“Better-Than-Takeout” Chinese Chicken
Chickity-China, the Chinese CHICKEN! (Name that song…) OK fine, I’ll tell you: it’s “One Week” by Barenaked Ladies, and I have vivid memories of rollerblading and rocking out to this song on the radio in my parents’ unfinished basement in the late 90s. But one thing I do NOT remember is having Chinese, ever, during […]
Sweet + Spicy Salad with Chipotle Ranch
I have been sitting on this salad recipe for way too long–OK just a few weeks, but still–and it’s time to get it out there. It’s simple but SO DANG GOOD. It’s at that level of goodness that urged me to have this for lunch 2 weeks in a row. The recipe inspiration comes from […]
Grilled Chicken with Peach Chutney Recipe
This recipe, with its juicy, plump peaches, always takes me right back to Davidson, North Carolina. Every Saturday in the summer, we would go to the Davidson Farmer’s Market, and Bennett and I would pick out the perfect crate of local, softball-sized, southern peaches. I have to say: Nothing compares to peaches from the South. […]
Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe
This meal is up there in my list of all-time favorites. It’s adapted from one of my go-to blogger moms–Wellness Mama. She came up with this concoction, and I must say, it’s a winner at our house. Bennett inhales it, along with the rest of us. I love the sweet yet salty combo of the […]
How to Bottle and Flavor Kombucha: Four Fun Recipes
This is the best part about brewing booch at home: bottling and flavoring! YOU have all the control. You can choose to use diced fruit, herbs, veggies, or you can use purees or juice to create your kombucha concoctions. I’ve even made kombufee–yes, that’s kombucha coffee (it’s not for everyone, but I like it)! The […]
How to Make Kombucha Tea: The 10-Step Recipe
I’m back and ready to talk BOOCH! I’ve been brewing my own kombucha at home for about a year now, and let’s just say: I wish I would have started sooner. It’s saved me money; I prefer the taste; and I love knowing what goes into my booch. Plus, I find it therapeutic and fun […]
The BEST Coconut Oil Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are arguably the best cookies on the planet. My husband always finds ways to slyly ask me to make these at least a couple times a week. He doesn’t always get them, as often as he asks, but when he does, he’s like a giddy little kid, sneaking them for breakfast and packing more than […]
Whole-Wheat Banana Dark Chocolate Chip Muffins
Sometimes, I wake up wanting chocolate. Dark chocolate. Bittersweet chocolate. These real-food muffins make chocolate for breakfast perfectly acceptable. Typically, when I think of muffins, I think: cupcakes for breakfast. And it’s true, most muffin recipes call for just as much sugar, if not more, than cupcakes drowned in frosting. I’m not sure about you, but […]
