My healthy burger trick: make the patties with a mix of lean ground beef and black beans! Black beans are inexpensive and full of healthy plant-based protein and fiber. Beef gives you savory flavor, protein, and zinc, but you don’t need as much of it when your patties are a mix. I make a mean black bean Vegan Burger and stellar turkey burgers too (especially these Teriyaki Burgers), but combining beef AND beans didn’t occur to me, until I watched Rachel Ray do it on the Food Network years ago....
Lately, I’ve been trying to find new and exciting ways to sneak more protein, fruits, and veggies into my day, and smoothies are one of my favorite go-to morning and afternoon boosts. When planning our month-long Yummiest Ever Smoothie Series (see this Green Smoothie, this Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie, and this Peach Smoothie if you’d like to catch up), I started by brainstorming which fruits are good for smoothies. Berries, like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, along with bananas are some of the best, most delicious, and healthy fruits to add to a smoothie, with blueberries being my favorite....

So if you’re feeling like you need some cozy noms, grab the closest Brazilian cookbook (or, well, maybe come to this blog?...
Happy #IceCreamWeek, everybody! Me and some of my blogger friends decided that we should take a whole week to celebrate frozen deliciouness, so I’m gonna post 3 ice cream recipes this week! Woohoo! ??? But before we get to that, I want to start this post by getting something out of the way: I absolutely suck at scooping perfect ice cream balls. I consequently suck even further at photographing it and it ends up melting everywhere and I end up snacking on all the meltyness and when I realize I have no ice cream left to try and fix the situation....

For those of you who don’t necessarily want to mess with a grill, or an oven, or just want a very quick steak dinner, a simple stove-top butter-basting is a great solution to making a perfect steak. Throw in some herbs and shallots, and you will have a steak exploding with flavors. The best part about a butter-basted steak is that you get a deeply caramelized, dark bark. That’s where most of the flavor comes from in a steak – a richly caramelized bark....

I fully intended to make a wholesome, veggie-packed carrot smoothie.
