Every January I get the urge to make granola. Once the new year hits, I want a fairly healthy breakfast and snack that I can take on the go, combining my renewed ambitions to amp up my time management skills and make healthy choices. The only problem is that I love it so much that…

roasted peaches with yogurt two ways: streusel or granola
I’m getting so excited about fall, cooler temperatures, and pumpkins everywhere (yes, I’m that girl). But, before I get caught up in the seasons to come, I’m also trying to appreciate and take in all of the great things that late summer has to offer, including fresh, ripe peaches, perfect for these roasted peaches with…
pistachio coconut granola bars
Pistachio coconut granola bars are healthy, portable and packed with delicious flavors. Not to mention studded with green, yellow and purple from the colorful nuts. In the past several years I have become a huge fan of nuts. I would grab a few handfuls of raw pecans and almonds every day after I got home from track practice…

Ready or not, here it comes: back to school. My siblings are back at school, my teacher friends are back in their classrooms and campus is bustling around me. Back to school is here, whether we like it or not. To make it a little easier, I made almond oatmeal granola bars! I love granola…

10 summer salads to make for labor day weekend
I find it funny that Labor Day typically marks the end of summer. In North Carolina, the school year starts before Labor Day, and summer weather continues well past the three-day weekend. But, despite those markers, I do find that the feeling of slow summer days and lazy summer nights ends with Labor Day, so…
memorial day treats
This has been one of those weeks where I can’t determine what day of the week it is. I went to a workout class on Wednesday night and the instructor said “happy Monday, we made it through!” before realizing that it was actually Wednesday, so I’m clearly not the only one. Maybe the expectation of…
lemon poppy seed coconut macaroons
Coconut is a divisive ingredient. I am obviously strongly on team coconut, but a few members of my family are vehemently opposed to the contentious ingredient appearing in any recipe. I get it, but I will forever continue to make coconut goodies for the good of the rest of us ;) Sometimes I can hide…
