  • RECIPE: Iced Hazelnut Latte with Toffee Sauce Drizzle

    Earlier this month, Vitacost alerted me that August is National Coffee Month! I was so overwhelmed with gratitude when so many of you made my Iced Tahini Mocha a few months ago, so I’m excited to share another coffee recipe with you. Last summer, I got hooked on drinking homemade iced lattes – more specifically, ones…

  • RECIPE: Chocolate Toffee Oats

    Last week, I accidentally created a new sauce recipe and we’ve been hooked on it ever since. I set out to create a caramel sauce, but after asking Josh to try it, we decided it tasted more like toffee…totally not complaining. It has a bold, rich flavor, but unlike the typical cooking process of caramel…

  • RECIPE: PB&J Oats

    It’s been a LONG time since I’ve written a blog post! This summer is flying by and it’s been a hot one, which means less time experimenting in our little kitchen. We ban the use of the oven once the temps get into the 80’s (we don’t have AC) and we’ve had several days of…

  • RECIPE: Golden Latte

    Last year, I discovered this amazing line of turmeric teas by Numi Organic Tea. They’re one of the few tea companies out there who don’t use bleached tea bags or “natural” flavors – They’re always organic, non-GMO, fair trade and they use REAL fruits, flowers and spices. We’ve been buying this brand from Natural Grocers, but I know you…

  • New Products in BeSolFul Etsy Shop!

    Happy Friday, everyone! It’s been a busy couple of weeks and if you follow me on Instagram, you know that I hit a couple of setbacks with my shop. We had ordered all the ingredients, packaging, and labels for my body butter, only to find out that summertime is NOT a friend of homemade body…

  • REVIEW: May Favorites

    Happy June, everyone!! Like all of the previous months, May flew by just as quickly. It was a bit of a rough month – a combination of rare gloomy weather, plenty of toddler meltdowns and some feelings of stress and being overwhelmed. But it’s a new month and I’m excited for what’s in store. The sun is back and summer…

  • Motherhood Truth: “Picky Eaters”

    Since becoming a mother, I have faced more criticism in these last three years than my entire 36 years combined. From our parenting style, to lifestyle choices and what we feed our child.  Social media has a way of distorting reality – more often than not, unrealistic pictures are painted leaving some of us more open and…

  • RECIPE: Iced Tahini Mocha with Maple-Tahini-Cacao Sauce AND a GIVEAWAY

    I warned you that there were going to be more tahini recipes! This one has even been approved by one of my dear friends, Diana, who hasn’t quite hopped over to the tahini lovers side. When tahini is paired with coffee AND chocolate, you’ve got a dangerous combo. If you follow me on Instagram, you already got…

  • RECIPE: Raw Kale Salad with Garlic Chipotle Tahini Dressing

    My love for tahini began several years ago and one of the very first recipes I posted on this blog (over four years ago), was for a Creamy Orange Tahini Dressing. Since then, and I think it’s safe to say, I’ve become addicted to tahini. Not only is it creamy and delicious, but it’s also…

  • REVIEW: April Favorites

    Happy May 1st!! It feels like April flew by faster than any other month – I’ve been busy trying to keep up with my independent, high-energy three-year old all while working on some major projects. With the weather warming up, we also spent most of our days outside hiking, rockhounding, exploring and pretty much just soaking up…
