Energizing Ginger Berry Maca Smoothie (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a minute since I’ve shared a smoothie recipe. I guess it’s because they are such a common thing in my house that I think of them as sort of mundane. While I don’t have a smoothie every single day, I do usually end up making one everyday for others in my family. Of course, those are usually very basic with mostly fruits. This one however, is more my style of smoothie when I am in the mood. Now I don’t know if you’ve heard of this little health hack before but you have to try it. It’s cauliflower, and hold on just a second before you bale. Believe me, I…

Easy Vanilla Cream Custard Berry Tarts (Vegan)
It’s Pi Day tomorrow, so naturally there has to be pie right? Right. Glad we’re all on the same page here. So based on our local weather forecast, I’m thinking we’re done with snow around here. A month ago I might have been sad to see Winter go because I’ve missed having a white Winter season for so many years, but in case you haven’t noticed, I’m basically over Winter and totally ready for Spring. Yes, mid-March is the perfect time for Spring to truly arrive. This is such a random thing to notice unless you’re me, but when I got in the car yesterday and the seat was warmed from the sun…

Blueberry White Chocolate Almond Oatmeal Cookies
It’s a little bit strange getting back to being in the kitchen after many days away and traveling. As most of you know, I’ve been in San Diego for the past week. Ironically enough, my father had booked tickets to a concert in Spokane the day I returned so it feels like even longer since I’ve been back to my typical daily routine. I’m not going to lie, it’s been really nice to get a change of scenery. On the other hand, I do like a little routine to help me stay more productive, so a mixture of the two is perfect. Another nice thing about traveling this time of year is escaping…

Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes
Have I ever mentioned that I have a major thing for berries….. Yeah, I think I have said that a few times in the past but just in case you missed this little fact, it’s a pretty extreme thing actually. Like, can we just live in a world where berries are everywhere all year round? That would be lovely. And my berry addiction is one thing, but I have a few family members who have an even bigger thing for pancakes. Whenever there are pancakes they disappear pretty fast around here. That’s why I love to make them with whole ingredients as a more balanced breakfast for everyone, and especially the kiddos who…

Summer Berry, Sweet Corn, & Basil Quinoa Salad + Seedy Vinaigrette (Vegan+GF)
I’m not sure how you guys are going to feel about me sharing a salad today. I was really kind of hoping you would be excited about it but I also realize that not everyone considers a salad something to get hyped about. What if it has tons of fresh berries and delicious seeds though, does that make it better? Well, at least I’m pretty excited to share it with you. I sometimes get cravings mid-week for something light and fresh to get through the rest of the week. I don’t know, just something about Wednesday says salad time to me, what do you think? I feel like this salad celebrates some of…

Chilean Guava Berry & Candied Lemon Tart (gluten free+vegan)
So how was your last week/weekend guys? Okay, so you’re probably wanting to know what in the world a Chilean guava berry is. Also know as “New Zealand cranberries”, they are a berry that is native to South America and they grow all through the Andes where I live. Here they are called “murta” and they taste like, well you’d kind of just have to try one, but some people say they taste like apples, pineapple, or pears and I’ve even heard some say that they taste like vanilla and cotton candy. Personally, I think they taste a little like a pine tree and strawberry had a baby, but they’re very unique to…

Berry Coconut Breakfast Smoothie Bowls (Vegan+GF)
Can I tell you a little bit about these bowls please? I’m just so excited ’cause I know your going to love them! Am I the only one who has noticed the smoothie bowl craze taking over the internet? Well whatever the case, it is and everyone is cranking out the most gorgeous and colorful creations of fruitiness so I couldn’t help but start to feel left out, right? To be completely honest, the first time I saw a smoothie bowl I thought it was a pretty lame idea and I didn’t see myself ever wanting to make one. I mean, smoothies are supposed to be what they claim, smooth, so that they can…
