Hello, friends! February is here and it is one of my favorite months to make festive recipes. The first recipe I am going to share with you is one for these heart-shaped mini pizzas! They are super tasty, simple to make, and you will surely 'wow' a friend, a family member, or your special sweetie on Valentine's Day if you decide to whip some up for them.

Hi everyone! Today, I am sharing a super fun DIY project! If you've seen my Instagram, then you are probably familiar with my Golden Retriever, Dawson, and how completely obsessed I am with him! His toy collection is slowly starting to grow larger and larger (especially after how spoiled he was on Christmas by family and friends), so it recently outgrew its old toy basket.

I'm back again with yet another smoothie bowl recipe! I call this creation the 'tropical fiesta smoothie bowl' because for some reason, the shape and appearance of shredded coconut always reminds me of confetti and pinatas hahaha. And then of course this wouldn't be just a regular fiesta - but a tropical one instead - because of allll of the bright, tropical fruits!

First post of the New Year - woohoo! I hope 2018 is off to a great start for you all and boyyyy have I got an awesome recipe for you to try! So if you're a fan of breakfast or brunch, then you just hit the jackpot with this one. I call this creation 'avocado toast with the works' because this yummy toast has pretty much alllll of the best breakfast sandwich ingredients on it!

Wellllll hello there! I hope you all had a very merry Christmas and have been enjoying the holdiays! I can't believe the holiday season is coming to an end - it always flies by so quickly! But before it's over, I have to share this yummy smoothie bowl recipe with you all.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! You know what that means- it's time to share my Christmas gift wrapping for this year! Most people dread wrapping gifts, but I think that it is one of the most fun parts of the holiday season. I love getting to add my own special touches to each gift to truly make them pop.

Hello everyone! Today, I am sharing a fun, festive breakfast recipe! So yesterday when I was Christmas shopping (yes, I'm still not done yet), I came across this delectable-sounding pancake mix at World Market. The brand is My Favorite Pancake and Waffle Mix: Peppermint White Chocolate.

Hello all! So I just whipped up a new recipe for some pimped-out pumpkin spice pancakes and they are pretty darn delectable if I do say so myself. These pancakes taste like fall with every bite (you know, if fall had a taste) and chances are you'll probably become addicted to them (sorry bout it).

I've never met an acai smoothie bowl I didn't like *shrugs shoulders.* This smoothie bowl is pretty simple and easy to make, but ohhhh so delicious and packed with nutrients. You have to try it!

This rainbow smoothie bowl is the perfect, colorful treat to enjoy during a hot summer day (or any day, really). Although Friday was the first day of fall, where I live it still feels like summer with there being a high of 90 degrees today (OMG)!! Butttt it's bursting with flavor, will be sure to cool you down in a heart beat, and will make you feel like you're lounging on a tropical beach somewhere beautiful!

Summer is practically here and this greena colada smoothie bowl is a delicious, healthy treat to enjoy in the heat! I call this the 'greena colada' smoothie bowl because the main ingredients are pineapple and coconut - so, you get the satisfaction of having a tasty, frozen smoothie while also getting all of the nutritional benefits from the greens and superfoods included!

Well, these past six months with my sweet boy have flown right by and just like that - in the blink of an eye - he's already half a year old! He fills my heart with an immeasurable amount of joy and I could never imagine life without him. His 1/2 birthday was on Friday and we celebrated with a homemade pup cake, lots of kisses and belly scratches, and quality time at the park fetching tennis balls and chewing on sticks (I threw the balls... he chewed on the sticks).

Hello friends, world, everyone! It's been a long time since I've shared my last blog post and I apologize for being such a horrible blogger these past few months. A few blog posts back, I explained how life has been so busy and hectic and that is the main reason that I have been M.I.A. for a little bit. Also, after moving into my new place in the summer, I decided not to get internet (weird move for a blogger, right?).

Hello everyone -- happy Saturday! I hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving spent with family and friends and got to gobble 'til you wobbled! I made this tasty apple pie for my family and I and it was a huge hit. Of course with fall being my favorite season, I have a bunch of cute leaf-shaped cookie cutters. I used them for the crust to bring to life the crispness of the changing leaves outside in this pie!

Well it's about dang time the holidays are here... they're my absolute favorite! This is a rather lengthy post - I talk alllll about moving + what it's been like living on my own after college, share some photos of this year's Halloween decorations, and give step-by-step instructions (and a video) for a fun, Halloween DIY paper bat tutorial that costs less than $1! Yippee!

Hey there! Long time no see! It's been a crazy hectic summer and I am soooo behind on posting recipes - gahhhh! Between graduating, moving into my own new place, starting a new job, and preparing for grad school, it seems like the past few months have been nothing but a big blur. Over the next few weeks, I plan to post all of my recipes from this summer and play a good ole fashioned game of 'catch up.' First, I'm starting off with this festive, patriotic pie!

Someone pinch me... I must be dreaming. In just a few short weeks (18 days to be exact), my best friend and I will be GRADUATING from Virginia Commonwealth University! We are both health, physical education, and exercise science majors with a concentration in exercise science. I could not have possibly imagined getting through the past couple of years without her - especially our senior year! 

Happy Saint Patrick's day, y'all! Today marks the one-year anniversary of my first blog post - how exciting! For breakfast today, I had a festive rainbow fruit platter and a delicious green smoothie.
