Maple Baked Pear and Walnut Breakfast with Granola

If you’re an avid reader here at KT, you know that guest blogging is something I do very sparsely. But every now and then a cool opportunity arises and it just seems like a good fit.

When Gabby from EyeCandyPopper and I started toying with the idea, it made more and more sense. We’re both big on sustainability and smart food choices, but we bring our passions to the table in different ways.

Since Gabby has a knack for making a lot of delicious low-sugar + dairy-free treats, I thought it would be great to have her bring us a bad ass breakfast — and she did! She even tickled my Canadian side by adding maple 🙂

Hello! It’s so nice to meet you guys! My name is Gabrielle, aka ECP, I’m a certified holistic nutritionist and I blog over at eyecandypopper.com. I was so excited when Dana and I started chatting about guest posting on each other’s blog because I’m a big fan of Killing Thyme. You see, I too am a big promoter of all things sustainable, so we definitely share some common life values and I love that! I believe that eating healthy doesn’t have to be complicated, and it certainly doesn’t have to taste bland and boring!

Blueberry Lemon Vodka Fizz

THIS RECIPE IS PART OF THE #FBCCONNECTINGOVERCOCKTAILS COLLABORATION. SCROLL PAST THE RECIPE TO SEE WHAT MY FRIENDS HAVE POURED!

If any friend of mine is looking at these photos, they’re probably pinching their eyes or squeezing their temples in a fit of hangover flashbacks. This glorious cocktail has become *the* summer drink in our household and, needless to say, people like to drink a lot of them. Or maybe I’m just super eager to top their glasses off so I can make sure they’re on my level. Whatever the case…

Every season seems to have it’s bev. Fall has us all cozied up with mulled wine and spiked ciders; in winter, we curl up with those dangerous bourbonated hot toddies; spring inspires us to revitalize and make use of floral notes (remember my Spiked Hibiscus Iced Tea?); and summer has us quenching our thirst with refreshing mixes, like this effervescent Blueberry Lemon Vodka Fizz.

Fresh Vegetarian Summer Rolls + Spicy Peanut Sauce

As much as I adore fall and its display of dark skies, the smell of smokey cedar, and the sound of crisp leaves crackling beneath our feet, I’m always eager to welcome spring with just as much enthusiasm. The sudden sight of lush landscapes and azure skies always fills me with a feeling of restoration… kind of like the default computer wallpaper of Microsoft’s Windows XP; nothing says “new beginnings” quite like that.

The weather here in North Carolina has been teetering sporadically between warm perfection and nippy disappointment, but the former is starting to outweigh the latter and I am oh-so-ready to get my terra cotta pots out, dig into some soil, plant some seeds, and admire the produce that sprouts. And then make delicious food with it.

One of my favorite things to indulge in when the days are blazin’ hot are these cool and crisp summer rolls with a savory, nutty, and slightly spicy dipping sauce which, simply put, is lip-smackin’ perfection.

Spiked Hibiscus Iced Tea

THIS RECIPE IS SPONSORED BY ARBOR TEAS | OPINIONS ARE MY OWN

I don’t know what the weather has been like for you over these past few months, but here in North Carolina, it’s been a meteorological rollercoaster. If we could be done with that, that would be great. I’m longing for that brief but beautiful period between the frigid winter and soggy summer when we’re spoiled with a breezy 70-80 degrees. And I want to hold onto those days ever-so-tightly, because once the summer swaddles us with its hot and sticky hands, I’ll want to be done with that too.

Can’t win, won’t win.

That’s why it’s crucial to have a go-to summer thirst-quencher ready, chilled, and available in your fridge; one that also acts as a cure-all for those irritating days at work. (Despite working from home, I have those too.)

Though I’m known for my boozy sangrias, there’s a new punch in town; let’s just say that “tea time” has reached a brand new high 😉

This ruby-hued Spiked Hibiscus Iced Tea is part of the spring collaboration for #ConnectingOverCocktails. This is our third installment, and the collection of libations gets more and more exciting every time! For this installment, we decided to work around a floral theme to welcome spring. Because I’ve recently transitioned from being an I-need-a-coffee-IV-attached-to-my-arm type of person to a tea-all-day-every-day type, I wanted to boast my newfound appreciation. And there was no better way to do that than with my favorite tea folks over at Arbor Teas! *chest bump* I knew that their organic, sustainable, and fair trade petals would be pure perfection for this mélange, and after preparing a pitcher of this good stuff, I was beyond satisfied.

This brew is refreshing AF and gives off floral notes mixed with lemony bits and earthiness. The addition of fresh mint adds a soothing cooling effect.

(Oh, and did I mention the blueberry vodka?)
