I can’t believe this week is finally here! It’s our wedding week! Travis and I have been engaged for about one year and a half, and after so many months of wedding planning and thinking about our special day, we are both thrilled that it’s here. We are getting married in Boston (where I grew…
Breakfast
Healthier Challah French Toast with Caramelized Bananas
I am a self-proclaimed carboholic, mainly due to my love of bread. As you guys should know by now, my healthy outlook is all about balance, and so even though I eat bread on a regular basis, I only eat healthy, whole-grain varieties. Challah is my favorite bread of all time. When made correctly, challah…

Delicious Gluten-Free Lemon-Blueberry Pancakes
Hey, hey! Hope you guys are having a great week. I couldn’t wait to share these Gluten-Free Lemon-Blueberry Pancakes with you! When it comes to breakfast, we usually eat the same two things over and over again, just because it’s easy and efficient. Although on weekends I am more inclined to try a new recipe because we…
Passover Matzoh Granola with Honey and Raisins
This will be the first year in as long as I can remember that I am not going home to Boston for Passover. I’ve always loved Passover (despite the whole not eating bread for 8 days thing) because, for me, it’s always meant a big gathering of friends and family. On the first two nights…
Whole Wheat Lemon Buttermilk Pancakes with Blueberry Compote
It took me a couple of tries to perfect these Whole Wheat Lemon Buttermilk Pancakes and I was excited when I finally nailed them last week! I am a big-time lover of anything lemon + blueberry (like my Whole Wheat Lemon-Blueberry Muffins), and if you are too, you’re gonna LOVE these pancakes. At first I tried making these pancakes with…
Vitamin-Packed Green Smoothie
Monday night I came home from work and our apartment was HOT. I knew Travis wanted a “real” meal for dinner, but cooking was the last thing I felt like doing. I had just picked up lots of fresh produce at the grocery store, and the only thing that sounded appealing to me was a cold, fresh…
Avocado Toast with Strawberries
I almost feel silly writing an entire blog post about this Avocado Toast recipe, but the combination is so darn good I just had to share. I’m not sure why it took so long for Avocado Toast to become the hot new trend. Avocados taste amazing and they’re loaded with nutrients (hello healthy fats!). I love eating avocado toast for…
Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Frittata
Hi guys! Happy Friday! This week fleeeewww by for me, and I am more than ready for the weekend. Besides a date night with Travis and a friend’s birthday, we don’t have too many plans, so I am really looking forward to just relaxing on the couch for a few hours. I thew together this incredibly delicious breakfast…
Whole Wheat Apple Honey Muffins
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is on the horizon, so I thought it would be a good idea to bake something festive this weekend. It is customary to eat apples and honey together on Rosh Hashanah because it represents a “sweet new year.” I was definitely in the mood for something sweet yesterday morning,…
How to Make Steel Cut Overnight Oats
I love steel cut oats because they tend to fill me up better than regular rolled oats. The only problem is that they take at least 20 minutes to cook, which isn’t ideal on a weekday when you’re trying to get out the door in time for work. But did you know that you can actually…
Healthy Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread
There is something about the beginning of fall that makes me dream about warm freshly baked breads. Well, to be honest, I’ve been fantasizing about zucchini bread for a few weeks now, but it has been too hot to even think about turning on my oven. On Monday morning I saw I had three lonely zucchinis…
