Before I get into my snack bar reviews, lets start with my favorite meal of the day: breakfast. Unless I have something in mind (Let’s be honest, I usually think about what I am going to have for breakfast before I go to bed!), my breakfast cravings tend to be non-existent in the morning; I [...]
Happy Lick-Your-Almond-Butter-Jar-Clean Day Friday. Remember that almost empty jar I pictured yesterday? Well, I made sure to put it to good use today with Oats In a Jar! I have done this before with overnight oats, however; putting warm stove-top oats in a jar makes for an infinitely better melty-almond experience. I used my standard [...]
Dear Oats, I miss you. Love Always, Nora. I haven’t had my beloved stove top oats in a few days, and oh how I have missed them! There is nothing better than a bowl of creamy, luscious and hearty oats to start the day off right. I can honestly say that no other breakfast satisfies [...]
Dinner tonight was met with indecision. Did I want something hot? Cold? Cheesy? Fish? Vegetarian? Grains? Pasta? Too many options! I haven’t made my simple Honey-Dijon Baked Salmon since summer, and my current beet/hazelnut obsession is still holding strong (I NEED A JUICER!!!). I decided to make a dish to incorporate both. Hmmm…beets and salmon [...]
Growing up we always had a special breakfast on Sunday mornings. My dad was the breakfast chef in our house, and would make amazing omelets, Strawberry Belgian Waffles or French Toast after church every Sunday. This is a tradition that I have carried with me into my adult years, and I try to make it [...]
Happy Saturday! I woke up this morning refreshed with oats and mango on my mind. I had some extra time and decided to make the ultimate stove top oats: Chia-Banana Cooked Scottish Oats with Mango-Orange-Passionfruit Compote, Coconut Cream, Crunchy Almond Butter, Sliced Banana and Blueberries. Holy smokes, toppings galore! Hidden under the toppings is a [...]
It has been quite the adventurous day. It all started with a lack of internet (thus the late post) and ended in a long search to get my phone fixed. Before I start rambling on the happenings of today I’ll give you some food bites. I started the day off with a variation of yesterdays [...]
Maybe it’s just me, but my daily food choices are DEFINITELY inspired by the weather. Reflecting on some of my daily eats, I realized that certain flavors and textures are more appealing to me based on the temperature. It was gorgeous and sunny around lunch time, and all I wanted was either a loaded salad [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! I felt that it was necessary to start my day off with something green in honor of today. A Green Monster in a Green Bowl and topped with Galaxy Vanilla Almond Granola (aka my new love…but I’ll get to that in a moment.). In to the blender went: 3 ice cubes, [...]
After two weeks of restaurant and “celebration” eating, it is about time to get back on track and back into the kitchen. Even when I eat “healthier” dishes on vacation, there is always MUCH more indulging. I figure that I don’t go out to eat or on trips that often so it is worth it. [...]
