These Mint Chocolate Energy Bites are simple, healthy, and reminiscent of the Thin Mints Girl Scout Cookies we all know and love. They’re the perfect bite to satisfy your sweet tooth or serve as an afternoon pick-me-up! I know I’ve professed my love for cookies recently, but can we take a minute to discuss how…

King Cake Cookies (Only 4 ingredients!)
These easy, 4-ingredient king cake cookies are soft, cinnamon-y, and perfectly festive for Mardi Gras. Laissez les bon temps rouler! This might mean I’m a bit too simplistic, but I think cookies are my favorite dessert. I mean, yes, ice cream makes my heart sing. I always appreciate the effort and love that goes into…
Easy Cheesy Greek Quinoa Bake
You guys, I had high hopes for this recipe we made a few weeks ago. The recipe is from a cookbook for toddlers, so surely my toddler gobbled it up, right? Wrong. He ate a tiny bite of the quinoa alone, but he wasn’t feeling the actual vegetables in it. Story of my life! We are…
Almond Butter, Oat, & Chocolate Chip Snack Bites + WIAW
I have to apologize to you again. (This seems to have become a habit for me.) All of the recipes I’ve come up with recently are for sweets/desserts. We’ve been cooking a lot of our old stand-by meals lately, and when I say “we,” I really mean “Mark.” I’ve mentioned before that my pregnancy sweet…
Mint-Chocolate Matcha Chia Pudding
As difficult as it’s been, I’ve been trying to lay off the sweets during my pregnancy. Says the woman who bought cinnamon rolls and 2 slices of cake at the grocery last weekend! I’ve always had a pretty big sweet tooth, but I’ve become pretty good about keeping healthier sweets on-hand (such as these or…
Virgin Mango Lime Margaritas
Even if I weren’t pregnant—and even if I could consume all the frozen margaritas I desired—I’d be lying if I acted like Cinco de Mayo (or any Mexican dinner night) wasn’t about the glorious, flavorful food. This pregnant, food-obsessed woman can’t wait to bite into a crunchy taco shell and slather homemade guacamole (with extra…
Herbed Goat Cheese, Mozzarella, & Tomato Grilled Cheese
I’m generally a big fan of April. Flowers are in bloom, the weather is still cool and spring-like, it’s Mark’s and my anniversary (#6 this year!), and it’s usually the kickoff of fun outdoor events that carry on into the summer. But this year, I’m especially fond of April because I’ve learned it’s also National…
St. Patrick’s Day 2014 + Cheater’s Shepherd’s Pie
Hi friends! I hope everybody is wearing their green and sipping a frosty, festive-colored beer for me! 🙂 Even though I have just a small bit of Irish ancestry, I love any excuse to dress up, eat delicious food, and party with good friends. Though today I was back at work, this past weekend was…
WIAW + Shredded Kale, Brussels Sprouts, Pomegranate, Pistachio, and Walnut Salad
Happy Wednesday, my dears! Today is monumental because I’m actually posting a recipe for you guys. It’s the first recipe of the year—and also the first since mid-November. I’m ashamed. 🙁 My shame aside, do you remember that salad I talked about at Thanksgiving? Well, I discovered a few (bad) photos on my camera, and…
Easy But Elegant: Pear, Brie, and Arugula Panini
Does anybody else out there worship and rely on sandwiches the way I do? Sandwiches are much like salads and soups, in that you can be as creative as you wish, and it’s going to work out . (Sometimes magically.) Whether it’s an oeey-gooey grilled cheese (dipped in tomato soup—it’s required!), a classic BLT, chicken…
