These healthy blueberry biscuits are a vegan recipe that comes together with just a handful of ingredients and couple minutes of prep time. Perfect for breakfast, brunch or snack time! My Blueberry Picking Trip Every year, I love to go fruit picking at a local farm. I usually do apple and pumpkin picking come early fall. And in the summertime, I think it's fun to pick different seasonal fruits. I've been in New Jersey with my family since July, since selling my home in Connecticut. I'm not too familiar with the farms here in Monmouth County, and wanted to find a place to go berry picking with my toddler. I had my heart set on blueberry picking for the first time. Most of the farms around here were already picked over when I was searching in mid July (partly thanks to a ... [Read More]

Healthy Cherry Berry Cobbler {dairy free}
Who else has been soaking up the season and eating a ton of summertime fruit? Today's cherry berry cobbler is a healthier take on traditional fruit cobbler - sans butter and white flour, packed with fresh fruit and bursting with flavor. Instead, we use whole wheat flour, coconut oil, and a moderate amount of honey and cane sugar. I've been loving fresh cherries lately and I constantly am eating blueberries year-round, so it seemed like the perfect fruit pairing. I love that cobbler is perfectly acceptable any time of day for dessert, brunch, or a snack. Just take your pick! If making it for brunch, I like to pair it with yogurt or serve it all on its own. If making for dessert, I'm all about throwing a scoop of vanilla ice cream in there. Any way you slice it, this cherry berry cobbler ... [Read More]

Can you guys believe that we're in the last full week of August? I'm starting to get a twinge of excitement for all things autumn - including everything pumpkin, weather that's a bit cooler, and football season getting underway.

BUT I also don't like to get ahead of myself and try to enjoy what's happening now, so I'm enjoying the summer summer summertimeeeee. I've been doing beach yoga, this weekend I'm going paddle boarding, and I've been noshing on ... [Read More]
Apple Blueberry Oatmeal Ramekin Crisps
Like any good foodie, at any given time, I have a couple of foods, meals, grocery spots, and kitchen tools that I'm particularly loving. Lately, I've been obsessed with a grocery store near me called Frazier Farms Market. They look like your typical big food store, but they carry a lot of specialty items that I can't find elsewhere, and are actually reasonably priced. My favorite part about Frazier Farms? They're not a chain store! I love supporting small business. They have 2 locations, both of which are nearby, and they carry a ton of locally made products, like cheese from farms in my county and honey from bee keepers located in the town next to me. Naturally, I've been obsessed with the above pictured honey. I love honey in general, but locally made unfiltered honey is even better. I ... [Read More]
