For some reason I thought it was a great idea to clump a lot of traveling together– a 16 hour road trip to Colorado, a quick two day trip to Santa Cruz, followed by red-eye flights from coast to coast. All while 7 months pregnant 🙂 Excuse me if I’m slightly crabby, emotional, and whiny….
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bites
These little protein bites have become one of our favorites snacks/treats. We’ve made them with both almonds and cashews and love them both ways. The cashews make a much creamier “dough” and the almonds give them a little more texture. So I’d say, use what you have! Or try both and see what you prefer….
Roasted Corn & Red Pepper Salsa
Grilled corn, grilled red bell pepper, and chunky avocado make this the perfect smoky-flavored salsa for summer! I’m not sure what’s better, devouring this salsa with chips or piling it high on top of a juicy burger! We did both. And I’m a little embarrassed to admit Brett and I ate the entire bowl of…

Sweet Potato Turkey Burger Sliders
I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July weekend! We spent the holiday at my parents’ in southern Colorado enjoying small town festivities.

MIRACLE WHIP Slaw Burgers
This post is sponsored by KRAFT Foods. All opinions are my own. This pregnancy has me craving burgers several times a week. I guess that’s what happens to me when I’m pregnant with boys, I eat like one! It might just be the reason this baby boy is measuring a little large too 🙂 I love…
Mango Chicken Quinoa Salad with Honey-Lime Dressing
This salad reminds me of the short time we spent in San Juan back in February. We had an afternoon before our cruise ship departed just to walk around the town. We wandered into an open courtyard area where there were a few giant mango trees and two men using these long stick-like hooks…
Dirty Diet Coke Float
The ever so popular dirty diet coke turned into a float! The perfect way to stay cool this summer! A dirty diet coke was all the rage in Utah. Little drink stops (like Swig) started popping up everywhere, all with their own twist on the dirty diet coke (and other dirty drinks!) And by dirty…
Coconut Oil Double Chocolate Zucchini Cookies
Rich and fudgy, double chocolate zucchini cookies made with coconut oil. A great way to use up your summer zucchini 🙂 I’ve been itching to bake some cookies for the last four weeks. Not just because I’ve been craving cookies (because I certainly have been), but I’ve missed the therapeutic, relaxing magic baking works on…
