Frosted Peanut Butter Covered Grapes
Floptimism ― There are few foods that I actively dislike, but of the flavors that rub me the wrong way, a great deal of them involve “fake” flavors – chemicals added to candies and other processed foods to mimic a real, natural fruit or ingredient. Banana... (more)

Thirty Minute Thursdays: Pure & Simple Broccoli & Red Pepper Saute
Floptimism ― I crave vegetables. Yes, I also crave chocolate and macaroni and cheese and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (not all together) like other normal people, but I really do get cravings for large servings of vegetables. Everyone around me thinks I’m... (more)

Chickpea & Asparagus Quinoa Salad
Floptimism ― Last week was quite an experience for me. For L’s senior week – the week between finals and graduation where most people go to the beach and drink themselves silly – we chose to return to campus for a relaxing few days. The first half of the... (more)

Baked Spinach & Eggs: The New Face of Comfort Food
Floptimism ― Comfort food. You think of lots of butter and heavy cream, right? Biscuits and gravy, chicken pot pie, macaroni and cheese – meals you guilt yourself about eating but that make you feel warm and safe when you do. I’m convinced that it doesn’t... (more)

Thirty Minute Thursdays: Easy Mexican Tortizzas
Floptimism ― Today’s Thirty Minute Thursday might be an interesting one. Not only am I camped out on L’s campus for his senior week, but my trusty, battered-and-stained Rachael Ray cookbook is hiding in one of the many boxes taking up residence in my living... (more)

Have it Both Ways: Savory Peanut Butter Dip or Spread
Floptimism ― Lately, I’ve been shying away from actual recipes and increasingly drawn to taking inventory of my kitchen and figuring out what combinations of foods could produce something edible. Before moving out on Saturday, I had been getting a lot of... (more)

Sunrise Daiquiri Smoothie
Floptimism ― Today is the first day of the rest of my life. For such a cliché moment, it doesn’t feel all that dramatic. I even feel pretty silly just typing that phrase. Yesterday’s graduation was a whirlwind of chaos, dehydration, disappointment, sunburn,... (more)

Thirty Minute Thursdays: Creamy (but Healthy!) Salsa Dip
Floptimism ― May calls for the celebration of many things, one of which being salsa (presumably for the connection to last week’s Cinco de Mayo). I know I should be telling you about cute breakfast-in-bed ideas for Mom and showing you pictures of gorgeous... (more)

Healthy & Comforting Broccoli-Mushroom Casserole
Floptimism ― Not only do I try to eat according to the seasons (which I could admittedly be better at), but I also try to eat according to the weather. I’m hard-pressed in the winter to get a hankering for a simple, raw salad, whereas in the summer, I can... (more)

Cinco de Mayo Recipe Round Up
Floptimism ― It’s almost out of hand how many Mexican-inspired recipes have graced the pages of Floptimism. I couldn’t, then, let Cinco de Mayo pass by without paying homage to all of the wonderful dishes that incorporate the flavors and spices of a typical... (more)

Thirty Minute Thursdays: How to Make a Healthy, Homemade Taco Bowl
Floptimism ― I was determined not to write about a Mexican-themed Thirty Minute Thursday recipe today, just to prove that I could. That is, until I realized that it being the Thursday before Cinco de Mayo, it was actually the one Thursday where it would be most... (more)

Turkey Bolognese Burgers
Floptimism ― It’s hard to believe that in just 10 days I’ll have graduated college. I’m going to move back home, start a dietetic internship to become a Registered Dietitian – it’s not nearly as frightening as actually stepping out into the workforce ... (more)

One, Two, Third Time's a Charm Egg Stuffed Peppers
Floptimism ― I was raised to not be a quitter. It was always a rule growing up that if I decided I didn’t want to continue with an activity or an endeavor, I had to at least finish out the year and then choose not to re-enroll the following year. I think it’s... (more)

Vegetarian Mexican Lasagna
Floptimism ― Mexican meets comfort meets health food – are there many better culinary combinations than that? I have yet to be convinced otherwise. And clearly, because I managed to find a Thirty Minute Thursday post that didn’t summon the flavors of Mexican... (more)

Thirty Minute Thursdays: Elvis French Toast "Sammies"
Floptimism ― There was a time in my adult life where I genuinely and wholeheartedly swore off peanut butter. I announced that I would never eat it again, at least not for the next month. It was an aversion that developed all at once due to an unfortunate peanut... (more)
