We went to Sorrento, Italy two summers ago, and I think we had some form of caprese salad every single day. When we arrived at our AirBnB, our sweet host had a basket of fresh tomatoes out for us which he had just picked from his garden. It was seriously one of the best pairings– the freshly picked basil, a creamy, thick slice of mozzarella cheese, a juicy, tomato slice and of course, a generous drizzle of balsamic.

Well. This recipe has been a long time coming. While our favorite thing in the world is a fresh baked chocolate cookie, banana bread comes in as a very close second. We have both tested banana breads many, MANY times (not that we are complaining!) to ensure we created the perfect recipe to share with you on behalf on this homemade staple.

Protein. Does that word conjure up mental images of huge body builders, grunting as they hurl tires for mile long stretches? Protein seems to be the main focal point of every recipe we make, and for good reason. Body building benefits aside, protein is vital for our overall health, and we love finding new and creative ways to get our protein fix in. Continue reading
If you are even a little bit in the loop in the food blog community, there is a distinct possibility you have seen the Life Changing Tahini Cookie recipe from Kale Junkie. Guys, this recipe is UNREAL. The texture is so mind blowing and fluffy, and we truly praise her for creating such an incredible baked good. While they are honestly perfect as is, we have a huge weakness for good ol’ fashion peanut butter and wanted to make this recipe our own. We played around with it a bit and found a way to combine a recipe we love with an ingredient we love!
Can cookie recipes EVER get old? No. The answer is no, always. But what’s a gal to do when she wants an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie but hates raisins? We have you covered with this Oatmeal Blueberry Cookie recipe. 3/4 heaven, 1/4 blueberry (Not the real recipe, interestingly enough. You will have to read below for the real thing…)
We fell head over heels for our Sundried Tomato Turkey Burgers, and wanted to create a similar recipe using chicken. But throw in the holy grail of ingredients… CHEESE. We may be protein lovers, but above all, our hearts belong to cheese. What better way to celebrate ooey gooey goodness than pack it in a protein patty?
WE GET IT. Breakfast is the most wonderful part of the day. We are constantly looking for new, delicious breakfast options while ensuring we start our days off in a healthy way. We were in New York last week for work and felt inspired to make our own bagel recipe to have a taste of NYC at home. These low carb, gluten free bagels will become a staple to your breakfast menus. AND they are protein packed. And look cute on Instagram. And are delicious. What more could you ask for?
We are lovers of all things saucy. We admit: meal prepping can feel so repetitive, especially when you are recycling the same healthy protein options week by week. Our solution to this is simple: sauces. Sauces for dunking, coating, drizzling, enjoying and taking our meals to the next level.
Kale is the ugly step duckling of the vegetable world. It quite literally looks ugly, given the bumpy look of the leaf. It also had a terrible reputation until people seemed to learn how to prepare it, starting in about 2014. Over the years, kale has made great strides, and we are pleased to see it on more and more menus. When prepared right, it has great texture and incredible health benefits.
Coming at you with a recipe that you will need to keep in your fridge or freezer at all times. Crunchy Cookie Dough Cups are our obsession because not only could we eat cookie dough every day, but the crunch takes these to the next level. We recipe tested this four times to make sure it was just perfect, and have made it multiple times ever since, because we cannot get enough! Continue reading
