    Honey Mango Oatmeal

    Honey mango oatmeal in just 5 minutes

    Having a sit-down breakfast in the morning is becoming more and more of a luxury to me since I’m often rushing out the door on my way to work or school. Oatmeal has become one of my favorite meals to eat when I do have time to enjoy breakfast because it’s very warm and comforting, especially on nice and chilly mornings. I also like it because it’s easy to mix in different foods such as fruit, nuts and chia and flax seeds. My latest favorite combination includes honey and mango, which you wouldn’t think would taste great in a warm meal, but totally works! It’s so good that it would be selfish of me to keep this recipe all to myself, so today I’m sharing it with you.

    Lentil, Vegetable and Sausage Soup

    Soup has become one of my favorite foods to eat this winter because it makes for a very comforting meal and keeps you warm in the cold weather. I’ve made this lentil, vegetable and sausage soup recipe often in the past few months because it’s filling, delicious and very easy to make. The mixture of vegetables make this a very healthy recipe, and the kale and mushrooms add a more interesting texture. I must admit, though, that I decided to incorporate vegetables into this delicious recipe as a way for me to sneak vegetables back into my daily diet. My plan is obviously working because I’m a fan of this soup and have significantly increased my intake of vegetables. This soup is yummy by itself, but I usually like to top it off with grated parmesan cheese and a bit of Sriracha sauce to add an extra kick to it. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

    I can’t believe that 2015 is almost over! It’s very easy to say that this was an amazing year for me when you think of all that I’ve accomplished; I visited some amazing places, quit my job, and I left Los Angeles, my home of almost 27 years, to attend grad school in Portland. This year has been very exciting and full of many changes, and I can’t wait to see what 2016 has in store for me. In the meantime, click on the pictures above to check out some of my favorite picks from the past year that made it into my 2015 blog roundup.  See you all in the new year!
    xoxo,
    Helen
