Crumble-Topped Peanut Butter Strawberry Jam Bars

September 6, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Crumble-Topped Peanut Butter Strawberry Jam Bars utilize that classic flavor favorite combo in a delicious back-to-school lunchtime treat.

When it comes to keeping packed lunches interesting, the struggle is real. As a kid I remember getting bored with nearly every type of sandwich my mom packed (which was typically just a rotation between turkey and tunafish with the occasional pb&j thrown in if I was lucky) within the first month of school starting!…

Vegan Herbed Black Rice, Black Lentils, and Black Quinoa Pilaf Salad Bowls with Blackberries

July 17, 2017 by Faith 5 Comments

Vegan Herbed Black Rice, Black Lentils, and Black Quinoa Pilaf Salad Bowls with Blackberries is a nutritious summer meal. One of my favorite summer memories growing up is of my sister and I picking wild berries at my grandparents’ house and eating them as fast as we could pick. Mom would always send us out with a few pint-sized containers, stained various shades of purple and red inside with remnants of previous summer’s berries, but we were hard-pressed to fill them up. It doesn’t get any better than eating freshly picked fruit that’s still warm from the sun....

Creamy Rosemary and Red Grape Chicken Salad {Paleo; Whole30-Friendly}

May 6, 2016 by Faith 5 Comments

Creamy Rosemary and Red Grape Chicken Salad is a flavorful way to dress up ordinary chicken salad. You’d be surprised at how fast my hubby blows through an entire batch of homemade mayo. He’s always finding creative (haha!) new ways to use it. Chicken wings, roasted potatoes, and even fried eggs are all fair game. Just about the only way he doesn’t eat mayo is on a sandwich....

Pineapple Black Bean Salad with Pomegranate Arils and Coconut Chips {Vegan}

February 15, 2016 by Faith 5 Comments

Vegan Pineapple Black Bean Salad with Pomegranate Arils and Coconut Chips is a delicious balance of sweet and savory flavors! Mike and I are currently in London, on a quick little whirlwind of a trip. Before we left when we were putting together a list of things we wanted to see, I asked Mike what he was looking forward to most. His reply: the food. Yeah, that sounds about right....

Japanese Power Bowl with Quick Miso Vinaigrette

January 27, 2016 by Faith 8 Comments

Make a Japanese Power Bowl with Quick Miso Vinaigrette for lunch to power through the mid-week slump! There’s always a debate about whether to buy lunch or brown bag it to work. Now that I work from home, I realize how fortunate I am to be able to whip up a healthy (hot, if I choose) lunch every day, but when I worked in an office I didn’t have that luxury. I frequently packed salads or power bowls like this, and Fridays were reserved for lunch out!...

Cheesy Refried Bean Burritos

July 17, 2015 by Faith 5 Comments

These Cheesy Refried Bean Burritos are a hit with kids and adults alike! And bonus, they come together fast and are freezer-friendly. When I dormed in college, my friends took it upon themselves to teach me how to cook their favorite meals. An Indian boy across the hall cooked me vegetable curry. My Italian friend would cook me her grandmother’s recipe for chicken with basil cream sauce. And my roommate’s specialty was refried bean and bell pepper burritos....

Quick Creamy Chicken Paprika Soup

I’m a planner. (I may have mentioned that here before or you may have guessed. Or you may know from personal experience, and if that’s the case and I drove you nuts with my 1001 lists all I can say is I’m sorry. Truly. But remember, like Monica’s label maker, sometimes organization comes in handy. ;) ) Anyway....
