Ah, the weekend. Such a great time to get some housecleaning done, visit with family or friends, or just lay on the couch and do nothing (and not feel guilty about it!). On the weekends I don’t usually do a whole lot of extravagant cooking unless I am hosting a little get together. I like
Gluten Free
Creamy Vegan Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Soup
I was pretty sad to miss thanksgiving dinner when Justin and I were away on our trip. Not that I’m complaining that we spent it in London, which was really cool too, I just missed the family get together we have every year for it! So, when my sister invited me out to her place

A Taste of London & Heavenly Lemon Blueberry Scones
London, what a great city! If I could use one word to describe this city it would be “GRAND”. The monuments, the buildings, the Abbey, the London Eye, Buckingham, Picadilly Circus, the buses, the markets, the parks, EVERYTHING is just so GRAND! Justin and I were lucky enough to find a hotel in Westminster,

A Taste of Austria & Light Apple Strudel
The hillllls are aliiiiiveeee….with the sound of muuuu… OK. Sorry. I had to. I’m pretty sure I sang that song, in an opera-like voice about 10 times during our little jaunt in Austria. But honestly, the hills were alive, I mean look at that picture above, just beautiful! I seriously wanted to put on

Breakfast
Apple Pie Oatmeal
This is such an easy and delicious recipe. I’m putting it under the breakfast category but I think this could be easily enjoyed as a snack or lunch too, especially on a cold Fall day. The great thing about this recipe is there is no added sugar and it really doesn’t need it! The natural sugars

Healthy No-Bake Fudge
I had this recipe for this delicious fudge given to me by my lovely coworker! Shout-out to you Patty! It’s a lovely little treat that I have been munching away at in little bits to curb my cravings for something sweet. I love this fudge because it is so easy to make, can be kept

Dinner
Mini Tropical Chicken Pizzas (on the grill!)
I’ll let you all in on a little secret… I LOVE PIZZA. The crispy crust, gooey cheese, delicious and flavorful toppings. Mmmm yup, I do! Unfortunately, pizza hasn’t always agreed with me, so I usually avoid eating it, especially out at a restaurant when it’s white bread topped with too much cheese, oil and well
