Black Bean and Squash Chili

Oh my goodness I love this season! It's so beautiful! I can't get over it! Every time I'm outside on a run or a walk I keep thinking that this is the most beautiful I've ever seen the world. The canyons right now...wow! To quote Anne Shirley, "I'm so glad I live in a world…

Banana Bread Oatmeal

So I'm not super great at eating breakfast in the morning. Usually because I'm running behind and breakfast is not high on my list of priorities - it falls somewhere after getting my hair done and making sure I have everything I need for class. Honestly, even making my bed trumps getting breakfast. However, this…

English Muffins

Remember my Baking Bucket List? It's been a while since I've visited it but today I tackled a project I've been wanting to try since I saw it done on the British Baking Show. I know, my obsession with the show is...well...obsessive. I would love to cook my way through a set of challenges from an episode! Create…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

Happy birthday to me...happy birthday TO meee... Another year! And today I am 22. My birthday never fails to make me contemplative. I'm always grateful for everything I've been blessed with in the last year, the things I've been able to do and accomplish, and anxious to not waste the next year I've been given…

Spiced Pumpkin Applesauce Bread

A week ago, it became socially acceptable to enjoy pumpkin food again. Happy day! Of course, I jumped the gun and have been cooking and baking with pumpkin since the beginning of the month, but that's beside the point. I can't help it. I don't care how "basic" it is... I love me some pumpkin!…

Roasted Chicken and Veggies Over Quinoa

Hey everybody! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and did something fall-y. My favorite season is in full swing here in northern Utah. It's been mid 50s and a full spectrum of weather - rain, clouds, sunshine, thunder - in the last week and I LOVE it.   Ty and I spent the weekend…

Walnut Basil Pesto

New favorite thing! Going to the farmer's market! I meant to go to the farmer's market alllllllll summer but it's on Saturday and during the summer, Ty's and my Saturdays are prettttty busy. We're always traveling or hiking or camping or I'm going on a long run and the VERY FEW times we don't have…

Brownies on the Moon Ice Cream

So this recipe comes at a kind of odd time of year. Fall just started here in Logan and it's 55 degrees and cloudy and I'm LOVING it, but it doesn't exactly scream "ice cream". BUT...any weather's ice cream weather if you want it to be! And I always want it to be 😉 Plus,…

Sept. 14 Five Things

Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies

Happy Monday! I thought we could all start the week with a boost of chocolate 🙂 In a far cry from the last recipe I shared, this recipe is packed with sugar and chocolate . . . everything a proper indulgent treat should be 😉 In other news, how was your weekend? I'm still hoping for signs…
