How was your weekend? Ours was a whirlwind! We drove down to NC and spent some time with my family eating good food and enjoying the crisp fall weather! While we loved being with our family for a few days, driving back on Sunday meant not having a lot of time to prepare meals for…
Thai Noodle Salad with Lime and Chili Pepitas
I’m going to be honest with you guys. Yesterday was pretty rough.I don’t know if it’s the awful weather we have been having or the sun setting an hour earlier, but I have been so tired! And, as someone who loves to be active, I have been craving simple meals that will help boost my…

Vegan No-Bake Brownies
I’ll give you guys a second to let that title sink in…. For this weeks A Sweet A Week post, I wanted to switch things up a bit. Now, don’t get thrown by the word “vegan”. These brownies are just as, if not more, decadent and rich than your favorite brownie recipe. They are flourless and…
