Summer is (almost) here although we’ve been declaring it for the past month. I welcomed June with an Instagram post of pretty sunflowers spotted while on my morning run. I have resumed a mild form of running; it’s been 6 weeks post-surgery and my pants feel a bit tighter…. Running clears my mind and I…… Continue reading Peanut Butter & Blueberry Oat Squares
Butter chicken totally spells comfort food for me. From the fragrant garam masala smell, to the warming melange of flavors you get with each bite; I love it [and want to inhale it] all. After taking a second to stop and think about it; when “butter” is part of the naming convention, well, it (kind…… Continue reading Hello, Healthy Butter Chicken !
There could very well be 2 cups of kale in your breakfast bowl and you wouldn’t even know it! Who doesn’t enjoy a nice, cold, nutrient-dense smoothie bowl with ALL the fruit & toppings under the sun? I was so thrilled to get some emails from you guys last week asking me about new smoothie bowl…… Continue reading Green Glow Smoothie Bowl
Life without peanut butter (or any nut butter, for that matter) would be incredibly dull + boring, don’t ya think? There once was a girl (not naming names) that was seriously addicted to a certain peanut butter recipe (that was conveniently written) on the back of a certain peanut butter jar. By the way, sorry…… Continue reading Flourless Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies!
I am a child of the 90’s. Totally. I was obsessed with the Spice Girls, the Macarena, Seinfeld, Friends & Strawberry Nutri-Grain bars (in no particular order). Frosted Strawberry Pop-tarts came in at a close second and will therefore get an honorable mention. Just how did big brand America ever convince our parents to give…… Continue reading Strawberry Almond Butter Oat Squares
Oh.My.God. I have a newfound appreciation for what chia & chocolate can accomplish when paired together… Chocolate Chia Pudding is the stuff breakfast dreams are made of. It’s the stuff dessert dreams are made of. This pudding is: rich, creamy, chocolatey and healthy. All four adjectives hold true in the same sentence. Chia is a…… Continue reading Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
Traditional spaghetti was a primary staple in my university diet. At least a once-a-week meal that we would eat, reheat and eat over the course of two days. Not very exciting to say the least; but hearty and affordable. During my 4th and final year of undergrad school, I moved into a brand new residence that…… Continue reading Buckwheat Soba Spaghetti!
Margaritas are always a good idea. Always. I like them a bit dense in texture and slightly frozen. With that hint of lime and the fancy salt rimmed glass. The tequila should not overpower the fruit; but the fruit should also not overpower the tequila. They should each be felt evenly; and guys… this recipe…… Continue reading Refreshing Watermelon Margaritas
I was casually asked at a dinner party just last Friday what my blog is all about. It’s questions like those that make you step back and try to fill in the gaps with inside knowledge but outside perspective. I concluded that it’s the story of a life, told through food. I share recipes and…… Continue reading Buckwheat Tabbouleh
