banana ice cream

I have a bit of an obsession with ice cream in general. Make it vegan and healthy and I am all over that! YUM

And I love that its super easy to make too! All you do is take a couple of bananas… chop them up and freeze them. Once frozen throw them into a food processor and blend until its a smooth, soft serve consistency. Then add whatever you’d like. The top photo is chocolate, and the bottom is cinnamon with cacao nibs folded in. I’ve also thrown strawberries and basil into one batch, that one was real yum!

greek dip turned sandwich

This was tasty! I found a Greek Dip recipe on pinterest that I made for a get together at a friends house. I came home with some leftovers and I wanted something other than chips and dip. So I toasted a couple of slices of bread and made a sandwich out of the remaining dip.

The dip is super easy to make... Bottom layer is hummus (homemade or store bought), Finely chop a tomato, red pepper, cucumber, kalamata olives and fresh dill then sprinkle evenly over the hummus layer, Crumble feta cheese on top then sprinkle a little more dill over the whole thing. Serve with pita.

Now for the sandwich I just added a bit more veggies (whatever I had leftover) and mixed up the dip. It was really good. It was a great way to use up the extras without wasting anything.

sweet potato and tuna salad

I really love easy meals! I use to try to plan out every meal for the week and get super creative but I found myself getting lazy and not cooking what I had originally planned and shopped for. So by the end of the week all of my produce would go bad. I had to get out of that rut so now when I head to the grocery I have some essentials in mind but mostly I buy what looks good. So every night I can come home from work, see what looks tasty and figure out how to combine it. 

This is another super easy dinner. Some, probably most people would look at me in disgust (like Morgan definitely did) when I combined these two things. But let me tell you it was so darn good! The sweetness of the potato and the tang of the tuna... YUM!

I kept this one very simple. I took 2 pouches of tuna or 1 can, mayo, chopped red onion and s&p. And that was it for the tuna. For the sweet potato I just baked it in tin foil 400 degrees for about 45 min or until tender. I took half of the potato and mashed it up with some butter and topped that with half of the tuna mixture. That's it folks!

For the side salad i just chopped up some lettuce, red cabbage, tomatoes, red onion and carrots then tossed that with a balsamic/olive oil dressing.

kimchi fried rice and fried egg

Ohhhh my goodness! I definitely have a super crush on Trader Joe's.

One of my favorites is the kimchi fried rice, you can find it in the freezer section and one bag lasts about 2-3 meals. I am a bit obsessed... it is that good! Sometimes I add some extra fresh kimchi in the mix. Sooo good!!

For this plate I heated up some of the rice and topped it with sunny side up eggs then paired that with roasted sweet potatoes. I tossed the potatoes with a little bit of cinnamon. Let me tell you the runny yolk with the salty rice and sweet potatoes... what a perfect combo!!! 

Roasted potatoes are one of my favorite things to make. They are so easy and delicious. I cut my potatoes into cubes and roast them in a 450 degree oven for about 60 minutes tossing every once in a while. yum and yum

veggie and egg sammich love

Yes and Yes!!! Look at this baby!

Sourdough bread one side spread with goat cheese, the other with smashed avocado and s&p. Lettuce, tomato, sprouts and an egg. This combo was pure magic. I've definitely made this multiple times now.

I use to eat regular ole bread from the lame bread isle but with age I'm only getting fancier (uhhh duhh) and I have a real soft spot for fresh baked bakery bread. One time I bought some sourdough from Publix and when I picked it up I almost died... It was super fresh, STILL WARM! I went straight home and devoured 2 pieces! I know, I know that probably sounds a little lame but yes I get that excited about food!
