Before I tell you all about this amazing oatmeal recipe I have for you guys, I want to chat a bit about why I decided to do a month of clean eating instead of say a month of gluten-free or paleo recipes. If you’ve read my little bio (no worries if not, I’m pretty boring) it…
Mixed Fruit and Resolutions
Are you guys excited for the new year? I can’t believe how fast 2014 flew by and that we are just a day away from 2015! Now I know I’m technically a little too early to be sharing new year’s resolutions but, I am just too excited about this new series not to tell you about it….
Green Detox Smoothie
How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? This year, because of all of the wedding celebrations, my in-laws decided to have our family dinner at The Grand American Hotel in Salt Lake City! If you live around the area, I wholeheartedly recommend checking out their buffet! It was so nice to have a delicious and somewhat traditional Thanksgiving…

And it’s a breakfast that is DEFINITELY worth waking up for. I mean, check out that fruit! And that’s not even the best part. To make this breakfast extra satisfying I made TWO different types of…
Indulgent French Toast
Today’s post is all about breakfast, French toast to be exact, and this one’s a keeper. It’s made just the way you’ve probably always made French toast, except for a few changes that make THIS recipe extra special. To start off, I used a fresh loaf of French bread with a really good crust. The…
Steel-Cut Oatmeal with Blackened Figs
Oatmeal (especially the steel-cut variety) has always been one of my favorite breakfast staples. Something about its hearty, chewy texture and warmth makes me feel like snuggling up with a book all day. With that image in mind, summertime and oatmeal don’t always seem mix, but when I saw these figs at the market I knew…
