There is nothing better than curling up by the fire with a cup of warm chai tea on a cool morning. Before we moved to Maine, I dreamed of these kinds of mornings, staring out the window at the beautiful woods and tranquil water. I feel so lucky now to be here, living this dream. The quiet, grey-blue, serene hues of Maine winter are enchanting…
Super simple and kid-approved, these breakfast burritos are a winning hit at our home. We love to make a double batch of these and keep some in the freezer for busy mornings on the go. We also take them on road trips. Especially early mornings to head up for skiing, they are excellent for breakfast in the car. Although there are near infinite ways to…
This potato torta is the perfect brunch food. A delicious savory potato and egg pie topped with my favorite herby green sauce. Based on the traditional Spanish torta, one bite and you’ll know why this is a beloved dish in Spain! There is something about the caramelized onions and the starchiness of the potatoes that makes a potato torta absolutely divine. Plus, I get a…
Super simple and easy to make, this tofu taco meatless meat is a staple in our home. Crumbled tofu, a little olive oil, spices, and heat. That’s it! I’ve even fooled a couple of the neighbor kids with this recipe; they swear it’s chicken. Better than Sofritas! With a little spice and sizzle, no one will know it’s tofu, except the chef! What Kind of…
This 4-ingredient mango lassi is an easy, delicious breakfast or snack. I love that this version has no added sugars, only frozen mango to sweeten it up. Sometimes, when you get this drink out to eat, it can be sugar overload. I promise you this drink is delicious all on its own, no added sugar necessary. Kids will still love it too, even without the…
Pico de gallo, the rooster’s beak, or so it directly translates from Spanish. A strange name for a tasty salsa. Also known as salsa fresca or fresh sauce. A more fitting name, but I prefer the more eclectic pico de gallo. Whatever you want to call it, this simple salsa recipe is a timeless classic. It’s easy to make and only requires a few ingredients….
I know what you are thinking, a chocolate peanut butter smoothie—that’s so basic. Trust me, this is a delicious and super healthy upgraded version loaded with plant-based protein and fiber. First off, I love that this smoothie has nothing frozen in it. This is a smoothie you can drink in the wintertime! I love smoothies, but when it’s cold out, all I want is a…
This southwest quinoa bowl is one of our go-to weeknight meals. It is super quick to whip up, delicious, and extremely nutritious. Plus, there is just something about this avocado and tomatillo sauce that my kids absolutely love. If I put it on anything, they will gobble it right up. Kids sitting down to a healthy dinner of quinoa, beans, and veggies and getting up…
This gluten free pumpkin bread is incredibly delicious, and as my eight year old son says “highly satisfying”. That is the highest marks you can earn from my little food critic! I personally am not gluten free, but my husband is eating a gluten free diet to help curb his alopecia, a type of autoimmune disease. So I’ve been extra challenged in the kitchen to…
I love a tasty spicy pepper jam. It’s one of my favorite breakfast condiments. Sweet, a little spicy—it’s such a good topping for a breakfast sandwich. Pepper jelly can be a pricey splurge in the store or at the farmers’ market. Once I realized how easy it is to make and how few peppers it takes, it just didn’t make sense to keep buying it….
