Chopped salads are popping up all over the interweb. And every time I see one I think to myself, “Ooh I’ve got to make one!” I love chopped salads. Forkfuls of finely chopped romaine lettuce loaded with lots of yummy toppings and plenty of dressing are just the best kind of salads. Don’t you…

Lemon Pepper & Feta Roasted Asparagus
How do you like your asparagus? I almost always prefer it roasted, prepared with some extra virgin olive oil and a little salt and pepper. No matter how you like it, it’s a super easy and healthy side to serve and I just can’t get enough of it come spring time. This time I decided…
Spicy Jalapeño Tuna Patties
How in the world is it the first of May? Pretty soon summer will be here. Before I know it my baby will be one. Our soon-to-be days filled with sno cones, playing at the pool, and barbecues will zoom right on by. And suddenly, I’ll be dropping my three year old off at preschool….
Blueberry Avocado Green Smoothie
Next time you make a green smoothie, pretty pretty pretty please throw an avocado in it. You’ll get the creamiest green smoothie ever. And you’ll love it. It might sound a little weird but it’s surprisingly really good–you can’t even taste the avocado. It’s simply there to add a thick and creamy texture. And…
Whole Wheat Banana Cinnamon Pancakes
Last week I caught some sort of stomach bug. Nothing sat well with me, I was nauseous, and nothing ever sounded good. (And no, I’m not pregnant.) It wasn’t great timing for me as I was prepping for my half marathon on Saturday. I ate bland, snacky foods all week to try and calm my stomach….
Coconut Pecan Quinoa Granola
I’m a little bit obsessed with this granola. It’s perfectly sweet and nutty, made with natural ingredients, and it’s packed with protein. When I’m not just munching on it as a snack, I’m making these awesome yogurt parfaits {keep scrolling down}. I kept this recipe really simple, not a lot of mix-ins, but you can…
Coconut Lime Baked Salmon {Three Ingredients}
Are you guys sick of me saying how much I love coconut oil? Because I’m gonna say it again. I really do kind of love it. Not only did I use it on this super easy and delicious three ingredient Coconut Lime Salmon but I made more cookies with it yesterday (I know,…
Flu Fighting Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup
Last week my husband got hit with the flu bug just a couple of days before we were supposed to head out of town with friends for the weekend (we escaped the cold for some sunshine!) He woke up feeling the achy bones, chills, a scratchy throat, and was terribly congested. The worst right? We…
Homemade Teething Biscuits
My little guy cut his first two teeth just over a week ago. Some babies are champs with teething, but mine, not so much. Miles was constantly gnawing on his hands {or anything he could get is mouth on, including me}, he was cranky, refused to nap, got sick, and just wasn’t his sweet, happy…
Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken
After a week full of sweet and indulgent treats, I thought we could all use something on the lighter side today. This zesty Lemon Garlic Chicken is just that, and is really too easy for words. It’s great served with some brown rice and veggies or sliced up and served over a fresh…
