My mission to find awesome, fueling breakfast options continues. One can only eat so many Macrobars, amiright? (Who am I kidding. I would eat Macrobars 5 times a day if I thought I could get away with it nutritionally.) [Of late,…
Another goodie for you today that has been featured on Plate Joy, one heck of a fabulous online meal delivery service! Simple, nourishing, delicious: kind of everything FTGU is, just with better photos (and more of a guarantee these things…

Last week, Michael and I were out for a stroll with the pup in our fabulous new city. I can’t recall how we got onto the topic, but for some reason, Michael off-handedly said, “My ex-girlfriend used to make the…
The only thing I like more than healthified desserts is making healthified desserts and force-feeding them to other people and sharing them with people I like… or people I would like to coerce into liking me. Just kidding. Most recently, I…

This month, I am working on compiling all of my favorite yet-to-be-blogged recipes for a little cookbook project I have in the works. This one in particular is one of my favorites. Not only does it make a great little…

My name is Amy and I’m a hummus-aholic. You are, too? Excellent. Let’s hang out. I love hummus for several reasons, probably more reasons than I should. It’s a beautifully nourishing, fueling food: highlights of its health benefits include nearly…
Are you like me, holding onto squash like it’s going out of style? Secretly so sad for the day it stops being available at the farmers market? Kind of half-wishing that we could fast-forward to fall so squash can triumphantly return…
I read recently that we shouldn’t “trick ourselves into thinking bread is healthy, because it’s not”. Pretty tough, hey? But true. Oh so very true. Bread is one of those foods that I’d consider in the “fun” category… we don’t…
