My life in a nutshell = figs. Enough said.
PAN ROASTED OKRA | What are your thoughts on okra? To tell you the truth, I never gave okra much thought until recently. I knew it as the green circular vegetable in my gumbo and when it is breaded and fried, but I never really considered okra a vegetable to eat everyday. . That is until I realized how delicious okra is pan fried. Many people avoid cooking okra on its own because it has a slimy texture, but when prepared properly with a vinegar soak it can be pan roasted to be browned and delicious. . Are you ready to change your mind about okra? Let me know show you the super simple, 7 ingredient recipe that will make you change your tune and fall in love with okra.

ROASTED TOMATO LEEK SOUP | I was never a fan of tomato soup, honestly. I did not like the canned creamy and over-salted version that sat in our cupboard as a child (uneaten, not surprisingly). It wasn’t until I tried a taste of homemade tomato and basil soup at a friend’s house a few years ago that I considered trying my hand at making my own. . And boy am I glad I did, because this Roasted Tomato Leek Soup is now famous in our house. . During tomato season in late summer and early fall this soup is a weekly occurrence. And when the market down the road puts one pound bags of tomatoes on sale for $0.99 you can believe that I’m coming home with bags full of tomatoes. It’s all I can do to find recipes to use them up, and this tomato soup is one of my favorites. . Simple vegan Roasted Tomato Leek Soup recipe on the blog! How are YOU using up the season's freshest tomatoes? . . . . . . #eattherainbow #eatseasonal #locavore #nothingisordinary #farmersmarket #farmtofork #farmtotable #lifeandthyme #foragebyfolk #feedfeed #tastingtable #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #feedyoursoul #iamwellandgood #vegansofig #gatheringslikethese #livecolorfully #inmykitchen #inspiremyinstagram #foodblogeats #nourishyourbody #organicmoments #eatmoreplants #hearthealthy #myopenkitchen #thechalkboardeats #tomato #soup

SALTED HONEY FIG TOAST | What is it about toast that gets us all in a tizzy? Someone could offer me a bowl of yogurt with figs and honey and I would turn up my nose, but the minute they say it’s on toast…I’m all in. . It’s fresh fig season here and it’s all I can do not to buy myself out of house and home stocking up on them. Figs have found their way onto my oatmeal, into my pancakes, on top of my cheese, in my salads, and now on my morning (and afternoon) toast. . This simple four-ingredient Salted Honey Fig Toast recipe combines the season’s freshest figs with a bit of whipped vanilla ricotta on top of seedy, hearty toast. It’s then topped off with a drizzle of honey and flaked sea salt for that oh-so delicious sweet and salty combination. . Get the recipe on the blog!

SLOW DOWN SUNDAY | Have you ever stopped to notice your energy ebbs and flows? I've been trying to pay special attention to my creative energy rollercoaster. Sometimes I'm exploding with ideas, creativity, and motivation, while other days I'm drained and in need of a recharge. But many times we ignore our mind and body signals and push ourselves until burn out. . Instead of forcing it when it's not there, I'm learning to ride the motivation train when it comes to town and hop off when I feel it going away. It's been interesting to get a feel for what fuels my creativity (rest, cat cuddles, good food, good wine) and what drains it (social media!). . On today's "Notes from the Road" post I'm talking about this and all of my favorite things from this week: the podcasts I have on repeat, the soundtrack I can't get enough of, and the new book series I'm tearing through. I'd love to hear what YOU are reading ,eating, and listening to, I need suggestions! . New Notes from the Road post on the blog, link in profile! . . . . . . #startwithwhy #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #doitfortheprocess #makersgonnamake #communityovercompetition #postitfortheaesthetic #risingtide #dontquityourdaydream #handsandhustle #nothingisordinary #pursuepretty #calledtobecreative #creativityfound #dowhatyoulove #slowdownsunday #slowliving #catsofinstagram #caturday #catstagram #catsofinstagram #darlingweekend #wellness #healthy #intentional #intentionalliving #goodvibes #goodenergy
HOMEMADE MAPLE WALNUT GRANOLA | To say I’m an “oatmeal” person is an understatement. I can safely say I have eaten oats for breakfast at least four days a week for the last…ten years?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Does that make me basic? Maybe. But I don’t care, oats are delicious.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oats are such an easy and flexible first meal and I’ve been known to get a bit creative with my toppings. Cranberries and maple for fall, strawberries and cream for summer and every fresh seasonal fruit in between.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I don’t have to write an ode to oats for you to understand – oatmeal is not a novel or new ingredient and its been done before. What I’m here to talk to you about is the magic that happens when oats are baked and turn into something even more delicious…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Granola. Maple Walnut Granola, to be exact. Get the so-easy recipe on the blog now!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #darlingweekend #flashesofdelight #pursuepretty #petitejoys #eatlocal #feedyoursoul #farmfresh #seasonalfood #farmtofork #fellowmag #goop #healthyish #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #farmersmarketinspo #iamwellandgood #darlingdaily #eatgoodfeelgood #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #eatrealfood #justeatrealfood #healthfoodshare #realfood #sunsetmag #eatherainbow #livecolorfully #granola #feedfeed #beautifulcuisines
HOMEMADE BLOODY MARY MIX | It’s Friday and it’s happy hour! . To say I love a spicy Bloody Mary is an understatement. Blood Marys are one of my favorite “event” drinks, meaning a cocktail so good entire social events are planned around them. Most cocktails are those you could drink every day (though as a dietitian I do not condone daily cocktails, but you do you) but some are so good you need to save them for a special event. . Margaritas, martinis, Bloody Marys…we plan entire events around these cocktails. Margarita nights, yes. Martini nights, definitely. Blood Mary brunch? Absolutely. Vodka tonic nights? Mmm, doesn’t have the same ring to it. . So now that it’s tomato season and we have tomatoes coming out of our ears, I needed to dream up a way to use the leftovers we had that didn’t involve tomato soup or caprese ciabatta. Enter the homemade bloody mary mix! .
