Stuff I’m Into: Road Trip Essentials

Who else is excited for the upcoming holiday three day weekend?  A lot of us are planning road trips so I thought that this would be a great time to share with you what I think are the road trip essentials. [T-shirt / Jeans / Leopard flats] Comfort chic outfit.  Wearing comfy clothes is key and a classic t-shirt and jeans (or jean shorts) does the trick for me.  Not only is that comfort at its finest moment but it’s an easy outfit to put together.  Plus it’s a great casual look if you’re meeting up with people at your destination.  (In …

Avocado Egg in a Bagel

It’s only Wednesday but I’ve already got “weekend breakfast” on the brain. A “weekend breakfast” is the kind of breakfast that you indulge in on a day when you don’t care about calories (because we all know that calories don’t count on weekends).  Maybe your Saturday morning will involve some fluffy pancakes, or a huge stack of waffles, or even some yummy apple pie (there’s no judging here).  Last weekend I decided to combine two of my favorite breakfasts into one fantabulous meal. This meal is part egg in a bread/hole (depending on what you call it), part avocado toast, and …

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

I don’t like change. After about a year of careful thinking and planning I bought a new car.  To be honest with you, if I could have kept my 11 year old Honda CRV with 145,000 miles on it forever then I probably would have.  The reality is that I have a long commute to work, it was old, and it was time to upgrade.  Change can be a good thing, especially when it comes to buying a shiny new ride, except getting that new ride means that I had to make a big decision and I’m not good at that. I …

Here’s how I’m getting ready for Summer: Summer Foods.  Bye, bye heavy comfort foods and hello, fresh fruits and veggies.  I especially can’t wait for corn on the cob to make an appearance at the grocery store.  It’s one of my favorites so I apologize in advance if I make a ton of recipes with corn in them.  This corn guacamole is one of my favorite appetizers and would be a great …

Coconut Almond Smoothie

Hello Monday and hello new smoothie recipe. By show of virtual hands, are you a smoothie person?  I could drink a smoothie every day and be a happy camper.  (I could also eat a bagel every day and be in heaven, but I digress.)  My husband is not a fan of smoothies.  No biggie.  Thankfully it’s super easy to whip up a smoothie for one. I tend to make the same smoothie flavor for a few weeks and then I move on to another one which becomes my new favorite.  Lately I’ve been into dairy free smoothies so I came …
