With the heat of summer, I have been on a big smoothie and banana ice cream kick lately. More often than not, the ingredient combinations that I throw together produce a pretty unappetizing brown color. Although I have found some of the ugliest food to be some of the most delicious, I also believe that…
“Cheesy” Tofu and Spinach Scramble
If you are like me and you grew up eating scrambled eggs fairly regularly for breakfast, the idea of tossing scrambled tofu into the mix may seem a bit odd. However, I strongly urge anyone who is vegan or simply looking to add more variety their diet to give this a try! Not only does this dish almost…
The Banana Bread that Started it All
Nine years ago, my fourteen-year-old self decided that loving food meant I needed to know how to cook it.

Banana Ice Cream
Growing up, I was never much of a fan of dairy. I was the child (and teenager) who hated milk, and preferred my pizza without cheese. I did, however, have a pretty big obsession with rich and creamy ice cream, preferably loaded with chocolaty goodness and/or peanut butter. Delicious ice cream doesn’t have to…
Oven-Baked Oatmeal for One
As I have mentioned several times before, oatmeal is one of my favorite comforting foods, regardless of the season. I always love experimenting with new flavor combinations and methods of enjoying my oats in order to create the most delicious flavors possible. To achieve a balanced meal, I love adding a combination of fruits, protein, and nourishing…
My Go-To Green Smoothie (Only 4 Ingredients!)
After a very long, frigid, and snow-filled winter, I am finally getting back on my smoothie kick! Although I have had ambition to create more smoothie recipes for a while now, my body had been craving more warm, cooked foods to combat the weather. Now that Spring has arrived, the temperatures are warming up (if you…
Warm and Cozy Breakfast Quinoa
I used to believe that nothing could beat a big bowl of oatmeal when it came to warming and comforting breakfast foods. Due to its various health and nutrient benefits and limitless topping options, oatmeal has been my go-to for years (especially during these frigid winter months!). I recently decided to get creative with one of my favorite “savory” ingredients, quinoa, by…
