These days, I’m drinking a smoothie almost every dang day. There’s something about summer that makes me crave something cold and green. Yum. I’ve been mixing things up with spinach and different herbs, but this cucumber mint smoothie is definitely one of my new favorites. The combination of cucumber, with subtle hints of pineapple and coconut…

Healthy (ish) Rhubarb Coffee Cake
It’s finally farmer’s market season here in Minneapolis and that means all the veggies on Sundays. The farmer’s market is my favorite summer activity (besides biking) for a few reasons. My love of farmer’s markets started my freshman year of college where I was fortunate enough to frequent the Dane County Farmer’s Market on Saturdays…
easy fall muesli
I only recently started eating muesli after our family trip to Europe this summer. I’m not really surprised that I liked it based on my previous college obsession with overnight oats. If you don’t know what muesli is, it’s essentially a mix of rolled oats, dried fruit, nuts, and a bit of spice that you…
Bulletproof Turmeric Chai Latte
Fall has always been my favorite season. Aside from my obsession with wool socks and all things pumpkin, it just feels so cozy to me. The leaves are changing and there’s that familiar crunch beneath your boots. The mornings are crisp, and require a scarf (which btw is my favorite accessory) but not much more. But…
Cardamom Orange Kubaneh from Molly on the Range
If you haven’t ordered Molly Yeh’s cookbook Molly on the Range, then you better hurry on over to Amazon and monopolize on that two day prime shipping because this is one you don’t want to miss. I first started following Molly’s blog after discovering her adorable marzipan decorated cakes on Instagram. Have you seen this…
No Bake Pumpkin Bars
How crazy is it that it’s already October? I feel like I say that every single month but it amazes me how quickly the time seems to pass by. Soon enough I’ll be 30 and passing up nights out to watch Netlix and eat Boom-Chicka-Pop. Okay, so I already do that. Whatever. If you guys caught…
Pumpkin Date Bread
It’s 6:00 AM and for some reason I’d way rather wake up early and sip coffee in the dark than try and be useful past 10 PM. In college, I used to set my alarm for 3:30 AM to study for O-Chem tests rather than try to stay up into the late hours of the…
Walnut Cherry Chia Granola
Since I already gave you guys the low down this week during Friday Favorites, I’m gonna keep this one short and sweet. I can only whine about my cold so many times before you’re like, “okay, we get it”. I like granola, but you guys already knew that. I also like how easy it is,…
Coconut Date Creamer ( + the cold brew craze)
Last week I fell victim to a very expensive 16oz cold brew on the way to work. Essentially I paid the same for a cup of cold brew that I would have for a latte and I after I paid the barista, the only thought going through my head was, seriously? That’s what I get for…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Banana bread is literally my vice. There is something about the dense but soft, somewhat sweet, moist (sorry if you hate that word which you probably do), goodness that is banana bread. I can’t keep my hands off the stuff. Plus, I don’t even have to feel bad about forgetting to eat my bananas because…
