The Bread and Breakfast Here we are, on the second Sunday of March Maple Madness. Here I am, already wishing it was going to last longer. Why? Because this week’s recipe has me seeing maple in a whole new light. When most of us think of maple, we think of pancakes. Fluffy, stacked as high as your head, indulgent …

On and Off Again: Turkey Lasagna Rolls
Throughout the years, pasta and I have had an on and off relationship. Growing up, we ate it simply: with sauce, and maybe a meatball or two, if Mom was feeling fancy. By adolescence, jarred sauce and elbow macaroni had gotten to be a bit old. In college, I went back in on the pasta …
Small Victories: Getting Toasty, Five Ways
Flash back 15 months ago. I was done. Done, with what I thought the weight loss journey of a lifetime. Over a year and a half; losing weight, getting thinner. At the end of this span of time, I looked back and thought, “Hot damn, 60 pounds down.” My entire journey, summarized and defined by …
Oats, Five Ways: Trying to Bite My Tongue
Here I go again, breaking a promise to myself. This morning, I woke up and started thinking about this weekend’s blog. I promised myself, I’d stay on topic. Oats. That’s it. No Rants. (I’m not trying to be known as Erin: The Girl Who Complains About The Fitness Industry and It’s Myths…Who Cooks Sometimes) But, …
Short and Simple: Can Carbs Be “Clean”?
Friends, I’ve fallen off of the bandwagon. Hard. Flash back three and a half months ago. There I was, beginning the school year, starting grad school, running a business in the middle of event season, writing/creating content regularly, and sleeping for a good four hours a night. On top of that, I was running 20 …
Homemade Honey Roasted Peanut Butter: Standing Up to the Man
Friends, it’s time we head back to the lab. In the past, we’ve done cookie experiments, international Kit Kat experiments, muffin experiments, macaroon experiments, puff pastry experiments…you name it. Well, today, you’ll need to break out your notepads, pencils, and goggles for yet another test. This time, we’re testing one of my favorite things…in the …
Peanut Butter and Jelly Granola: Playing Selfish
I know, I know. You’re rolling your eyes at me today. Like every other weekend, as you feverishly typed in this site address, which you clearly do on regular basis, you were excited to see something new. Something original. Something I haven’t been doing at least monthly for awhile now. Well, my friends, this week is …
German Chocolate Black Bean Brownies: Trickery at it’s Finest
Today, folks, we’re getting a bit sneaky. Let me explain. For the past few weeks, I’ve shared with you a couple of clean eating, but seemingly indulgent treats, to keep us on track. But, when looking at the Apple Raisin Walnut Oatmeal Bread, Mango Coconut Chocolate Granola, and the PB&J Energy Balls, it’s been pretty obvious …
PB&J Energy Balls: Staying on Track
Folks, I’ve made a decision. The rest of the month of January is going to be dedicated to finding balance. I started last week with my Coconut Mango Chocolate Granola, and now, it must continue. After looking at the recent additions to my baking bucket list, I realized that they all had something in common: …
Mango Coconut Chocolate Granola: Coming to Terms
Hey you! I know who you are! You’re the guy/gal who swore off all junk food when making your New Year’s Resolution last week. You’ve now been eating nothing but lettuce and carrots, like a rabbit, for a week. Late at night, as you rub your rumbling tummy, you’ve found yourself wondering about questions such …
