So I might just lead with the fact that these doughnuts are insanely pink! I thought I was going for a more mellow shade, but I completely spaced the fact that beet juice powder gets more intense as it sits… so these beauties happened quite by accident. By all means feel free to dial it down a bit, but after a seriously long winter, I’m actually loving the vibrance. These doughnuts also get quite a bit of color from a special ingredient – freeze dried strawberries – these are so fun to work with, and I know there’s going to be more creations in the future....

When we left off in the first part of Day 8 , we were headed towards the famous Vestrahorn mountains to try and catch a sunset, (pictured above). We arrived in the late afternoon flat out exhausted from a lack of food, coffee, and sleep. Never the less, when in Iceland … you just go and go, and go some more because everywhere you turn is something else amazing to see!...

This Instant Pot Beef Barbacoa is a regular favorite around here. I also love that you can meal prep and freeze the shredded beef ahead of time. I think I could live on any kind of Mexican-inspired taco bowl every single day of the week (really, this isn’t an exaggeration). In fact, I’ve been known to make big batches of all the different taco components to do just that. It’s kind of like meal prepping, but with the intent to eat the same thing over and over again!...

Is there anything better than the summer grilling season? Since our summer is so short, we grill year round, but obviously it’s always better when you don’t have to put on a down coat first before stepping outside! Add to that the gorgeous fresh produce just bursting out of every stand at the Farmer’s Market, and what usually happens is I rarely turn my stove on from May right through September....

This is my new favorite breakfast on the go! It’s packed with protein (15g per serving), really quick to make, and can be made year round with either fresh or frozen berries. It doesn’t hurt that there’s peanut butter in there either, which makes everything so tasty. To be technically accurate, it’s actually peanut butter powder which is really high in protein. This is a fairly new ingredient to me, and so far I’m loving it....

I don’t think there is a day where I’m not craving Pad Thai, and I know I’m not alone on this. One of my friends is so addicted to Pad Thai that after she went away to college, she would stock up on the local Pad Thai every time she came home. She would order several of them to go and pack them with her back to college the next day....

St. Mary and Virginia Falls is one of the best short hikes I’ve been on in Glacier National Park . It’s pretty much just one long waterfall for miles! As you hike along through the forest, little openings appear with so many sets of falls that I lost count. The main attraction is obviously the 2 big falls that the trail is named after, but the falls in between were really nice too....

Summer Rolls are wildly popular for a reason, they’re amazingly fresh yet ultimately satisfying at the same time. They’re low in calories, but taste like something you need in your life every single day. Even with all of that being said, the last time I actually made Summer Rolls at home was probably around 4 years ago. The whole reason for this is the rolling process, it just seems like too much work most of the time....

I really feel like you can never have too many flavor packed salads in your repertoire! And it’s just a bonus if your salad includes healthy ranch dressing. As a kid I was a ranch dressing fanatic, I mean I would eat pretty much anything if it was drowned in ranch. In fact… my cousin and I were famous in our family, (or infamous) for stealing the the veggie dip trays at birthday parties....

Does anyone else feel like summer is simply flying by? As in if I’m not careful it’ll be fall, and there will still be so many things left on my summer list! Luckily we were able to do all sorts of fantastic summer things during our vacation, and I pretty much crossed off most of my summer bucket list items. (Still haven’t had a campfire though.) Taking a vacation in the summer seems like a no brainer, but for the last several years we’ve been having trouble getting days off....
