I have been insanely busy of late. I know what you are thinking (because I’m psychic), “everyone is busy lately”. Well, OK. So how do you handle it? I don’t usually mind being crazy busy as long as my time spent is not wasted. This too has happened recently, but I am lifting up and…
Margherita Pizza with Fresh Basil Pesto & Vegan Mozzarella
I know time does not technically change again until November, but I can tell that it is changing each morning. My biological clock has been sleeping in a bit later due to the morning rays being a little behind what they were only a few weeks ago. I haven’t decided if I like this or…
Basil Pesto Zoodles with Tomatoes & Roasted Red Peppers
This weekend was Columbia’s annual Palmetto Tasty Tomato Festival. This is my personal favorite food and music festival that Soda City has to offer! All the local vendors get together to promote farm to table foods and sustainable practices. The event is actually held at City Roots farm too, doesn’t get much cooler than that!…
Super Simple Potato Curry
There are times that even I, lover of the kitchen, do not want to spend a long time cooking. Those times are far and few between, but they do occur on occasion. When this happens, we often throw a frozen pizza in the oven and call it a day. Sometimes, though, I’m craving something a…
Better Than Chick’N’ Salad
I am not sure if chicken salad is a southern, American, or entire world thing…but it is definitely a Jenn thing. Or was, I should say. I would crave crazy amounts of chicken salad and when I did I wanted it fast and loaded. There was no doubt in my mind I had to come…
Extreme Lean Green Veggie Bowl

Easy Peanut Sesame Zoodles
So this past weekend the husband and I ventured away from our usual theater (we had a gift card) to go see Jurassic World. We were both quite excited as we are both movie fanatics and dinosaur lovers. Well, about 30 minutes into the film, the power goes out in the theater. We waited, breathing…
Healthy Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes {Vegan}
There really is nothing quite like a messy, sticky, sloppy joe. I always got excited when it was sloppy joe day in my day care as a kid and not much has changed. I was just as excited to have sloppy joe day this past weekend. There is something about that sweet and salty texture…
The Ultimate Mac and Double Cheeze
When I was taking Economy in college at the University of South Carolina, I had a British professor that forever changed my thoughts on macaroni and cheese. I was of the understanding that mac and cheese was a universal dish that everyone loved. It just made sense to me, who doesn’t love pasta loaded…
Sweet and Savory Bean Salad
Is everyone having a wonderful Cinco de Mayo? I hope it’s filled with a Mexican variety of delectable flavors to include salsa, guacamole, tacos and margaritas! Those are 4 of my favorite things on this planet!!! I actually made a salsa for my work pals today in honor of it; I will share the recipe…
