Hawaii Vacation Part II
Hi guys! I am back today with Part II of our Hawaii Vacation recap. If you missed Part I, you can read that here. I was hoping to have this post up at the end of last week, but unfortunately my blog was hacked đ I apologize if you were trying to access this site…
Hawaii Vacation at the Andaz at Wailea: Part I
We had the most incredible vacation in Maui at the Andaz at Wailea and I am so excited to share all of the details with you! We set off bright and early on Monday morning. I was hoping to sleep on the plane, but I was so darn excited that it was impossible. After a…
Spiced Roasted Almonds
These Spiced Roasted Almonds are a healthier alternative to prepackaged candied nuts. They’re perfect as a healthy snack or party appetizer. I hate how quickly retailers try to make us forget summer. The stores were filled with Halloween decorations weeks ago and soon they will be shoving those items out to make room for the…
Healthy Travel Snacks
We are off to beautiful Hawaii! I can’t believe this trip is finally here! We have a long flight ahead of us, so I knew I had to pack lots of snacks to hold us over until we land in Maui. This girl can’t handle being cooped up on a plane with a hungry belly…and…
Challah French Toast
Sometimes there is nothing better than comfort foods, especially comfort foods that evoke wonderful memories. Growing up, my mom always bought challah (a traditional Jewish egg bread) from a store in Brookline, MA called Cheryl Anns’. Their challah is THE BEST in the world. I swear to it! We love it because it is particularly eggy, soft,…
Charred Corn and Heirloom Tomato Salsa
This Charred Corn and Heirloom Tomato Salsa packs so much summer flavor into just one bite. By broiling the vegetables, you end up with a delicious charred texture that really brings out the flavor of each ingredient. It is the perfect dip to chow down on while you are firing up the grill this summer….
Grilled Romaine with Lemon and Parmesan
Chances are you’ll be grilling this weekend, am I right? So why not grill something a little outside the box…something that is sure to please everyone’s tastebuds: Grilled Romaine with Lemon and Parmesan! The first time I tried grilled romaine was in Philadelphia during college. The food scene in Philly is incredible and I feel so lucky that…
Homemade Whole Wheat Bagels
These Homemade Whole Wheat Bagels are one of the most popular recipes on my site. Have no fear, they’re much easier to make than you’d expect! The recipe makes 8 bagels, but they freeze and reheat well, so you can eat a few now and save the rest for later. There are some foods I believe…
Three New (to me) Kitchen Tools I Love
When Travis and I moved in together about one year ago, we discovered that we had double of almost everything. Both of us had very well-stocked kitchens on our own (spices, vinegars, knives, pans, cutlery, and kitchen tools), so when we moved in together we ended up choosing the “better” of all of our duplicates…
Mango Coconut Smoothie
Pretend you’re on a tropical island with this delicious Mango Coconut Smoothie recipe. It’s dairy-free, vegan, and protein packed to keep you going. Travis and I have a trip planned to Hawaii in about a month, so I have everything tropical on my mind. Mangoes were on sale at Whole Foods this weekend for 4/$5,…
