4.23 27 Published May 12, 2021, Updated Aug 17, 2023 I have so many different overnight oats recipes already, but lately I’ve been day dreaming about sitting on the beach with my toes in the sand, which inspired me to create these tropical overnight oats. This delicious overnight oats flavor combines all of your fave tropical fruits in one bowl. Think banana, pineapple, mango and coconut – oh yeah!...

Protein Salads = G.O.A.T While I love a leafy green salad, protein salads are where it’s at when it comes to quick and easy lunch recipes that are easy to meal prep. Here are the three main reasons I love protein salads like this tuna egg salad: Tuna Egg Salad Ingredients canned tuna – I use albacore or skipjack tuna packed in water or olive oil....

5 15 Published Jul 18, 2022, Updated Jul 03, 2024 Besides being completely obsessed with the blueberry swirl, I love how healthy and delicious this recipe is. It’s made with all-natural, wholesome ingredients and packed with healthy fats from pecans, coconut and cashews! These bars are raw, vegan, gluten-free and naturally sweetened without being over-the-top sweet. Plus, they’re so rich and creamy, I bet no one will even know that they’re made without dairy!...

Vegan blueberry buttermilk pancakes are just as easy to make as my Simple Vegan Pancakes and Fluffy Vegan Banana Pancakes. The batter is simple and made with just 7 ingredients in one bowl. If you need gluten free pancakes, simply swap the flour for gluten free flour instead! The pancakes get even better when you top them with vegan whipped cream, maple syrup, and more blueberries. Serve a stack for weekend breakfasts or Sunday brunch and enjoy!...

I have been thinking about creating a vegan “fish” recipe for a long time now. I was never a huge fan of fish myself, in fact, I hated it as a kid. EXCEPT for fish sticks, you know, the frozen ones your mom would pop in the oven and serve for lunch. So I thought creating a vegan version of fish sticks would be a perfect place to start! Let’s leave the fish in the ocean and eat tofu instead, shall we?...

These fresh, crispy, and tart Vegan Fish Tacos have irresistible flavors! Each element is made from scratch so you have an authentic tasting feast for Taco Tuesday. Have fun with it and mix and match your taco toppings!

I used the same method here for baking tofu “chicken style” as I did for Vegan Butter Chicken, one of my most popular recipes! I love this method of cooking tofu; it has a unique texture and delicious flavor. When paired with a spicy, creamy masala sauce it is simply incredible. Consider making a batch of Easy Vegan Naan to soak up the flavor-packed sauce! How to make Vegan Tikka Masala Here are the main steps, in photos, to making this tasty dish....

Kate and I travel to cities all over the US. Besides getting to meet amazing women and reconnect with our TOFW friends, the best part is actually getting to hang out with each other. Many people don’t realize that we live on opposite sides of the country, and speaking events and book tours are the only times we actually get to hang out in person, so that’s one of the highlights for us!...

This post first appeared on Real Housemoms, where I am a contributor. It has been raining for DAYS here, you guys. I love a rainy day. Really, I do. I love wearing comfy sweaters, boots and when inside, curling up with a blanket. (Ideally with a book but usually with my computer as I power through some work.) But Monday’s rainy day coincided with both kids being home (Veteran’s Day holiday) and me trying to work while they bounced off the walls....

Ingredient Notes I like to think of 4 main categories of ingredients to use for the perfect yogurt bowl parfait. Pick a couple options from each category and you’ll be golden! Yogurt – The biggest factor in an elevated parfait bowl is the actual yogurt. I like to use something a little more high end than our normal breakfast yogurt. Greek yogurt is easily accessible in the grocery store, but also take a look for Islandic or French yogurts which tend to be extra luxurious....

This flag cake has been a tradition in our home for many, many years now. I’ve been making it since my twins were 2 years old, and they’re now 10 so I guess about 8 years! On another note, why do kids have to grow up so quickly? Geez. Slow down already! Anyhow, our family doesn’t care for fireworks or even staying up super late on the Fourth, but one thing we always do is make this flag cake....

If you think you just might at any point this summer need something to break up the routine, then this post is for you. If you know us, you know that Kate and I are not about complicated labor intensive structured kid activities. But we do really love quick and easy stuff that just might lend you a few extra minutes to sit and drink a dirty diet Coke while your kids engage in something other than otter pops consumption....

I’m kind of flip-flopping our regular posting schedule this week and posting a scoop-ish post today (just in time for Thanksgiving prep!) and I’ll post a recipe on Thursday. Today, we have a new guest contributor, Catharine. She is a culinary school grad and in addition to being a rockstar in her kitchen at home, she’s worked in many commercial kitchens as well, so she knows what she’s talking about (if you want to read more about her, scroll to the bottom of the post....

So, we are one week away from July 4th. What?! I feel like I’m just starting to settle into summer and it’s already speeding by. Guess I need to hurry up and slow down and find some time for long, lazy days! ☀️ And while we normally travel for the 4th (usually to the beach), we are planning to be home this year. I’m excited for a relaxing day, some pool time (they do a bike decorating station and bike parade in the morning at our pool) and maybe finding somewhere to see some fireworks....

You guys know we love some stuffed chicken in our house right? I make it A LOT and love trying out all kinds of variations. Spinach stuffed chicken is a great go-to any night of the week. And I love making chicken breasts stuffed with prosciutto, spinach and mozzarella for a fancier dinner like a date night in, or for company! My kids are especially partial to pizza stuffed chicken and cheesy Mexican stuffed chicken breasts....

4.84 6 Published Aug 18, 2023, Updated Aug 30, 2024 Think of a Dutch Baby as a cross between a pancake, crepe and popover. They can be made plain with no mix-ins, but for this version we’re caramelizing cinnamon apples then adding the batter and baking in the oven until puffy and golden. The combo is SO good! I can’t wait for you to try it. Why You’ll Love This Recipe Simple yet impressive: This dish looks fancy but is easy to make with simple ingredients....

4.91 23 Published Sep 03, 2020, Updated Jun 12, 2023 I know apples are technically a “fall flavor” but I love apple flavored things year round. So yes, this is perfect for back-to-school but I will absolutely be making these in the upcoming seasons too. Types of Energy Balls As you may have guessed, there are so many different types of energy balls and they go by a variety of names too....

Have you guys been watching all the Olympics?! We have paused our binge of Orange is the New Black (we’re in the middle of season two and I’m obsessed) to tune in. The swimming, gymnastics, beach volleyball, I love it all! Speaking of the beach… we snuck away last night for a weekend in Charleston, S.C. I’m working from the condo this morning and hoping to wrap up my deadlines early and go play in the sun with the kiddos later this afternoon!...

(UPDATE: You can watch my daughter and I make these muffins on our Facebook Live video. ) I’ve got a choose-your-own-adventure recipe for you today. These banana blueberry muffins can be made big or small or both. (I do both. We like options around here.) If you haven’t noticed, I’ve got some serious muffin munchkins in my house. We have muffins at breakfast, snack, school lunch, sometimes even a savory variety for dinner....
