Homemade Macaroni and Cheese 

I love, love, love to eat healthy. I’m all about big salads for dinner, all things kale, and ancient grains. However, I’m also a firm believer in balance. Once upon a time, I was super restrictive, never thought about touching anything that was “unhealthy,” and 

Four Ingredient Banana Oat Cookies and Other Randomness 

Saturday afternoon, I was craving something sweet. I didn’t want anything too sugary, but just sweet enough to cure my craving. I looked around my house for ingredients and decided to whip up a batch of experimental cookies. I was surprisingly pleased with how they

Favorite Basic Green Smoothie 

Now that the weather is getting warmer, my love for smoothies is making a strong comeback.  This recipe is one of my basic green smoothie combos and tastes like “ice cream” to boot. Okay, maybe not exactly like ice cream, but it is cold, creamy,
