Self-Care Tip: How to Prep for a Healthy Lunch

March 21, 2022 by Claire Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you, but since having kids, lunchtime is my healthy eating enemy. For breakfast, it’s easy enough to make a bowl of oatmeal or throw some granola, yogurt and fruit in a bowl. For dinner, we’ve often prepped something on the weekend or there’s time to pick up a rotisserie chicken or scramble some eggs.

But during the work week, I’m crunched for time and it’s far too easy to make the same old PB&J with a banana on the side. My kids love it, but my mid-afternoon energy levels and palate don’t.… Read More »

Quinoa & Kale Pilaf with Quail Eggs (GF + Vegetarian)

July 31, 2021 by Claire Leave a Comment

kale_quinoa_pilaf_bowl_photoHow’s that for a weird combo?! And no, I’m not going to apologize for the crappy photo–maybe in a few months or years I’ll have time for real food photography again, but right now, a quick snap on my phone will have to do.

Carrot Cake Muffins (Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free)

January 26, 2020 by Claire Leave a Comment

gluten-free carrot cake muffins title shotA couple of weeks ago, for Eric’s 25th birthday, I made a gluten-free carrot cake with loads of brown sugar, molasses, nuts, raisins, shredded coconut, and of course cream cheese frosting. It was this recipe and ohhh so delicious. (I may have scraped out the frosting bowl with a spoon after decorating it… don’t judge me.)

Anyways, it reminded me that I really don’t make carrot cake enough! Because every time I have a piece, I’m reminded how much I love it. Glutenous or not, loaded with nuts and dried fruit or not, fluffy or fudge-y, I don’t discriminate. I’m up for any kind of carrot cake any day.… Read More »

pumpkin-baked-oatmeal-cups-1Happy Wednesday, friends. I’m off on my weekly coffee-date-with-myself to work on digital marketing stuff, so it is indeed a happy morning. Time to myself is very valuable now that I’m a mom! And an almond milk mocha and slice of pumpkin bread don’t hurt, either.

But at any rate, first I’m popping in with an easy and delicious recipe for you!
