Last weekend we went camping in Macedonia State Park. It was beautiful. Our campsite was nestled along a babbling brook. I had always thought that was just an expression, babbling brook, but I will admit this brook convinced me other wise. It made such a peaceful sound as it moved over the stones. Listening to that…
Mustard Marinaded Pork Tenderloin
Yum Last weekend something very disappointing happened. We were supposed to go camping, which is something I have not done in a while. We used to go all the time when I was a kid and I loved it. Being out in the woods, cooking over a fire, I thought it was the best…
Sauteed Cabbage with Bacon
This week I have been insanely bored. I am not sure why, just having one of those weeks where I am going stir crazy for no reason…does that ever happen to you? For a couple of days I thought I was going to get to take a last minute cruise up the New England to…
Roasted Almond Honey Clusters
This year I have decided to be more adventurous with my garden than normal. I planted all the usual culprits of course, tomatoes, zucchini, squash and cucumbers…but I also broke outside of my comfort zone and planted some jalapeno and poblano peppers, strawberries, and several types of lettuce. Now for all the very seasoned gardeners…
Frozen Chocolate Bananas
In honor of this beautiful weather I am experiencing I wanted to make a frozen treat to enjoy on those warm summer days. I have had frozen bananas before as an ice cream substitute and found them surprisingly satisfying. Since I dont have a banana ice cream maker I decided to dip them in chocolate and freeze them instead. I mean how could that turn out bad right?

Roasted Corn & Bacon Guacamole
Yum This week Sara is on vacation in Florida, which means I am all alone. When you work from home and your only coworker goes on vacation you realize what little contact you actually have with the outside world. Most of the day it is just me and the dogs…all alone. Don’t feel bad for…
Tequila Lime Chicken
Okay, so this weekend my boyfriend and I are throwing our first party together. We are having a joint birthday BBQ at our place. Since our birthdays are 3 weeks apart, we decided that a joint party made the most sense. And my boyfriend…being a typical guy…has lived in his place for a while now and…
Our Favorite Real Food Recipes
If you couldn’t tell by now…Sara and I love food and we love to cook. While we enjoy playing in the kitchen and creating our own recipes, we also love other food blogs and frequently try other people’s recipes. We follow other bloggers to learn new things, get ideas and just to try new…
Almond Butter Protein Balls
Personally, I have often found that snacks and lunches are the most challenging aspect of clean eating. It can be difficult to find clean foods that are easily portable, healthy, satisfying and still tasty. Over the last couple of months I have gone on a personal mission of trying to come up with delicious clean…
