Recipe Round Ups

20 of my favorite berry recipes that will get you excited for summer! Berries are amazing for breakfast but also in baked goods and dessert!

This post is all about berries!

While I try to eat seasonally, I have to be honest, I am guilty of buying pints of berries in the middle of January. 

And then also guilty of proceeding complain to M about how sour and tart they are. 

Well, luckily, berries are in season right now (mid-May), and I’m loving how ripe and juicy they are.

Each week I like to alternate between raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. 

Usually I throw them in as a topping for an easy breakfast, but friends, I also have recipes with them. 

In case you’re berry obsessed as well, I thought I’d share some of my favorite ways to use berries in breakfasts, baked goods, and desserts. 

My criteria for this round up was that the recipes must use fresh berries, and must incorporate the berry INTO the recipe and not simply be a topper. 

Clearly, I needed to narrow it down because I have so many berry-licious recipes on F&V already!

10 immunity boosting recipes to support your wellness this winter season. Incorporate these delicious recipes and stay well!

Everyone that I know is sick right now, including yours truly. 

Yeah, there’s a lot of gross stuff going around right now. 

I thought maybe I’d met my “sick” quota after being sick while traveling, but M and I promptly came down with something the day after arriving home. 

There’s nothing like the stress of traveling to lower your immunity and pick up all the germs, right? 

So right now I’m focusing on being well like it’s my J-O-B. 

I’m taking my probiotics, I’m eating my vitamin gummies, and I’m drinking water, kombucha, and hot tea. 

It’s hard because I had visions of jumping right back into work after being home, but the universe is forcing me into the dreaded “r” word.

Rest. 

Honestly, I actually had a completely different recipe planned to share with you today, but I think we (read: I) need some immunity boosting a little more. 

I did a little research on some foods that can help support immunity, and many of the foods are ones I enjoy on a regular basis!

I rounded up 10 recipes that each include an ingredient(s) that will help keep you well as we make our way through the depths of winter. 

Bookmark this recipe roundup whenever you need a little wellness boost.

Let me know what you try, and please, stay well, friends!

Labor Day Recipe Round Up with vegan and gluten-free mains, side dishes, and no-bake desserts that are perfect to celebrate the end to summer!

What if I told you that Christmas is a shocking four months away? 

That’s right, friends, we have only FOUR months to make our lists, check them twice, and then deck the halls. 

This year is flying by at a pace I can’t quite comprehend. 

But for now, let’s be present, let’s be in the moment, and let’s enjoy the end of summer. 

Labor Day always feels like a bittersweet ending, doesn’t it? 

It’s hard to imagine that other countries don’t have such a pronounced “end to summer”. 

Here in the U.S., I think most of us would agree that it feels like an abrupt end to to summer days.

It’s the last chance to jump in the public pool, the last day to fashionably wear white (No one listens to that, do they?), and the last weekend of summer break for kids. 

That’s a whole lot of lasts. 

But we should make those lasts, last, ya know? 

So I collected a bunch of my favorite recipes that I think you should eat before summer is over as a part of your Labor Day spread. 

Historically, my family did a classic American spread of burgers, chips, watermelon, and pie. 

This Labor Day Recipe Round Up pays homage the classic burger bonanza while offering options for vegan and gluten-free appetizers, sides, and desserts. 

Enjoy the last bit of summer and let me know which recipes you’re *so* glad you tried before September ends.
