If you’ve been around long enough, you know I hate breakfast. Personally. Like, I don’t eat it. Oh my god, the horror- right? Isn’t that the anti of what you’re supposed to do to be healthy? Well, so “they” say. But, guess what? I don’t really care what they say. Because if I’m being totally […]

It’s gonna be a bold statement, but I’m gonna make it anyways: the answer to everything, is this salad. It’s not even an exaggeration. Have a busy week ahead? Make this salad. Not sure what to make? Make this salad. Have a party to take a dish to? Take this salad. Trying to feed some […]

I had to wait until the weather actually turned, you know? And that it was official on that calendar. To finally admit that Fall is here. To finally make that shift into the cozy, earlier eves, to cooking again, and actually enjoying the process (without the “stress” of doing some outdoors, at all hours of […]

So, I posted this guy on instagram last week before we were heading out to a little BBQ, and immediately got 10 messages to please post the recipe. Oh, you guys. You mean, you’d like to have the ultimate summer picnic/BBQ perfect/easy healthy recipe/and my new favorite make-ahead dish, too? I should have known. Wait. […]

So, amongst all things I have ever heard about Greece, I never once heard about their food. Which is weird. Because over any other country that I’ve been to (and let’s be real here, all of the ones I’ve been to, I’ve purposely gone because of their “really good food”). Spain. France. Italy. The coast […]

So, it’s Summer. Ahh. YES. The season of BBQ’s, patio nights under the string lights, boating, traveling, camping, sunsets, grilling, concerts and hanging with friends and family until the sun slowly sets late at night. And food, duh. The best, freshest food of all. Because it’s the season of freedom and ease. At least I think […]

I’m gonna tell you how it goes. You tell me if I’m right. Ready? It’s farmer’s market season. YAAAAS!! It’s here! Get overly excited. Make an outing out of it, that turns into a full afternoon. You arrive. Get overwhelmed. Start randomly buying things, because hey. It’s all good for you, and you want to […]

So, yes. I got married last week. And yes, it was completely the most magical and perfect weekend in everyway. How did you know?! For real. More on that later, I promise! But since we have just two weeks until we leave on our honeymoon, life kinda feels back to semi-normal. Except that we’re still on […]

So, it’s been a little crazy over here, but hey, so is normal life right? Totes. I define “crazy”, when even I “modify” (laz-ify) one of my recipes from the cookbook, that’s easy to begin with. A weird way to measure life, but it’s always true. The shortcut to the shortcut. Sign this girl up. […]

Green papaya salads used to be the entire reason I would want to go out to Thai food in the first place. Back in the day before I was gluten-free. It was crunchy and refreshing, and always so fresh feeling, compared to that saucy stuff. Although, to be honest, it’s been a few years since I’ve been […]
