September 4, 2014 Hello Tasty Thursday! It has been awhile since I posted a recipe (I think the last one was a little over a month ago).

Running with Spoon’s Banana Oat Greek Yogurt Muffins Ambitious Kitchen’s Skinny Zucchini Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Eating Bird Food’s…

Tasty Thursday – Canadian Edition, Ey!

Today I will be sharing some of the delicious food I ate while in Montreal and Quebec City.  These two cities are in Canada’s Quebec province and have a strong French influence because of French rule in the 1500s. Next week Tasty Thursday will be back to its regular programming and have a recipe :) Crepes galore!! Savory crepe. Sweet crepe. Portuguese egg tarts (also known as po-tarts) at the Jean Talon market… sooo good! The last time I had…

Tasty Thursday – Georgian Edition!

My internet connection has been spotty so I thought I would share some of the delicious dishes I tried during my visit to the Republic of Georgia.  You may recall seeing pictures of some of the Turkish food I ate a couple weeks ago. I will resume my Turkish/Georgian vacation recap next week. The Republic of Georgia is located in the Caucasus; it is bordered by Russia, Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Khachapuri, oooh so yummy. It is a traditional dish…

Tasty Thursday – Balsamic Pork Roast

July 31, 2014 A few weeks ago I made Skinnytaste’s Crockpot Sesame Honey Chicken. I LOVED it!

Tasty Thursday – Blueberry Overnight Oats

July 10, 2014 Another overnight oats post?  I know I know……I am a bit behind on the overnight oats train (I suppose I would fall in the ‘late majority’ category.. ok… enough nerding).  I’ve pinned so many recipes, but never got my act together to make it.  When I go running with my old roommate Rachel, we usually spend time talking food (of course).  During our last run, Rachel mentioned she made overnight oats for the first time and it…

Check out the following FOJ Fails..pretty funny:  Fourth of July Nail Art  Red, White and Blue Pinwheel Cookies  Red, White and…
