Your experiences matter.
Some things are a matter of habit - pancakes, waffles, egg whites, peanut butter. I'm just grateful that I know I'm not alone in having foods and ingredients that I incorporate often into my routine. Whether we believe it or not, we all get into our own routines. But sometimes, things need to get spiced up… Continue reading Recipe: Carrot Cake Protein Waffles for One
Fall means a number of things: It's now socially acceptable to have a PSL glued to your hand at all time. Leggings and over-sized sweaters are also acceptable.

I won't lie, whenever I see smoothie bowls online I am always envious because they also look delicious and perfectly put together. I don't know about you, but fruit doesn't keep me very full so it's something I typically pair with something else.

However, it wasn't until a former student of mine and I met for sushi a few years ago that I started to really get adventurous with my seafood. There are still things I don't like such as lobster -… Continue reading Recipe: Tuna Burgers
What happens when I find things in the pantry I forget I had? I start skimming through Pinterest so I can make it a fun consumable and get it out of the pantry.
