Sometimes you just need some fruit in your life.
After a weekend of cake filled preschooler birthday I felt like I needed a more 'grain free' breakfast this morning to let my body settled and readjust itself. I wanted something light but filling enough to hold me through my morning.
My first thought was yogurt and fruit, but it wasn't quite appealing enough. A hah! What about a self containing breakfast? An edible bowl!...
Read MoreI love asparagus. I seriously cannot wait for asparagus to come into season every year! Unfortunately, I am the only one under my roof that does enjoy it... as a result, most of my asparagus recipes will be intended for one or two servings.
The idea behind this recipe actually started with my mom a year or two ago. She had mentioned to me about how she had been wrapping roast beef around sautéed asparagus as a healthy sort of snack...

Seriously. Good. Stuff. This is an easy dish to toss together the night before and have ready to pop into the oven the next morning. Oatmeal, fruit, and veggies. Everything you need to get the day started off right!
Read MoreI'll admit, I wasn't quite ready for spring yet this year. I've had a case of the springtime-blues. I'll take all the cool weather I can get here in Texas, but I can already feel the daunting heat of summer rearing it's ugly head. We've already hit the 90's, ugh!
I paired this is a lovely spring inspired lemon poppyseed vinaigrette with a spinach salad that's clearly gearing up for summer! Eating this for lunch has really given me a kick in the right direction to stave off those springtime-blues...
