Chia pudding has been an Instagram favorite for years now with no signs of slowing down, and I totally get why. The luster of the presentation is intoxicating.

This is my latest and greatest obsession; savory shredded potato waffles topped with sour cream, smoked salmon, and scallions. As if breakfast could not get any better, or truthfully, more effortless. I’m talking, crispy, buttery potatoes, made in minutes in a standard waffle maker, garnished like a baked potato, with sour cream and green onion, […]

Babka, (Yiddish for “little grandmother”), is one of the most iconic Jewish sweets there are.

I love Fall. And with the exception of the holiday decorations coming out at way too fast of a clip, I enjoy all aspects of it. But personally, I think the pumpkin craziness gets a bit more glory than it deserves. Don’t get me wrong, I love a great pumpkin cookie, pumpkin muffins are my […]

My love of oats is no secret, if you follow me on Instagram, you know I’m a big overnight oat fan. Oats are a great addition to many things in the baking world, power bars, smoothies, dessert bars, cookies and of course, muffins. Oats add texture and I’m a big fan of that when it comets […]

I remember when smoothie bowls became a thing. And I’ll admit it, I didn’t fully get them at first, but now I do. Smoothie bowls are often confused with açaí bowls, but they are not the same, in fact, they are completely different in origin. And to clarify, traditional smoothies, made of pureed fruit mixtures […]

This post is for my youngest who absolutely loves crêpes. Honestly, I can’t blame him, a crêpe, when made from scratch, is AMAZING!

I’m willing to bet you know who Ina Garten is and why her modern day comfort food recipes are so popular. Uncomplicated and reliable are the main two reasons.

You could call this porridge, but I won’t. This is my creamy Fonio cereal with caramelized bananas. If that didn’t hook ok you, perhaps this will. I topped it with coconut-almonds clusters, brown sugar and agave nectar. Honesty, this may be the breakfast cereal of your dreams. I know it’s mine. Once you try this […]
