The two good things to come out of 2020: The birth of my son and The Quarantine Salad. Maybe in that order. It’s nothing against my son, The Quarantine Salad is just that good. I wish I had a better reason we ended up calling this The Quarantine Salad other than it was created amidst the excitement of…
Hello, all! Obviously, we’re here to talk about these awesome, versitle, tasty Tex-Mex Veggie Bowls. But it wouldn’t be a proper blog post without first diving into a long-winded story that’s only vaguely (if at all) related to the recipe, would it? So there I was, nearly 41 weeks pregnant and confronted with several options as to how…
Hello there! You might not recognize my written voice these days because I just turned 27, so my maturity level has skyrocketed. I no longer laugh at jokes typically reserved for 12-year-old boys, I balance my check book, and I only read textbooks and take medicine to manage my cholesterol in my free time. It’s what’s to be…
Merry (almost) Christmas! It’s the time of year where I’m busy in the best ways possible – making gifts, spending extra time in the kitchen making treats, and staring wistfully out the window while thinking of Christmases past and future (a very time-consuming activity). Since free time isn’t abundant these days, it’s especially nice to not have to…
My memories of early mornings in high school include stumbling around the kitchen for something to grab on my way out the door, half wondering how I managed to dress and get downstairs in the first place, with the no-nonsense voice of Jillian Michaels coming from the dimly-lit living room. My high school days started at 5:45am in…
I don’t think I can fully express how nice it is to not have to worry about preparing lunch everyday. Well, my lunch at least. My little guy is all grown up and off to daycare and I spend my days working, missing him, and thinking of my life in terms of how may ounces of milk I…
It could be due to the majority of my days have been reduced to terms such as diaper changes, deciding between the bouncer and the carrier, and if that crying meant hunger or gas… so maybe it’s because my whole day is consumed by these tiny, super important yet super minor decisions, I have done all I can…
I’m not doing much running these days. And by “not much” I actually mean “not any.” It’s not that I’ve lost interest or suddenly came to the realization that I could be doing better things with my time (which is maybe true, but I would never admit that). It’s because I have a 7-something pound human who likes…
Move over every other salad ever, tahini granola and blood orange salad has arrived. This salad… It’s crunchy, creamy, sweet, tart, savory, filling, and wonderful. It’s everything you want a salad to be, I promise. Plus, the granola is tasty both on and off the salad, which is how granola should be. This recipe makes a little extra…
How good does a citrus salad with honey butter salmon sound? If your answer was, “amazing” or any similar adverb, you’re in luck because it tastes even better. This salad is so packed full of nutrients, it makes me have hope in this world again. Everything in this salad is amazing for runners and normal human beings! Salmon,…
