The taste, or heck, even the thought of a margarita on the rocks automatically makes me happier and a lot more care-free.  Something about the sweet-sour-salty combo and the fact that it’s a summertime drink makes the margarita the perfect cocktail, in my opinion. However, the aftermath of a couple of shots of tequila and too much sweet and sour mix never leave me feeling as good as those first few sips. Let’s solve that […]

I get so much satisfaction from grinding my own grains rather than buying flour. It’s part of my philosophy of eating as many unprocessed, whole-foods as possible. I like simple food, so I won’t sacrifice quality or freshness, hence, whole foods FTW.

The breakfast tart! A heart, crunchy, slightly sweet granola shell. Creamy, probiotic-packed, dairy-free yoga. Fresh, seasonal fruit. And your favorite toppings, if you want to take this meal to the next level! The only sugar comes from the natural […]

I’m a carb-lover – there’s no denying it! And when I’m not eating sourdough bread or tacos with my meal, it probably includes a sweet potato 😉 I’ve been making this veggie-stuffed potatoes on REPEAT! This recipe is so, so simple! Yet the flavors, textures, colors, and overall satisfaction is 10/10! These stuffed sweet taters also pack in a few servings of veggies and are easy breezy to serve to a crowd or as a […]
