The countdown to Thanksgiving is on! As a foodie, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It is a day centered around giving thanks to everything we have and celebrating all of our joys in life over a delicious meal with our closest friends and family. My love for eating all the eats on Thanksgiving…
Side Dishes
Cabbage Slaw
As I write this, it’s Sunday night and my bed time is creeping up… I don’t generally pre write my blog posts but this is an absolute must. Tomorrow, meaning Monday, I literally have every hour of my day planned from 4:00am until I go to bed. I know I will be working late tomorrow with a packed schedule so…
Roasted Cabbage Wedges
Happy Wednesday! I had to think a bit to remember what day of the week it is. I’ve been in Vegas since Sunday and have only been averaging about four hours of sleep a night. I can’t complain though, because the experiences and memories I have made since being here is totally worth it. For…
Shredded Brussels Sprout and Spinach Salad with Avocado Dressing
One of the easiest and most effective ways to get more vegetables into your diet is to prep them in bulk. When you have vegetables in the fridge ready to go at any time, you can easily grab them for lunch, snacks or dinner without having to spend time cooking them each day. Some of my…
Mango Salsa
Oh, happy Monday! I am one who actually really likes Mondays. It’s the day you get to set the intention for the rest of the week. It’s the day to get back on track if you fell off over the weekend, it’s the day to plan the other days of the week to conquer them….

Raw Beet & Apple Salad
Happy Monday! I don’t know about you, but I could use a day to recover from the weekend. It was one of those weekends that we didn’t really have set plans but we ended up doing literally everything. Ever have one of those? It was one thing to the next to the next to the…
Roasted “Cheesey” Asparagus & July 4th Menu
The planner in me generally means that I am planning the weekend (food specifically) days in advanced. This weekend will take a little extra planning because it is a long holiday weekend and I am not just worried about me. We will be spending the weekend at my family’s cabin with the rest of the…
Medley Tomato Salad
I can’t believe July 4th is already next week. The older I get the quicker time goes by and I know how cliché that sounds. When I was younger I would be so annoyed when adults would say that because all I wanted was to be an adult and do adult things but it seemed…
Asparagus & Fingerling Potato Salad
Sunday blues are a feeling I am sure many of us are familiar with. We love Sundays because we have one more day to the weekend, but as the day goes on we slowly start dreading for the day to end because that means Monday is that much closer. Cue in the Sunday blues. Mondays…
