Mexican Quinoa Bowl

If I can be totally honest, I am not sure that I can completely support this whole Man-Crush-Monday, Woman-Crush-Wednesday, Throwback-Thursday phenomenon we have going on these days.

BUT Taco Tuesday is definitely something I can jump on board with. READ MORE

Edamame Hummus

Hello again! Today I am sharing a delicious and super easy dip that is sure to please. If you have ever had the very popular chickpea hummus, this variation is not much different. The flavors are pretty comparable but I find exchanging the edamame for the chickpeas is a great way to shake things up a bit. If you like hummus and you like edamame, this recipe is for you! If you have never had either, I highly suggest giving it a try and I bet you won’t be disappointed.

As the time passed I started reading more into it, my husband started trying it out and I eventually caved and took my first cold shower. READ MORE
