The Best Protein Pancakes
These are the BEST protein pancakes! They’re made with eggs, bananas, and rolled oats, and will keep you going until lunchtime. I am a MAJOR breakfast advocate.

100% Whole Wheat Baguette
I’ve been really into whole grain bread making these days. Whole Wheat Challah, Pizza Dough, now Baguettes! Yes, bread making is exactly what you think. It is labor-intensive. You have to be patient because it takes so damn long. And yeah, your arms will definitely hurt from kneading the dough FOR-EV-ER (think of it as a workout). But,…
A Foodie’s Dream Vacation in Napa Valley
I just got back from a trip to beautiful wine country. Let me tell you, Napa is foodie heaven. I didn’t have a single meal that I didn’t freak out about. And by freak out, I mean sit there and find it absolutely impossible to talk about anything other than how scrumptious every bite was. …
