I have a knack for getting recipes right the first time. That isn’t me showing off (okay, it is ninety percent me showing off), it is more the reason I can’t draw very well. Confused yet? Wonderful! Let me explain.. When I was an innocent naive freshman in University (all … Continue reading
Have I ever told you how much I love mangoes? My body is still detoxing, I’m in the midst of a transition to a more permanent location for my life, I’m working full time, volunteering a few hours each week — basically I’m insane. So what I do I do when I live in … Continue reading
Do you ever have those moments where you decide you’re going to make chickpea fries because you made them a week ago and they were the most delicious thing you’d ever eaten in your entire life and instead you accidentally make a deep-fried doughnut that makes you so happy inside you didn’t know … Continue reading
Everything I am wearing is green except my socks. I don’t own green socks. I understand your disappointment in me, I’ll try to make it up to you with a really cool recipe or something. I don’t know.

The flaky crust, the rich sweet filling, the creamy raisins. So I have of course been obsessed with creating my own paleo version for months. The tart crusts … Continue reading

A word of advice for other short people doing yard work, the only way to fully open those large bags is to place them entirely over your body.

I am a morning person. I am not a coffee person. While the two may seem like contradictions they really aren’t. Sunrises make me feel alive and energized. Getting up after 7 am makes the rest of the day feel like some mad rush to the middle of nowhere. In case my food blog and … Continue reading
In most ways I do not consider myself the typical female. I can’t really stand malls, clothes shopping gives me a headache, I only wear make-up on days I care enough to put in an effort, and the lightest dumbbell I ever lift is 10lb. Not to say my sex is weak or frivolous, I happen to … Continue reading
