I mentioned a few posts ago that I was going to share a fun St. Patrick’s Day recipe with you. Since I have a lot of Irish in my heritage, I love St. Patrick’s Day and plan on celebrating it in my classroom each year. These pretzels are very easy to make and quite fun. […]
I have mentioned before on the blog that I am a morning person. It doesn’t necessarily mean I always like waking up, but once I’m up I’m awake. I usually have enough time in the morning to make something like oatmeal, eggs, or a smoothie and enjoy it for five minutes. However, sometimes I’m running […]
In celebration/mourning of my last day of winter break, I made a big bowl of pesto pasta. My mom and I cannot get enough of it and thanks to our growing basil plant, we can often indulge our pasta cravings. This recipe is adapted from one in Italy but I changed some ingredients (different nuts […]
I like to call these bars, “Always Bars” because they can really be eaten at anytime of the day. They have protein (oats, eggs, chia seeds), fruit (apple sauce, coconut, optional: raisins), and fun (dark chocolate, cinnamon). They are not sugar free, but most of the sugar is naturally occurring in the dark […]
Well, the title has pretty much all the ingredients in it so for all you foodies, go ahead and get cooking. But if you would like some instruction on how I made this simple and filling grilled cheese, follow along for some quick instructions. Avocado and Egg Grilled Cheese 1/4 and avocado 1 whole egg […]
The roommates like to tease me about my kitchen concoctions. Quinoa was introduced to their vocabulary this past month and they had a hard time believing that it is a “protein-packed grain that dates back to the Indians.” Man, sometimes I really really really wish I was a Nutrition and Dietetics major…darn Chemistry classes. Anyways, […]
After trying many, many times to make my own hot chocolate and utterly failing (unsweetened cocoa is bitter) I have finally found the perfect blend. Not to mention it consists of only two ingredients and no added sugar. I really encourage you to try this recipe as store bought hot chocolate “powders” are loaded with […]
I am here to tell you the tale of a pumpkin latte that tasted so good but I sadly cannot recreate. Yesterday I told you I would share a recipe with you that I tried and it did not turn out. However, when my friend made the lattes, they were amazing. Just let the picture do […]
I am home for the first time in three months for Thanksgiving break! I am very thankful my school gave us the whole week off and today I celebrated by using a whole can of pumpkin to make three pumpkin recipes. Gosh, I miss having a kitchen. {The good news is, two out of the […]
I had my first baking experience in college this past Friday and it was hilarious. Obviously, my first thought was to document it for my blog. It all started Monday when my friend was constantly reminding us that her birthday was Friday. Since it was fall break this weekend, most of our friends were gone […]
