A few days ago I got a hankering for pumpkin soufflé. I haven't had a soufflé in years and even then it was a savory mushroom soufflé, not a dessert. Yet for some reason I just had to make one. The recipe called for canned pumpkin puree of course but I try to limit what we eat out of a can (BPA yo!) and would've had to make a special trip to the store. The store where I can buy organic pumpkin puree is even farther. So I decided to make my own puree using two pie pumpkins that had been sitting … [Read more...]
Avocado Chocolate Pudding
We don't often do desserts in our house. On occasion will we follow up dinner with some homemade sorbet but that is the extent of our dessert making here. Perhaps this is why my kids were uber suspicious when they spied pudding chilling in the fridge. They just KNEW that something had to be "off" with it. Was their spinach blended in? Was it sweetened with fruit juice? All good questions and of course they were hip to my tricks. This pudding was mostly comprised of avocado and yet despite that, … [Read more...]

First, I want to thank Tiffany for giving me the awesome opportunity to come and spread the word on shopping.

Nourishing Mushroom Leek Frittata Recipe
I make this meal quite often for breakfast or as an after CrossFit "power" meal. This serves one and it is sooooo delicious! I also like that it gives me the opportunity to use leeks because they are a favorite of mine and since potatoes (their favorite playmate) and I are not on such good terms these days, I don't cook with leeks so much anymore. I also love mushrooms and usually go for baby bellas with this recipe but went with plain white buttons on this day. Often times I will chop enough of … [Read more...]
30 Day Clean & Green Kitchen Plan
Cleaning the kitchen is one of those things that I know needs to be broken down into daily tasks but an actual plan of action seems to elude me. I always seem to get the bare minimum done... aka cleaning the counters so I can prepare the day's meals or loading/unloading the dishwasher so we have clean dishes to eat off of. But cleaning the spray off the backsplash and stove, wiping down the walls, or cleaning up stray peas underneath the kitchen table... forget it! This year I totally planned to … [Read more...]
