4-Minute 2-Ingredient Homemade Creamy (or Crunchy!) Peanut Butter
Add peanuts then salt to food processor. Blend for four minutes. Bam, peanut butter. I mean, really. Does it get any easier? C'mon. Don't believe me? I made a video for you just in case you doubted me. And because videos are fun. This one has bloopers at the beginning AND the end. Cause bloopers and laughing are the best parts. Why skimp?? (Don't forget the rest of the post below the video!) … [Read more...]
Creamy Avocado Basil Sauced Spaghetti
Avocados are oh so trendy. I really feel like they're "cool". Eating them, taking pictures of them... it's like a universally loved and accepted food right now. I really feel like if an avocado was in high school, she'd win homecoming queen. So hot right now. They're everywhere: mashed straight up (with a 'lil salt of course) on toast, in guacamole (obbbviously), baked with an egg cracked inside, in smoothies, in faux chocolate pudding, or … [Read more...]
Intern Quinoa Salad with Pan Seared Salmon and Balsamic Greens
Prepare yourself. Might be one of my most fav food pics I've taken! If that pic doesn't make you want to eat this you might be blind. What you see above isn't even the completed dish, but it certainly could be a meal on its own! (All that's missing from the recipe is the salmon on top.) If you're fan of plant-based/vegan food, eat your heart out! (Just sub your favorite liquid sweetener in for the 1 teaspoon honey that's in the balsamic … [Read more...]
Kim’s 2-Ingredient Mango Ice Cream
Two ingredients. Frozen mango + coconut cream = the most delicious, creamy, refreshing, amazing, ice cream that's just basically screaming "summatime!!!!" But first let's play a little game. Which one of these is not like the others? Really hard, I know. A bunch of short Italians (four of my cousins with my aunt and uncle) and then this tall, gorgeous, fair skinned, light haired beauty! Well that beauty is Kim. … [Read more...]
Roasted Carrots with Lemon-Cumin-Honey Glaze
Just look at these carrots! All cute and ready to be roasted. I found them at our local natural/organic grocery store on a day where I went shopping only knowing I need about 6 different veggies, but I just wanted to go and see what looked good. Sometimes I write out a super detailed shopping list (this happens most of the time) and I plan out exactly what I want to buy. With produce, I often get there to find that what I wanted looks sad … [Read more...]
Coconut Refresh Smoothie
I'm feeling super inspired today. Well maybe not just today, but lately. My path is getting clearer and clearer despite so many unknowns. Um, ironic much? Is that even the right use of the word ironic? I feel like the other day I heard we use that word incorrectly all the time... anybody else know what I'm talking about? Do you remember when your career path/passion became clear? Are you still figuring it out? No matter where you are, … [Read more...]
Fresh Tomato Sauce
This is my favorite way to make fresh tomato sauce. The flavors are incredible: sweet, savory, umami (yes, tomatoes have umami!), fresh, Italian, summery. You start by roasting the tomatoes in the oven which makes them sweet. Because of this, you you can actually make this sauce year-round, even when tomatoes aren't sweet or in season. Thankfully we don't have to worry about that right now since it's summer!! The weather's been in the 90's … [Read more...]
Paleo Banana Blender Bread
Though I'm not strictly paleo and vow to never even remotely follow any diet again, I still cook and eat a lot of things that would be considered paleo because I do like the idea of eating whole, real food. Enter Paleo Banana Blender Bread! … [Read more...]
Ready, Set, Spinach
Looking for a super quick, delicious, healthy side dish? Ready… set… spinach. Reality, folks. I make dishes like this all the time. Sometimes I feel like I have to share elaborate, complicated, fancy dishes on the blog. Maybe it's the overachiever/ perfectionist in me that feels like something has to be over-the-top or perfect to be well-received. But it doesn't. After all, it's not how I cook all the time! Whose standard am I following? … [Read more...]
Mexican Braised Beef
I talked in my last post about a recent trip to Tulum, Mexico for the wedding of two amazing people. I shared a few moments Dan captured from the dance floor...which deserves one last mention below. Also because that trip inspired this dish too. … [Read more...]
Simple Sautéed Plantain Slices
Wanna know what lesson I most recently learned? Take more videos! I learned this for the first time when I studied abroad in Australia. Somehow, I forgot. I lived there with two awesome ladies, Lauren & Melissa. I think it was Lauren who said, "we must take videos", and she was right. The videos are so much more fun to watch after the fact than looking at the pictures!! Hearing people's voices, hearing the way they say things, seeing … [Read more...]
Roasted Eggplant with Miso Dressing
This is one of my favorite creations as of late. I've made it time and time again. Mostly because my husband claimed he didn't like eggplant... until this dish. Do you ever feel like you make the same things over and over? Or at least you cook with the same flavors over and over? I sure do. This is such a simple dish, only 5 ingredients (minus oil, salt and pepper) and bursting with different flavors. At least they're different than my … [Read more...]
Shredded Chicken & Tomatillo Stew
This dish uses cilantro. Let's talk about that for a second. I used to hate cilantro. Yuck. To me, it tasted like the smell of dirty socks, sweaty armpits, or B.O. (B.O.... always makes me think of this Seinfeld.) But it kept showing up in little bits in my food. A little in salsa, and I love salsa. A little in my guacamole, and I love guac. A little in some Thai food, and holy crap I love Thai food. Now, suddenly, I don't loathe … [Read more...]

Blueberries. A quintessential summer fruit that is delicious, sweet, and packed with nutritious goodness. Here's my version of my favorite pre-paleo blueberry pie … [Read more...]
