Layered Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad with Herbed Sour Cream

August 10, 2015 by Faith 12 Comments

This Layered Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad with Herbed Sour Cream features the best of summer produce and is sure to be a hit at your summer picnic or potluck.

At the beginning of summer, one of Mike’s favorite coworkers moved to Hawaii.

(It was a sad day when we said goodbye to her, not only because she was funny and sweet and smart, but also because she makes the best brownies I’ve ever put into my mouth. She’s like some kind of evil brownie magician because I swear her recipe is irreplicable despite my 25 pathetic attempts.)…

Arugala Breakfast Salad with Stovetop Maple Nut Brittle and Blueberry Lemon Dressing

February 23, 2015 by Faith 15 Comments

I’m a big fan of breakfast for any meal of the day, but I’m weird about my eggs in the morning. I will eat any kind of egg except one with a runny yolk for breakfast, but as far as runny yolks go, all bets are off for lunch or dinner. So weird. (Any other quirky breakfast eaters out there?)...

Chicken Salad Bowl with Avocado, Strawberry, and Walnut {Paleo}

I have a weird method of cooking for Mike and I. One thing I adore about him is how even though he is a crazy-picky eater, if it’s a dish he likes, he doesn’t mind eating it for leftovers…for a week straight. Yup, I’m a lucky girl....

Chocolate Avocado Pudding {Vegan}

April 23, 2012 by Faith 43 Comments

Vegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding is lusciously rich and creamy with deep chocolate flavor…but secretly healthy! It’s not new, but on the off chance that someone hasn’t made chocolate avocado pudding I wanted to share my version. If you’re on the fence about making it, give it a try! If the fact that it’s healthy doesn’t sell you, just know that its creaminess rivals that of any chocolate pudding you’ve indulged in. (And no, you can’t taste the avocado!) :)...

Refried Lentils & A Fiesta of a Meal!

August 10, 2011 by Faith 48 Comments

In college I dormed with three other girls my junior year. We didn’t do much cooking (since there was one kitchen for the whole floor and it never seemed to be without a sink full of dirty dishes, a food-spattered stovetop, and a sticky counter…and who wants to have to clean someone else’s kitchen mess before they can make dinner?), but when we did one of our favorite things to make was fajitas with refried beans. We didn’t make them often, not only because of the kitchen issues, but also because making fajitas was always a whole night affair....

Spumone Pudding Cake {With Avocado}

August 18, 2010 by Faith 52 Comments

Despite our hot and humid weather, I recently found myself in the mood to bake. I had about a quarter of a bag of cherries in the fridge and I knew I wanted to incorporate them into some kind of cake. I was thinking about making something with cherries and cream cheese, like cherry cheesecake cupcakes or cherry and cheese Danishes. Fate had other plans for me though. My visions of cherries and cheese were quickly altered when I opened the fridge to take out the cherries. There in the back of the fridge was a lonely (and kind-of sorry-looking) avocado. Now, there are plenty of things […]...

Layered Green Salad

I want to give a huge thank you to my very sweet friend Karyn of French Charming. Karyn’s blog is full of beautiful eye candy and nourishment for the soul too. Karyn’s positive outlook and inspirational ideas always bring a smile to my face. She is one of the most truly genuine bloggers I have had the pleasure of coming across, and reading her blog feels like catching up with a very dear friend. In addition to all of this, she is amazingly generous (she recently hosted 5 fabulous giveaways for 5 days in a row!). Karyn recently sent me a stunning tote bag that […]...
