Can I just relax all day with a beauty enhancing cucumber face mask, in my pajamas, eating this shawarma, watching some aesthetically beautiful subtitled foreign movie that makes me want to jump on a plane and skip town for a few days? I want old buildings and little cafes, beautiful languages that I don’t understand,… Continue reading Chickpea Shawarma Pita Sandwiches

Creamy Lemon Thyme Mushrooms on Sourdough Toast
I love my life, but sometimes I’m tempted to sell everything that I own and move to the Amalfi Coast: Work in a little café 30 hours a week. Live in a little studio above a little gelato shop and shop at charming little farmers markets after my charming café day job. I would take… Continue reading Creamy Lemon Thyme Mushrooms on Sourdough Toast
Vegetarian Pozole
Often times the last thing that I want to eat when it's hot outside is a soup! However, this soup satiates my cold cravings as it's loaded with chilled, crispy, fresh vegetables, herbs, and lots of fragrant zesty lime. It's so refreshing and filling. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do… Continue reading Vegetarian Pozole

I blame it on the nut butter obsession that I’ve acquired, but… Continue reading Vegan Thai Salad with Lime-Ginger Dressing
Mango Avocado Black Bean Salad
Some days I can rock my yoga practice with awesome balance and stellar strength and other days I feel weak, shaky, and struggle even trying to hold my balance in Tadasana! I learn about my body through its fluctuating responses to my practice; Maybe I need more sleep. Maybe my mind is too busy. … Continue reading Mango Avocado Black Bean Salad
Gluten-Free Fettuccini w/Caramelized Onions, Kale and Goat Cheese
One of my favorite quotes of all time: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one most adaptable to change.” – Charles Darwin. Life doesn’t usually go as planned. The preconceptions we form about what life is going to be like post-high school… Continue reading Gluten-Free Fettuccini w/Caramelized Onions, Kale and Goat Cheese
Quinoa Salmon Bowl w/Citrus Coriander Greek Yogurt Dressing
I have become so obsessed with yoga that it's only a matter of time until I turn into one of those naturalistic extremists who bathe with homemade soap and talk about "energies" all the time. I mock this figurative person and I shouldn't because in all seriousness the yogi way of life is incredibly admirable. Its… Continue reading Quinoa Salmon Bowl w/Citrus Coriander Greek Yogurt Dressing
