Summertime. Aka, the very best time. (If you’re asking this totally biased, Seattle based sun-baby). But come on. How can you not want to shout- halle-freakin-lujah for the season of freedom, joy, sunshine, fresh air, cool water, and a few extra juicy hours each day to play, relax and just BE around those you love […]

Every season, you guys know I get obsessed with one salad. ??‍♀️  Always a fan-girl of keeping things SIMPLE & super efficient, it then becomes my go-to for literally everything that season: busy work week lunches (if made ahead), quick dinners that don’t require tons of thought or planning, easy picnic nights, or bringing something […]

Ok. Are you guys ready for this full SITUATION? So, to catch you up, things just got weird yesterday on instagram. Someone asked me a innocent question (Q: do you have matcha every single day?) and before I knew it, I was pulling everything out of my bevvie closet, like nobody’s business. Showing you alllllllthethings. […]

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 […]

You know those days when you just want a big fat salad made for you? “Those days”. More like most days. A huge, overflowing GOOD one. That’s so satisfying and filling and you feel like you could just shoot up into the stars with your hand on your hip, all sassy and ready to dominate the world.. […]

This past Sunday, I was asked to “do the food” for a photoshoot and dinner style event with some pretty amazing + crazy talented ladies [see their drool worthy work + instagram feeds at the bottom of this post, you won’t be sorry]. But, more about that project later. Because if you’re here, I know […]

So, it’s Summer. Ahh. YES. The season of barbecues, boating, traveling, camping, sunsets, grilling, concerts and hanging with friends and family until the sun slowly sets late at night. And food. The best, freshest food of all. And the season of freedom and ease. So, if you are anything like me, the last thing you want to […]

Truth: every homemade ice cream recipe I’ve ever seen gets me so excited. Don’t be shocked. Ice cream is a simple food. It has 5 ingredients max, when made well. And is one of the best parts about summer. I’m into it. Until I read the recipe. And pout. “Combine all ingredients in your ice […]

Impromptu Sunday night dinners = impromptu Sunday night cocktails. And why be too classic and rigid about it? Summer just isn’t the time to be anything close to that. But that doesn’t mean you have be licking a sugar stick {and then nursing a next-day hangover because of it} just to enjoy a refreshing summertime […]

Some of you may have seen my post earlier this week about my jicama purchase. I l-o-v-e it. The cold, crunchy, sweetness is so good to me this time of year.What is it? It’s a veggie like celery but without the bitter bite at the end. Like watermelon but without the intense sweetness. It’s most […]

Dressing. Let’s get real, ok? Dressing a funny thing. We buy it. To save time. And to make eating salads taste better. I get it, I really do. But, hello chemicals and crap. And creepy sounding oil. With looooong expiration dates. In other news, did you know it takes maybe 30 seconds to make your own […]
