Travis and I were away this past weekend visiting my aunt and uncle in Tucson, Arizona.

Easy Curried Yogurt Dip
This Curried Yogurt Dip tastes delicious with sweet potato chips, and it only requires three ingredients. Healthy and easy! I never crave salty things. My cravings come in the form of chocolate chip cookies, ooey-gooey brownies, and anything chocolate-peanut butter. Travis is the opposite. He craves chips. Lately, he’s been buying a different type of…
Roasted Carrots with Spiced Greek Yogurt
Oh boy, do I have a recipe for you! Ever since I had colorful carrots at a restaurant a little over a year ago, I just can’t go back to regular orange carrots. There is something about all of these colors that makes me smile. They add so much vibrancy to my dinner plate. And…
Healthy Work Snacks
I eat a lot throughout the day. In fact, I have to eat basically every three hours so that I don’t become a major cranky-pants. This is particularly important at work because I find that it is impossible to concentrate with a rumbling tummy. Without fail my body tells me it’s hungry around 11AM and…
My President’s Day Weekend Through Food
How was everyone’s long weekend? Mine was wonderful. It started out with a relaxing Valentine’s Day at home. Travis and I decided to cook Valentine’s Day dinner at home on Friday night and instead go out to dinner on Saturday night. All of the restaurants we would have gone to on Valentine’s Day had prix…

Tandoori Chicken
I have a new delicious chicken recipe for you! The past few weeks in LA have been particularly warm, so Travis and I decided it was a great excuse to use the grill last Saturday night. We made this delicious Tandoori Chicken that I adapted from an old Food and Wine issue. Recently, I’ve been…
This Week’s Grocery Haul
I have been getting a bunch of questions about how I grocery shop: Do I go to one store? Multiple? Do I always go prepared with a list or do I just wing it? So, I decided to answer a lot of those questions in this post by showing you this week’s grocery haul. I typically grocery…
Whole Wheat Blueberry Lemon Muffins
These Whole Wheat Blueberry Lemon Muffins are a delicious, healthy breakfast or snack that you can enjoy while on the go! I always have frozen fruit and vegetables on hand. Frozen fruit is great for baking and in smoothies, and frozen vegetables serve as a quick and easy side dish on a busy night. What…
Healthy Brownie Bites
I have been seeing lots of raw vegan desserts pop up around the internet these days. Some of them intrigue me, but most of the time I sit there and question the fact that combining XYZ ingredients is actually going to taste like a piece of carrot cake, apple pie, or the like. I am…
