The fall and winter vibes are hitting hard in my house. I feel like I'm constantly chopping apples, sipping pumpkin spice coffee, or washing my hands with peppermint-scented soap. I love this time of year. It's both Christmasy and Fall-y and beautiful and cool. I wish every month of the year could be like this.… Continue reading Sausage & Apple Hash

Smoked Salmon Salad with Lemon Pepper Dressing
I'm living for weird and different salads this summer. Another thing I'm living for? Making my own salad dressings.

My preferred dressing of choice is a… Continue reading Smoked Salmon Salad with Lemon Pepper Dressing

Everything from squash to cucumbers, tomatoes… Continue reading Chicken Bruschetta Zoodles
Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
In all my years on this planet, I've only made my own pesto once. Once! I've always just settled for the jarred stuff at the grocery store, not realizing how easy, and probably better for you, it would be to just make it myself. No preservatives, no weird ingredients you can't pronounce, and a good… Continue reading Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
