RECIPE: Sweet Potato Fries

You can say I'm a bit obsessed with sweet potato fries. Normally, I don't like sweet potatoes at all, except in fry form. I have bought frozen fries to bake for a snack, but I wanted to see if I could come up with a recipe that was easy and still yummy. Luckily, I think I've got one!!

Recipe: Sweet Corn & Squash Fritters

I'm always on the hunt for vegetarian recipes that are delicious and when I found this one I was so excited to try it. Now I didn't stick exactly to the recipe. I believe in changing it up to make it your own which is exactly what I did. 

You can find the original recipe here

Breakfast Break 2

Weekends are a time for relaxation and an amazing breakfast. Normally I would be ready to eat up some pancakes, but recently I've been on an egg kick. My favorite way to eat them is scrambled, I'm obsessed with scrambled eggs. 

Saturday I decided eggs were the way to go and usually I'll have toast with them, but I had half of a bagel instead. Of course I knew I needed a little green on my plate so I opted (of course) for half of an avocado. 

To spice up the eggs I added some fresh ground black pepper, some Himalayan pink salt, and tarragon. With a little sprinkle of cheddar cheese and some avocado on top, my eggs were ready. I toasted the bagel, spread some cream cheese, and my trusty avocado mash. 

This is probably going to turn into my favorite weekend breakfast and it really doesn't take up that much time either.

Crop Tops and Skirts Too

I've never done an Outfit of the Day post on here mainly because I rarely escape from the jeans/t-shirt life throughout the week. But hey it was the weekend, I was going shopping, so might as well pull out all the stops!

Since I knew I was going to be out shopping and trying clothes on all day, I wanted to wear items that were easy to take off in the dressing room. I opted for a black cotton skater skirt and a boxy crop top to be comfortable, but stylish all day.

I'm in Love! (with Food)

I have been on the hunt for a monthly snack subscription box that I actually wanted and I think I've finally found it. I had heard about Love with Food maybe around February and thought about trying it but just never committed to it. Finally the end of last month I gave in and started my subscription. I received my first snack box this week and I'm so excited to write about it! 

Here's a little bit of a backstory on Love with Food. All of their snacks are organic or all-natural and delivered to you every month. If you like a certain snack you get you can buy it online in their store. My favorite part is that with every box sold they donate a meal to a food bank! They have over 100,000 meals donated already and the number keeps rising. 
Below the jump you'll find an offercode that will get you a FREE snack box (a $10 value) and all you have to pay for is the $2 shipping.

Breakfast Break

You hear it all the time "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." But most of us don't have time to make a huge breakfast that will satisfy us until lunch. I've decided to start posting about easy and quick breakfast ideas that won't take too long in the morning and will keep you satisfied. 

This morning I was craving avocado (more than usual because I always want avo) so I scooped a half of an avocado into a bowl and smashed it up. For seasoning, I used 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice, black pepper, pink Himalayan salt, garlic powder, and a ton of cayenne pepper. Then I toasted half of a bagel to spread my avocado mixture on. Of course I had to have my daily cup of coffee with unsweetened almond milk. I was so pleased with the taste and how filling it was. Plus the avocado provides a lot of essentials vitamins and nutrients that your body needs.

5 Camping Essentials

So every summer my family and I go camping and honestly I leave a good amount of makeup and hair products at home because ain't nobody got time to be all made up when you're just gonna sweat it off. That's not a cute look. However there are a few items that I definitely bring with me just to liven up my face in the morning and my hair after a day of swimming.
