Brussels & Butternut Naan Pizza
This sweet and savory pizza is loaded with the goodness of the fall season. Brussels sprouts and butternut squash make this naan pizza hearty and healthy! It’s that time again to eat all the butternut squash…sorry.not.sorry. There was a time when butternut squash intimidated me. That may or may not have been a few months ago. I’d do a little freak out when the orange veggie would stare me down in the produce isle. Plus, would I REALLY like it? While I’m a fan of pumpkin flavored things, zucchini and yellow squash are not high up on my list. Until that day my world was turned upside down. I was at Panera Bread (I know, I know) and ordered the Butternut Squash Soup after the cashier talked me in tasting it. In that very first sip, I couldn’t believe what I had been missing. ...

Blog Brûlée + Weekly Eats
I made back to Orlando late last night from Blog Brûlée, an RD food blogger retreat in Vermont. Connecting with old friends and meeting new ones that inspire me really builds me up. Lovely ladies right to left: Kara Lydon, McKenzie Hall, Danielle Omar, Min Kwon, Me While we did a great deal of learning from each other it was more like a “party” where we just spent time together, talking about food blogging from SEO and building a brand, to food photography, styling, and photo editing. I’ll be sure to share more about my major takeaways in upcoming blog posts. Ann and I got out in the chilly weather yesterday morning for a hike to get our blood flowing before a day of travel. Vermont is so beautiful with the scenic views and lots of rolling hills… took me back to the ... View Post
Fall Race Schedule + #TrainingBites {Almond Butter Cream}
Since the marathon in Vermont this spring, my ankle has been giving me fits. I honestly didn't know if I was going to make it 26.2 miles with the pain I was experiencing leading up to the race. I took a full month off of running (June) and the past two months, I've been getting back into it... well trying. The thing is, my ankle hasn't really healed. I found out it's tendonitis, and aside from massages twice a month, I haven't done my own work. So I joined a yoga studio last week. I woke up on Sunday morning, hardly movable with my back in knots. The left side of my body is revolting. I had a quick release massage to treat my back, and found that my tight hip flexers are referring pain to my back... ugh! Then I got this cool light treatment on my ankle that identified inflammation. The ... View Post

Grilled BBQ Chicken Naan Pizza with Tart Cherries
Fire up the grill for this BBQ Chicken Naan Pizza with Tart Cherries—it’s perfect for a summer gathering and comes together in just minutes! Big thank you to Cherry Marketing Institute for sponsoring this post. It’s been a while since I’ve shared a pizza recipe with you all, and this one requires firing up the grill (well, you can totally bake it in the oven or on your stove top grilling pan), but grilling pizza outside is 1. more fun and 2. makes one of the BEST pizzas you’ll ever put in your mouth! Plus it’s summer time; who wants to heat up the oven?! It’s grilling season! Grilling pizza makes the crust crispy and the cheese perfectly melty. I loved this take on BBQ Chicken Pizza because I used garlic Naan bread—hello flavor (and garlic breath, sorry not sorry). It doesn’t get ... View Post
Funky Monkey Pancakes
Shaved dark chocolate, smashed banana, coconut flakes, and coconut yogurt = Funky Monkey Pancakes. You will melt. It's Monday and I don't have my usual Meal Prep post this week because we are leaving on Wednesday for California. Have I ever told you that I have the BEST boss in the world? Tara invited Eric and I out to Disneyland for the Avengers race weekend... just for a vacay. Yep, she's da best and I want to shout it to the rooftops! I've been in a pancake mood--- in fact these little cakes were supposed to be apple cinnamon and then I saw Eric's Liberte coconut yogurt in the fridge and I instantly became in the mood for coconut. Sorry honey. Then my brain started dreaming chocolate... which lead to bananas because chocolate is always better with bananas. ... View Post
