Between working almost every day, some times twice a day, it's hard to find time to cook for oneself... But there are certainly ways that it can be accomplished! Just think, it's so much better to cook for yourself; knowing every ingredient that goes into your food, and there's nothing that you can't pronounce! Not to mention, there's a feeling of pride when you take a bite of that delicious home made meal.
Josh and I both work a lot so time management is big. These mini quiches take no time at all, and they're the perfect make ahead meal - feel free to freeze or refrigerate for later.

No recipe here unfortunately, but they're coming soon! Today I've got another PDF download for you guys! Keep sprucing up your kitchen by posting these cute quotes all over your fridge!
Julia Child surely knows what she's talking about in this quote. :)

Lets talk about pomegranates for a second... they're kinda strange, right? In my opinion, it's kind of hard to work with the fruit to get to all of those delicious little seeds, called arils. Whatever the method you use to attain them (there are plenty of tutorials online) it's worth it. They're juicy, sweet, and not to mention pretty. Oh, and the seeds are very good for you, so don't be shy when snacking on them. 

Bowls have to be my new favorite fad. I've always loved burrito bowls... Buddha bowls are great, and now, I can say that I've tried the infamous smooth bowl! Josh and I are usually not really up to date with what's "trendy" but after seeing what people were doing with smoothie bowls, we decided we had to give it a try. On top of being absolutely delicious, smoothie bowls are also super aesthetically pleasing! Oh, and not to mention, easy to put together, and easy to clean up. It's a win-win.



Josh and I had our smoothie bowls for breakfast. There was a bit of time that I was making loaded smoothies for breakfast, and the bowl has taken it to a whole new level. Toppings really add a lot to it. So I'm going to pass on the recipe for our Tropical Smoothie Bowl.

I have to start off by saying that I'm a firm believer that biscuits and gravy for breakfast is the ultimate hang over cure. Here in Carbondale, there are several restaurants that serve biscuits and gravy, none of which have disappointed me. (If you're ever in town, you've gotta try Harbaugh's, Long Branch's, and Mary Lou's biscuits and gravy!) I honestly hadn't tried biscuits and gravy until moving down to Carbondale... now it's one of my favorite cravings.
Sometimes, when feeling hung over, you're not really in the mood to cook in the morning. Maybe all you can muster is to put the coffee pot on. Lucky for you, this recipe is easily made ahead of time, stored, and reheated in the morning. :)


Okay, so this isn't exactly biscuits and gravy - maybe a biscuits and gravy... muffin? No matter what you want to call this, it's a great, very easy make ahead breakfast. In our pictures we used chorizo because Josh and I both really love our food spicy, however, feel free to use breakfast sausage, spicy sausage, or mild, whatever sounds good to you - go meatless!

Josh and I almost always have some sort of leafy green in the fridge. I like them for salads, dinner dishes, and even smoothies. This time around we had a bunch of spinach.

Josh and I were just in Nashville this past weekend. The trip was amazing. Every time we go back I find it harder and harder to go back to Carbondale. I've got the moving bug - or maybe a travel bug - I seriously want to see everything (and taste everything.) In Music City it seems as if there is never a dull moment, whether it's considering music, or dining.
We started off our trip with a concert at the Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville: Tedeschi Trucks Band. If you haven't heard of them, give them a listen. Susan Tedeschi has some amazing pipes, and Derek Trucks' slide guitar will surely make you swoon.
