It’s chickpea pasta with twice the protein and about half the net carbs as traditional pasta. The company recently sent me a box of three different types of their pasta. I got a little extra creative with the free stuff;...

So, I’ve been reluctant to make overnight oats for a long time. I think it’s because I’m not a huge fan of oatmeal. I know I’m really selling this blog post 🙂 Anyways, I finally caved and Oh. My. Goodness. Why have I been so stubborn when it comes it overnight oats?? They’re so good! And so not boring (like I think oatmeal is). Now that I’ve tried them and...

This dish is crazy good you guys! It’s a great easy weekday...

And there is no better combination than cheese...

Although I love fall, I desperately miss the summer flavors as it gets colder. And when it starts snowing I REALLY miss summer. Come January, there is nothing better than summer in a bottle via canned tomatoes. I have spent the last two weekends canning tomatoes so I make this Red Wine Tomato Basil Sauce all winter long. September is the BEST time for canning – the produce is perfect...
