When it comes to birthdays and holidays, I always (always) try to gift something that’s homemade, whether it is made by me or someone else. I also make it a goal to choose an item that truly speaks to the person’s interests, likes, and hobbies. I mean, let’s be real… who needs more junky useless …
When it comes to superfoods, quinoa is the real deal. It’s basically the only plant food that doubles as a complete protein, thanks to all the essential amino acids that it offers. Quinoa is also jam-packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and it’s super versatile to boot. (Is my nutrition nerdiness showing yet?) And while it’s often …
During the holiday season, my obsession with delicious beverages multiplies by a thousand or so. I mean, there’s just something so refreshing about enjoying seasonal ingredients in a glass. It also probably stems from my addiction to coffee and tea, but that’s another story. And while nothing beats a simple hot chocolate or green tea, …
In honor of (what feels like) autumn coming to an end, this week’s recipe revolves around pumpkin. Surprise, right? For me, Thanksgiving seems like the unofficial end of fall, making way for notes of peppermint and gingerbread. And while I love both, there’s something so comforting about pumpkin recipes. So when this easy truffle idea …
I’m mildly extremely obsessed with chickpeas. Between the high protein content and versatility, how can you not love them? Lately, I’ve been making a lot of patty recipes like these chickpea turmeric burgers for Bustle. For an even quicker dish, I’ll toss with them oil and spices and roast them for a crunchy, savory snack. And of …
Autumn might be all about pumpkin-flavored everything, but we can’t forget about all the other fall drink flavors. And after a few weeks of sharing pumpkin crafts and recipes, I decided it was time to share something a little different. This boozy beverage brings together fizzy ginger beer by Bundaberg, local apple cider, and whiskey. …
During the fall, Wild Amor tends to turn into a food blog, and I’m all about it. There’s something so comforting about the spicy-sweet notes of autumn. Chai is a personal favorite of mine, so I knew I had to make a chai smoothie concoction. (Actually, this past weekend I had chai apple cider at …
Another pumpkin project? You bet. Autumn officially began a few days ago, and I’m already diving head first into the seasonal recipes and tutorials. Plus, I’ve been obsessing over new veggie burger recipes lately. Just last week I made cauliflower, chickpea, and red pepper burgers on a whim, because those were the exact ingredients left in …
September is here, which means Halloween is next month, which means I’m already knee deep in autumn DIY projects. And in the effort to share more recipes, this week’s post features not one, but two scarily tasty Halloween shots. (I’m already party planning in my brain, apparently.) Both “recipes” are super simple and really, really, delicious. I mean, …
Summer is basically done, you guys. And as someone who despises humidity, I am pretty freakin’ stoked. Granted, I might not be saying the same thing in the dead of winter, but that’s another story. Until then, I’ll settle with the cool breezes and autumn projects. However, I couldn’t let that happen without one last summery “hurrah”… …
My home is filled with jars and jars of dried flowers, herbs, and spices… and I wouldn’t have it any other way. These materials bring food and crafting to an entirely new level. Floral face scrubs? Yes, please. Homemade teas? I’ll take three. And then there’s things like cinnamon soy wax melts, air fresheners, and lavender …
