This no-cook, fresh “jam” is perfect for a light breakfast or spooned over oatmeal, toast, pancakes or waffles. I finally get it when people say they aren’t hungry for breakfast. I am not sure if it’s aging or what, but over the past few months I have had no desire to eat breakfast. I don’t…
Avocado Egg Toast
Did everyone have a nice long weekend? We went to the beach in Galveston, Texas to visit family and had a great weekend just hanging out. I really miss living close to the water, the beach in particular as I had about 8 years living less than a mile to the beach in California and Hawaii. I love…
Ginger and Soy Shrimp With Bean Sprouts and Snow Peas
Hello and happy Monday! How was your weekend? I am making a little more progress in the house which feels great. We just need to replace some things that were damaged in the move, have another hanging session and take a few loads to Goodwill. But we are settling into our new home. The kids…

I have been craving cheesecake ever since national cheesecake day so was set out on a mission. This little tasty treat is…
Salmon Salad BLT
Helllllo! Can I just express my frustration at this thing called technology? Since we’ve had our internet set up- 3 weeks I guess? the service has been terrible. Unbearable really. I have hardly been able to get any work done because I guess disconnected every 5 minutes. Seriously one of the most frustrating things when…
Watermelon Cucumber Salad
I vowed to never make a watermelon salad. In fact I wouldn’t look twice at watermelon salad recipes. I don’t know, I just had this thing about wanting my watermelon plain and not adding it to vegetables. Then I think back to my days of counseling when I’d encourage my clients or patients to try new…
Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken
Hey friends! I am busting out my slow cooker to bring you a super simple chicken recipe using store-bought salsa verde (salsa verde with avocado to be exact). The kids had their last day of school on Wednesday, ending with a packed schedule of field trips and other appointments. And we’ve been in full moving…
Vegan Blueberry Pancakes & Meal Planning Monday!
Whether you are vegan, cooking for friends and family who are vegan or just run out of eggs and cow’s milk, this is a fantastic pancake recipe. You can hardly tell the difference from “regular pancakes” and these have become one of my favorites. The cinnamon really comes through which I just loved. It’s been…
