Merry Wishes! 

~ nourishedpeach ~ 3 Comments

Just a quick note to wish you all the merriest of merry this year! I hope your holidays are filled with more warmth and love than you can handle. I know we are looking so forward to time with family (and hey-I’d be lying if I didn’t mention that a traditional Lebanese feast wasn’t one million percent on my radar as well 😉)

Leaving you with this oldie but goodie just in case you’re in a pinch and need a yummy, super fast and easy sweet treat to share…we made them again this year…what a fun one to do with the kiddos! 

Sending lots of love you way!

Spinach, Broccoli + Farro Salad

~ nourishedpeach ~ 8 Comments

SONY DSCGood day, friends!  I hope your weekend was what a long-Thanksgiving weekend should be…relaxing, fun and yummy-food-filled!  And now, back to the grind.  But let me tell you, this salad is a mighty fine way to start that grind.

If we are Instagram buddies you may have seen my recent obsession with the Kale + Broccoli Salad from Lunds and Byerlys, a local grocer around these parts.  And you guys, the obsession is legit.  LE-GIT.  You know I’m a sucker for super-grain farro to begin with, especially in salad form.   But besides my beloved farro, this salad just has gobs of goodies in it:  kale, broccoli, parmesan, apricots, sun dried tomatoes.  Weird combo, no?  No!  You wont believe what that flavor/texture hodge podge does…it will knock your socks off!  Continue reading →

Pan Roasted Salmon Mediterranean Bowls with Tahini Sauce

~ nourishedpeach ~ 27 Comments

SONY DSCOh for all things yum.  If you’re looking for a warm, yet light, fresh weeknight meal idea look no further, friends.  These bowls right here are the whole shebang.

Let’s start with the tahini sauce.  If you have even the slightest relationship with hummus this stuff will knock your socks off.  I eat it on everything.  I mean everything.  From green salad dressing to veggie dip to burger topping to sweet potato fry dunking.  Tart and garlicky and creamy and oh my golly I just can’t get enough.   Continue reading →

Bacon + Butternut Flatbreads with Balsamic Drizzle

~ nourishedpeach ~ 30 Comments

SONY DSCOh boy.  So I’ve got this pretty amazing girlfriend.  We are raising same-aged children together.  She’s genuine and so caring.  Our husbands totally click.  We both love to work out.  You know, all the good stuff…and it all just works so seamlessly.  But heres the kicker:  She, too, has a case of ADIDAF (All Day I Dream About Food-it’s a thing-I am living proof).  She’s a fabulous cook and she may be the only human I know who loves to eat ALMOST as much as I do ;)  Like, you know, the kind of friend who sends you snap shots of every course at the fantastic new restaurant she is eating at.  The kind of friend that introduces you to rare and ridiculously awesome candy that you have never heard of and you basically faint out of pure delight.  The kind of friend you are delighted to check out new restaurants with because you know she will appreciate all of it as much as you do.  She’s a winner.  In so many ways.

And you know what, when you are a food blogger these types of friends come in super handy.  Not only is she incredibly supportive of Nourished Peach, she makes a stellar sounding board.  For example, our convo last night via text: Continue reading →

Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs

Man do you guys go through those ruts with your kiddos where they just aren’t digging what’s for dinner?  It drives me insane…especially since I’ve taken the time and effort to cook them a meal that, in my opinion, there is no reason not to like.

While both of my kids are typically always willing to try something new, that’s never a guarantee that a meal is going to be a success.  They both have such different quirks when it comes to eating.  Georgia…she’s just a nut.  She’s the girl that could eat most steamed vegetables for every meal of every day.  Put steamed green beans, broccoli or cauliflower tossed in a bit of butter in front of her and it’s always a sure thing….   and sprinkle on a little cheese and she will eat any human under the table.  But what I’ve learned about her is she is a texture girl.  She doesn’t love foods with different textures mixed together like in casseroles or soups.  And too much sauce on anything totally grosses her out.  Explain that one to me, the sauce/condiment-obsessed gal.

And then theres Jude.  I mean who really knows with him.  Everyday I get something different…and I think thats pretty typical of his age.  One day he absolutely loves a dish, the next he can’t get past the first bite and refuses to eat any more.  Picking my battles over here.

But this chicken has absolutely never failed me with either child.  It’s nothing fancy…actually…it’s just the opposite.  But it’s easy…and my kids absolutely love it…and, actually, Nick and I do, too…so you better believe it’s going to stay in the rotation until they change their minds.

You guys, this weather we are having around here!  It’s COLD!  Gorgeous, but man does that change in temp feel like a chill or what?  It’s pretty much the best kind of weather.  You know, the kind of weather where it’s not too cold to sleep with your windows open…but them when you wake up in the morning you can’t possibly seem to peel yourself out of those perfectly warm, cozy covers because your room has an insane chill going through it.

We have been comfort-fooding around here like crazy people lately.  It must be the weather.  And these Quick-Chili Loaded Baked Potatoes made the roster.  I feel like I say this a lot, mostly because I only tend to share the recipes that get my family’s stamp of approval, but these are definitely a favorite among the kiddos.

SONY DSCHow about this weather, friends?  It’s so random this time of year.  Mornings feel like fall at its finest:  cool, crisp air perfect for that cozy sweater.  Head into afternoon and the sun is blazing and the temps are rising forcing you to tear that sweater off as quickly as you can.  Part summer, part fall, no?

And this gratin is right there with the weather these days.  Part summer with those farm fresh poblanos, potatoes and corn.  Part fall with that comfort an warmth.
