Chocolate Espresso Protein Smoothie from The Lemon Bowl

When I decided to start the Blended series I knew that I wanted to create a desire to drink more smoothies, but I also thought that it would be a great way to share the love of some of my favorite food bloggers as well. Since most food bloggers have at least one smoothie recipe I thought it was the perfect catalyst to share some of my favorite bloggers with y'all! Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I'll be sharing my new smoothie recipes, and Tuesdays and Thursdays will be dedicated to some of ... continue reading...

Blended: An Introduction & Basics

Hello sweet friends! I am really excited to announce that for the month of April I'm going to be doing a series on smoothies called Blended! Now I'm sure some of you may be thinking that it sounds kind of lame. An entire month dedicated to smoothie recipes? Really? YES REALLY.   If you haven't been following along lately on my social media channels you might have missed some not-so-subtle hints about the fact that we, as a family, are aiming to eat better. To eat more whole foods. More ... continue reading...

12 Instagrammers You Should Totally Follow

Every blogger has their favorite social media outlet, and mine is (and by a long shot) Instagram. In blogging it's kind of assumed that any social media outlet you have should be utilized to promote the blog, which basically then means that all outlets are overtaken by a more business mindset. But y'all, Instagram is such a breath of fresh air for me!   I really only follow Instagrammers that really inspire me and create beautiful images. It's such a cool way to see amazing things ... continue reading...

How to Make a Coconut Oil Latte

Coffee. You all, I'm sure, know by now that I love the stuff. Most mornings I drink it straight from our $15 Mr. Coffee brewer, but I love dopio espressos or a good French press as well. In the summers I crave iced coffee like there's no tomorrow. Fun story: when we lived in Colorado I would be driving in the snow to work in a car with the seat warmers on, iced coffee in hand, and Jimmy Buffett blaring on the radio.   Too cool, right?   One of the biggest things I love ... continue reading...

On Humility in Blogging

From Julie & Julia: "Okay, maybe I'm being a little narcissistic. Okay, a 9.3 [on a scale of 10]. But what do you think a blog is? It's me, me, me, day after day!" I've been struggling lately. Struggling with fitting everything in every day. Struggling to put life first and the blog second. Struggling to put everything else first and then myself second. Struggling to sleep, to get my baby to sleep, to write, to fulfill ideas and promises and find a clear vision. And let's not even get ... continue reading...

Honey Sriracha Cashews

I'm not trying to brag or anything, because I know so many of you are stuck inside with gross snowy weather, but y'all - the SUN is SHINING these days, the air is warmer, and we are starting to see little blooms on some of the bushes we have outside. I'm getting ready for swimsuit season, minus the fact that I ate Ina Garten's Old Fashioned Apple Crisp for like 8 meals in a row this weekend. There have also been many gardening thoughts happening lately, with figuring out a raised bed situation ... continue reading...

Pineapple Pomegranate Baked Chicken Breasts

You guys know this expat Texan girl loves her some ranch dressing, right? I mean let's get real here - I honestly cannot think of a single savory dish that could not be made better with a hefty dose of ranch (either dressing or seasoning), and as far as I'm concerned it will always be that way. I usually always have a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix in my pantry for those times where regular flavors just won't do, but did you know (because I didn't) that Hidden Valley has some ... continue reading...

Sweet and Spicy Southwestern Vegetable Hash with Hardboiled Eggs

This content is sponsored by Great Day Farms, but all opinions are my own. Yesterday I had a surprise breakdown. Please tell me this happens to other people - you're having a great day, you're not suffering from an, ahem, monthly visitor, you're not stressed - but then suddenly you're crying uncontrollably.   Hopefully I'm not the only one here :)   Anyway, the idea of grace can sometimes escape me. After years of being a Christian I have yet to understand, fully and at ... continue reading...

Broiled Asparagus with Whipped Goat Cheese

This recipe is an original that I was contracted to create for the Arkansas Farm Bureau. I remember first discovering roasted or broiled asparagus. After years of enjoying it steamed with a little butter, I bit the bullet and oven-roasted it instead. The world was never the same. Let’s stop here and talk about roasted asparagus for a moment. It’s nutty, buttery in flavor all on its own, perfectly tender and slightly sweet. One wouldn’t think a vegetable could be so complex in flavor when ... continue reading...
