, which I haven’t…
Blueberry Almond Smoothie {with Dates!}
Today we start a new series! SMOOTHIE MONDAY! At least, for the next few Mondays. I’ve been going crazy with the smoothies lately, and have some good ones to share with you! Derek suggested I find some alliteration and have “smoothie Sunday” or “smoothie Saturday” which, at my insistence on it being a Monday thing,…
Peach Basil Galette with Whole Wheat Almond Crust
Remember how I was really bummed about missing berry season? And nectarine/peach season? I TOTALLY DIDN’T MISS IT! Sure, maybe I missed the peak, but I was able to find plenty of fresh Oregon/Washington peaches, nectarines, and berries while we were in Portland and Seattle! Hallelujah! I figured I should get this recipe up ASAP…
Baked Raspberry Almond French Toast
Two weeks until we move to Asia! LESS THAN TWO WEEKS! Holy cow. {this post was supposed to go up yesterday, but my site was down all day… sorry ’bout that!} I can’t even really grasp that as a reality right now. Get ready for two weeks of OMG OMG OMG as I (likely daily)…
Blackberry Almond Coffee Cake
I’ve been super excited to share this recipe with you guys! It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, and I finally made it happen — and it totally exceeded all expectations. It was ADDICTIVE. Seriously addictive. I love all things almond, and the topping on this was absolutely perfect, which made for…
Spicy Cilantro Almond Pesto
We’re slowly crawling out from under the boxes! Slowly being the key word — we’ve definitely been choosing hiking, biking, and socializing over unpacking, but we are making progress! Now we desperately need to get rid of empty boxes, which I assume (based on our difficulty finding them) will be very easy. Now that we…
Chocolate Roasted Almond Butter
YOU GUYS! I am REALLY excited today! Please excuse the excessive use of caps lock today — BUT YES I ABSOLUTELY AM YELLING! Yelling out of excitement… not anger. No worries. We’re cool. Why, you might ask, am I excited? Two reasons: This chocolate roasted almond butter is (as Joy the Baker would say) TOTALLY…
Ginger Almond Bread
A few weeks ago we tried desperately to go to a cafe in town known for ridiculously delicious cowboy breakfasts. This was biscuit weekend, in which we were disappointed multiple times by our breakfast attempts. In the wake of our failure to eat at said cafe, a friend was telling me about the gingerbread they…
Soft Sugar Cookies (Lofthouse Style)
Everybody has a guilty pleasure food. I’m sure of it. How could you NOT have one? Guilty pleasures are, to me, the foods you know you shouldn’t buy/make/eat — but you LOVE them. And every once in a while you give in. Some of these might be considered guilty pleasures for health reasons, but I…
