Super Nutritious Eggs & Toast Forget everything you’ve learned that eggs and bread are “bad” for you for a moment. Also, forget about the idea of following a formal recipe, because recipes are over-rated. (Unless it’s a baked good, then measurements are necessary 😉 Now let me introduce you to my favorite embarrassingly easy, yet completely satisfying comfort food meal.  It’s perfect for those moments when you can’t decide what you want to eat, or […]

The taste, or heck, even the thought of a margarita on the rocks automatically makes me happier and a lot more care-free.  Something about the sweet-sour-salty combo and the fact that it’s a summertime drink makes the margarita the perfect cocktail, in my opinion.

Pretty breakfasts taste better. That’s a fact. But let’s diverge from the typical gluten and sugar heavy sweets we associate with breakfast and explore a different morning treat, that’s just as beautiful, and just as delicious. The breakfast tart! A heart, crunchy, slightly sweet granola shell. Creamy, probiotic-packed, dairy-free yoga. Fresh, seasonal fruit. And your favorite toppings, if you want to take this meal to the next level! The only sugar comes from the natural […]
