In the spirit of fall, I'm continuing my month of October with these Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies! I call these cookies because they're in the shape of your typical sweet snack, though really you could turn them into Bites, Bars, whichever you choose! These yummy cookies use the flavor of pure organic pumpkin puree, pumpkin seeds, … Continue reading Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies
It has been quite some time since I've done a product review on here- and as I came to think of it, I had no idea why I hadn't talked more about this specific Beautycounter product yet- as it's one of my absolute FAVORITES and one that I use daily! The Nourishing Cream Cleanser is … Continue reading NOURISHING CREAM CLEANSER

Football, pumpkin candles, fire pit evenings, and recipes too! This Butternut Squash Alfredo was the perfect way to kick off the month of October! I absolutely love anything and everything … Continue reading Butternut Squash Alfredo
OKAY.... now THIS was a stretch for me. And to be honest, I was actually quite nervous about making these pork chops. We don't eat a lot of meat around our home- occasionally chicken and turkey, sometimes fish, but rarely do we eat any sort of pork or red meat. So, because of that, I … Continue reading ONE POT BBQ CHERRY PORK CHOPS WITH QUINOA
I'm slowly but surely easing my way into the fall season with these tasty Toasted Coconut Paleo Banana Bread Muffins. I find that September and October are always when I'm missing home the most.

In college I had a spiralizer and LOVED it!!! There was something oddly so therapeutic about spiralizing a … Continue reading One Pot Teriyaki Chicken Zoodles

And it made this meal SO much healthier (without the heavy cream and cheese). We originally made this last year for our Superbowl party (GO PATS!!!) and included the dairy … Continue reading Slow Cooker Dairy Free Corn Chowder
Probably the most descriptive name I've ever used for a recipe, but there's so many yummy parts to this meal I had to include them all in the title!! This dinner was AWESOME! So many of my favorite flavors all in one. As the summer months wind down, this was a great end of August … Continue reading Grilled Lime Salmon with Avocado-Mango Salsa and Coconut Rice
Now that I had given up dairy for a little while, I was determined to find a substitute for my beloved ice-cream addiction (seriously missing Ben & Jerrys Cherry Garcia right now). This recipe for Pineapple "Nicecream" fulfills my ice cream craving all while keeping sugar content low, ingredients at a minimum and NO DAIRY! … Continue reading Pineapple “Nicecream”
Now THIS was a treat! Holy moly!! I found the recipe for this flatbread in the summer edition of the Magnolia Journal and decided to give it a try.
