Paleo Chocolate Fudge + Vanilla Bean Mug Cakes
Have I mentioned how much I love Pinterest? I think my life has become more creative as a result of spending at least 20 minutes a day on the site. I have my eye on fork magnets, flower eggs, and perhaps a bit too many wedding ideas for a girl who’s not even engaged… yet. But…
Healthful Hints: Staying Healthy with Quality Exercise + Nutrition
Oh my gosh, I’ve missed you guys. I got home from London late Thursday night and the first thing I did was make myself a warm meal of steamed carrots, zucchini, and shrimp in a tangy dill sauce. I slept for what seemed like days, then spent Friday afternoon in my kitchen. It was glorious,…
Baked Tuna Dill Cakes
Salads have become my main go-to lunch choice over the past month or so. They’re quick to put together and work with any ingredient you have around. You can pack them full of veggies, protein, fats, whatever you want! The trick is… to make each salad interesting by adding a touch of creativity. The more…

Thanks for participating everyone :) ~ I bought my very first bag of kelp noodles from Upaya Naturals in August. Sadly, I can’t claim that there was much thought put into the purchase.

Baked Maple Peach Acorn Squash Dessert
One of the lessons I’ve learned from tracking my daily eats in my food journal, is that my body responds really well to squashes. Every time I eat them I feel energized, satiated, and if done up right, they satisfy my sweet tooth, too! I’ve been trying to introduce myself to a new type of…
Food Journaling Challenge
We’re conditioned at a very young age to believe that if we follow the food pyramid/plate, we’re going to be a-ok nutritionally; but I got news for you, what’s good for you is not necessarily going to be good for me. You may do better on a vegan diet than I ever will, my body…
Gluten-free + Vegan Gingersnap Cookies
I loved the idea of gifting my homemade cake stands to friends and families for the holidays. (Thanks everyone!) Thing is – you can’t really give a cake stand to someone without having treats on it, especially if they know that you love to bake. So I tried to figure out what seasonal recipe I…
