Oh summertime, how delectable your fruits are. Peach season is in full swing in these parts and I may have gotten a bit carried away when picking last week and ended up with way more peaches than I knew what to do with. That’s a lie, I totally knew what to do: devour them! TheyRead more
This purple people eater is a delicious summer-time treat. It’s crazy hot in the DC area now, so flavorful, nutrient-dense drinks are super appealing. I used the blackberries Mom and I picked last week (in the rain…so much more pleasant than roasting in the sun). This is also a great use of bananas that areRead more

These are a few of my favorite things. Baked oatmeals are a favorite go-to breakfast for something a little extra special for company or for making ahead. And of course you can’t go wrong with banana bread! So this combo definitely caught my eye. The bananas in this caramelize and add a deep richness thatRead more
