Every summer I stock my freezer full of all the berries I couldn’t eat fast enough. And, by summer’s end, the freezer is bursting with a colorful mix of blues, reds, and purples. I find that freezing the berries before they turn is not only less wasteful, but it is a great way to have [...]

I love mexican inspired foods. On a regular basis, I crave tender beans, crunchy chips, creamy guacamole and fiery salsa. These foods soothe my soul and provide complete, nutrient-packed meals for us non-meat eaters. Because the combinations are simple, you’ve got to mix up the technique so that every day meals don’t grow monotonous. Recently, [...]

Gotta have a hearty winter soup for these snow capped days. Recently, I discovered a wonderful recipe for broccoli cheese soup that’s easy to make in a pinch. All you need are a few ingredients and an immersion hand blender and you are ready to go.
Ingredients:
1 bag of frozen broccoli crowns
1/4 -1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

I love to use fruits and vegetables that are in season.  For this reason, I tend to purchase large amounts of seasonal produce and try to whip up new and fabulous recipes with them!  This recipe came purely out of convenience and a little laziness.  I had some beautiful brussel sprouts leftover from a previous [...]

Vegetable soup is perhaps the ultimate comfort food. It’s also a perfect way to get a ton of veggies in one bowl servings. This recipe calls for seasonal, fresh vegetables, a little extra time, and lots of love.  It pairs best with a cold winter day and a good book.
Ingredients (makes 4 servings): Feel free to substitute canned/frozen [...]

I get so excited about  the Fall. I enjoy the summer, but there is just something about the Fall that makes me smile inside. The sun shines different, the evenings are cooler, spiced apple cider, root vegetables, and the true running season. One of my favorite things to do in the Fall is to sit outside and enjoy [...]

We all know that beans are nutritious, filling, and tasty! However, sometimes I can get bored with the same old pot of beans. Therefore, I made up this very simple and quick recipe that packs a punch of spice and sweetness. Try this with a side of brown rice or freshly baked cornbread. It is [...]

During these dog days of summer, cool off with some refreshing gazpacho. Gazpacho is a cold soup recipe traditionally made with tomatoes that requires zero time in front of a hot stove top.  Gazpacho takes less time to make than hot soup because all you need to do is blend the ingredients together in a [...]

You won’t see a lot of recipes coming from me… at least not Lindsey originals. I’m not a good cook and I tend to burn myself every time, but lately — perhaps due to the onslaught of Julie & Julia previews — I’ve been feeling inspired and adventurous. The recipes you will see on my [...]

This summer I have been experimenting with all sorts of different and wonderful breakfast creations and haven’t made many bowls of oatmeal. Don’t get me wrong, I love a nice warm bowl of oats, but with the heat warm oats don’t sound as appetizing. Instead I turn to my cereal and smoothies! Some people think [...]

Only 22 weeks into my pregnancy and I’m already feeling the urge to nest. I’ve never been a neat freak. Until I got married, I always lived with one, so my apathy always balanced out nicely with my roommate’s compulsiveness. Between my husband’s clutter and the tumbleweeds of dog hair rolling across the dining room [...]
