No Beans, Please As far as chilis go, I’m not a huge fan of beans, which is pretty hard to find when looking for a chili recipe. Beans usually upset my stomach, so I looked for a beanies chili instead, and I actually got a plethora of results! I actually went with the first recipe…
Energy Bites, The Ultimate Snack
Bad Habits Are there ever times that you’re on the go, or in a hurry and grab for the unhealthier, sometimes easier, options like chips or cookies? The hardest part about eating healthy, in my opinion, is being busy or finding the time. I will catch myself grabbing for something processed, rather than fresh fruit…
French Onion Soup, The Rainy Day Hero
Brighten A Rainy Day With April being such a rainy month, I am always making soup to keep me warm and cozy. To me, there’s nothing better than warm soup on a rainy day, and soup is generally a very easy, quick meal to prepare! Another great reason for soup this time of year is…
Spicing Up Your Life, Poblano Style
Worth the Work One of my all time favorite recipes is one my mom taught me to make. It’s spicy, It’s salty, it’s flavorful, it’s roasted stuffed poblanos with smoky quinoa, sweet potatoes, and black beans. This is definitely a time-consuming, more difficult meal to cook, but it’s great because it leaves you with leftovers…
Who Says Ice Cream is Cheating?
First Day of Spring Being that yesterday was the first day of Spring, I thought I’d transition into a more spring/ summer cooking style, and of course, that comes with the most wonderful desserts.

Men and woman have been going crazy over this hearty soup, but the most common question is why? Some may argue that pho is so enticing…

To the Skeptics of Avocados As many of us have caught on to, avocado toast is the trendiest brunch food of our time, with health benefits that people are skeptical of. People wonder, aren’t avocados high in fat? Won’t eating too many avocados lead to weight gain? The answer is: NO! Of course, everything in…
The Magical AirFryer
Seriously, It’s Magic About two weeks ago, my roommates and I got an AirFryer and let me tell you, it is MAGICAL. When I had first heard of it, I could not, for the life of me, figure out how frying foods could be healthy in any way, shape or form, but the air frier…
The Come Back Breakfast
The Weekend Struggles I’ll be honest, this past weekend as FILLED with binge eating junk food for me. I usually do a pretty good job of sticking to eating gluten-free and not splurging on junk food, but this weekend, especially with the Super Bowl, I couldn’t resist my temptations. Come Monday, my body was craving…
