Sunflower Basil Pesto
This easy recipe is economical, loaded with flavor, and ideal for families with a nut allergy. Plus the pesto freezes well, so you can enjoy the versatile condiment all year long! If I were to choose just one condiment to get me through the summer, it would be pesto. The fresh seasonal sauce can…
Crunchy Chicken Poppy Seed Slaw
We’re gearing up for our first graduation around here! That on the heels of last weekend’s big garden tour — over 500 people came to our home over the course of the weekend. (Major props to our sons who couldn’t shoot hoops or do much of anything else in our yard on the first sunny…
Honey Yogurt Poppy Seed Dressing
Nothing screams “Summer is almost here!” like red, ripe, juicy strawberries. (Side note: This reminds me of one of my sons’ favorite childhood storybooks, The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear. If you have toddlers in your life and like to read aloud to them, this is a fun one!) But…
Super Healthy Nut & Seed Bread
Two slices of this deliciously hearty, satisfying bread and a side of fruit is one of my new favorite ways to start the day. I’ve been enjoying it on and off for several months now and, from the start, what surprised me the most was how long it kept me feeling truly full. This recipe…
Toasty Peanut Butter & Jelly Oatmeal
Though it may not sound like the most glamorous food choice, there’s something timeless and just plain satisfying about a good old peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I’m pretty sure I’ll never outgrow them. (Anyone else with me?) But for those who may not love the mixture between two slices of bread, the sweet and…
Bircher Muesli Jars with Chia
When tasked with developing a recipe for a new-to-me product, my first step is often pretty logical. I simply swap it with similar ingredients in tried-and-true recipes. Over time, I learn what works, what doesn’t, and hopefully come up with a few new ideas. Usually, one or two recipes rise to the top, and I…
Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Seeds
Sugar and spice and everything nice, these crispy seeds offer a snack-worthy way to make the most of your annual pumpkin carving ritual. Taking the time to dry out the seeds, as described in the recipe notes, will create the crispiest, most flavorful seeds. As we were picking pumpkins last weekend, my older son…
Honey Nut Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
This twist on the usual overnight oats is a deliciously satisfying way to use leftover quinoa and may be scaled up for grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week. Does anyone else start thinking about dinner while breakfast is still digesting? And do you go to bed thinking about breakfast? I’ve always been the sort…
Creamy Chocolate Power Shake
Thick enough to eat with a spoon and loaded with a wholesome balance of ingredients that will deliciously fuel your day. I LOVE this shake–although you can call it a smoothie if you prefer. Initially, I was not a believer. My friend Anita gets all the credit for showing me the wisdom of adding…
Coconut Quinoa Breakfast Cookies
Cookies for breakfast anyone? When they’re loaded with wholesome ingredients, cookies for breakfast are a treat we can actually feel good about. Perfect to grab-and-go when time is running short, too! I’ve been making these cookies for my family for several years and was inspired to finally share the recipe after another positive comment…
No-Bake Refrigerator Peanut Butter Oat Squares
A wholesome, no-bake recipe with peanut butter and chocolate (what’s not to love?), these chewy bars never last long! Since my kids were little, one of their favorite lunchbox treats has been a chewy peanut butter chocolate chip granola bar. What’s not to like? With their convenient portable packaging and ever-growing assortment of flavors,…
Make-Ahead Pineapple Blueberry Breakfast Parfaits
These wholesome, prep-ahead jars are reminiscent of Bircher muesli with a tropical twist. In the morning, simply add milk to your desired consistency, give the jars a good stir, and dig in! Golden pineapples are a staple on my weekly grocery list throughout the winter. Their tropical sweetness seems almost summer-like at a time…
