Hello, October. Today’s recipe, an autumn almond breakfast smoothie, is part of the official welcome wagon into fall. We’ve got an autumn recipe and, guess what. There’s no pumpkin here, folks! Fall may not seem like the time for smoothies but It’s creamy and dreamy […]

You probably clicked on today’s post thinking one of two things: Another pumpkin recipe? Enough already! or It’s about damn time! Give me allll the pumpkin. Whatever the case, don’t panic. This is not the beginning of a slew of orange-colored eats nor is it the only […]

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and The Coca-Cola Company. All opinions are mine alone. #MyHonestTea #CollectiveBias Whew, chile. Things got heated over on Instagram the other day. I wasn’t ready! For this post, I knew I wanted to make a grain-free […]

What’s your weekday breakfast scenario currently like? Mine is either warming up something I made ahead in the office microwave or sliding through a drive-through for a smoothie or something pseudo-healthy, sweating the whole time thinking there’s no way I’ll get to work on time. […]

Have y’all been enjoying all of this season’s cherry recipes so far? Over the past couple of weeks I’ve shared an easy spritzer cocktail, and a twist on classic cherry pie–both made with the bounty provided to me by Northwest Cherry Growers. Today, we’re throwing […]

Tips and ideas for making easy 3-step smoothie bowls

A delicious and good-for-you anytime drink that takes only six minutes to make

This vegan and gluten-free recipe is easy-to-make, delicious, and can be prepped ahead of time.

What is there really to say about cheese eggs besides “Yes, please.”? I love cheese eggs, have been practicing making them since college and have found that timing plays the biggest role in this process. When you add salt, how long you whisk, and when […]

An easy, 30-minute, make-ahead breakfast that tastes like dessert but is dairy and guilt free

Easy and filling tropical green breakfast smoothies to start your day. Made with mango, pineapple, banana, spinach, greek yogurt, and oats.

Yep, another recipe featuring praline sauce. In my defense, this idea was sparked by someone else. I made a batch of the sauce to drizzle over waffles at brunch a couple of months ago and one of my friends poured it over his biscuits. Game. Changed. […]

I don’t really do casseroles so I won’t call this a breakfast casserole. And although they share some of the same ingredients like bacon, red potatoes, green onions, eggs, and cheese, this isn’t quite like my super breakfast pie, either. Whatever it is, it’s tasty. […]

I’ll try to keep today’s post short and sweet because these donuts pretty much speak for themselves. Also, it’s been a supremely strange week, y’all. My Sunday was pretty relaxed and I attended a photography workshop with the Houston Blogger Union. I eased into a […]

I think I’ve mentioned before that brunch is the meal of our generation and my personal favorite. Sweet meets savory. Day drinking meets anything. Breakfast food meets pizza. I might have made that last one up but stick with me because it for sure works! This pizza […]

This recipe is something of a Dash of Jazz classic, if there is such a thing. It’s the first one I ever shared here on the blog (original post here not too much on my rookie photo skills, please!) a little over two years ago…and it’s still […]

These strawberry cake donuts are delicious, easy to make, and have an addictive, delicate flavor. If you can make cupcakes, you can make these!

If appetizers could greet you, this one would say “Hey, y’all!” I was inspired to create something party worthy with the Strawberry Jalapeño Smucker’s Fruit & Honey spread I found in my December Degustabox. (If you aren’t familiar with Degustabox, read my rundown here and click […]

Classic zucchini bread with tangy lemon zest and luxurious lemon curd.

Everyone’s favorite sandwich remixed into a PB&J smoothie bowl.

Easy, crispy oven-baked breakfast potatoes with the deep flavor of paprika.

My go-to homemade instant oatmeal mix. Make it in a few minutes on Sunday night and have easy weekday mornings. My love for hot breakfast items began young. One story my mom loves to tell involves my mispronunciation of “cream of wheat” as a toddler. […]

Capture the comfort of a warm bowl of oats and the flavors of Fall in this easy, make-ahead breakfast for the whole week.

All the comfort of a warm bowl of oats in an easy, on-the-go form for the whole week in 30 minutes

Right now, the heat index here (in Houston) is 108 degrees. One-hundred and eight…degrees! On days like this, I dart from my car to the doors of my house or office with an unparalleled quickness. I also pray for those who have nowhere to dart […]

Muffins are not just for breakfast anymore, people. I know this because I ate the majority of these easy blackberry spice muffins over the course of Easter weekend at all times of the day (and night). The oddest hour was at about 1:00 AM while […]

This super breakfast pie started off as an innocent quiche and I got a little carried away. In my head, I began with the quiche basics but as I strolled through the produce section at HEB, bunches of kale jumped out at me along with red potatoes […]

Are you one of those people who likes _____-flavored foods but not _____ itself? I am that way when it comes to bananas. I like banana-flavored runts, jellybeans, banana nut bread, etc., but cannot eat a banana on its own. I happily ate bananas in […]

Easy, fluffy blueberry pancakes topped with a fruity blueberry compote

2015 has brought very chilly temperatures to my city. I don’t know about you, but cold weather makes getting out of bed in the morning nearly torturous for me. Heading in to the office to do fulfilling work and draw a paycheck doesn’t light the […]
