There was a time in my life, I’d say maybe the last 3-4 years where I wasn’t a chocolate fan. Shocking to any of my friends and family who knew me growing up as I would be the one to order every chocolate-filled dessert at any restaurant we went to and loved brownies, fondue and s’mores. Oh and my mom’s homemade chocolate cake. Sign me up! Anything that involved chocolate - I wanted. But as I ...
Quick and Easy 15 Minute Grain-Free Pesto Pizza
It might be a new year but I’m still the same old me… I love making the most convenient meals, love pizza and want to consume it pretty much every week. For the majority of my college years, I really had a “food fear” of pizza, carbs and meat… within the last 2 years, however, I really feel like I’ve been at such a good place mentally where I enjoy eating all the foods. Whether it’s a thick crust ...
My Absolute Favorite Paleo-Friendly Turkey Meatballs
Just another Saturday over here in quarantine and so far I've ate these healthified copycat Reese eggs from my friend Jessica's blog, napped, watching more episodes of Younger (I haven't watched this much tv since I was in grade school) and drank water. A classic day over here lately. My hope is to go for a walk since it's super nice today and I'm pretty sure I haven't seen or felt fresh air in 48 ...
Turmeric Garlic and Chicken Sandwich
Happy Saturday, friends! I just finished a new hot yoga class at my go-to gym, Studio Three, and I am ready to eat the entirety of a Whole Foods store. But instead, I’m going to have this magical creation I whipped up with Cedar's Foods instead. Good move, Addie, good move. When Cedar’s Foods reached out to me to collaborate with them I was silently jumping for joy. As my name has “chickpea” in ...
Seasonal Squash and Cranberry Club Sandwich
Let's get one thing straight. Nothing beats a club sandwich. When I think of the classic go-to American meal, it's not a hamburger or hot dog (although those two might be in my head after that Cubs game last night - woo Cubbies!). It's a sandwich piled high with turkey, bacon, lettuce, mayo and tomato. If you were to ask my mom what she made me growing up on special occasions and for most of my ...
Roasted Sweet Potato and Chickpea Flatbread
Chickpeas. And kale. And sweet potatoes. If I was stranded on an island and I could only have three things those just might be it. I mean, how could I be stranded on an island without hummus?! Ugh, what a sad thought. Since I started eating healthier in high school, I've become a hummus enthusiast. I mean, after all my blog has the word "chickpea" in it. The summer I started my blog (2014), I was ...
