I’m always trying to up my protein intake…and always in the mood for a sweet treat. I have Pinterest boards full of lightened-up dessert and snack recipes that’ve been collecting proverbial dust for years. I finally put two of them to good use and was pleasantly surprised with the results. First up are these Banana […]
Editor’s note: I was tempted to title this “Quarantine Cookies” or “COVID Cookies” but I stayed strong. Now my bad puns are in regular-sized print instead of up in proverbial lights. If you’ve been following my blog since the beginning, you’ll probably remember how obsessed I was with baking when I first graduated college. Don’t […]
I’m the queen of keeping overly-brown bananas in the fridge with the intention of using them in a recipe. More often than not, they end up in the trash. This time, I was determined not to let them go to waste. So, I found a recipe on Chelsea’s Messy Apron for Chocolate Banana Muffins. They’re […]
If you’ve been following me since the beginning of the blog, you know I used to bake almost every day. Not an exaggeration. The obsession was at its peak when I was living at my parents’ house: I had the full run of the kitchen since they were gone living the snowbird life, and I […]
As I touched on in one of my most recent posts, my apartment in CT had a roach problem. I didn’t go into detail about how bad it really was, and a food post probably isn’t the place to…but basically, I didn’t use my kitchen for the last five-or-so months of living there. Needless to […]
I loooove Mediterranean food. I know that hummus is the most #basic item in the genre, but I would just like to say that I have been obsessed with it for as long as I can remember. My mom used to send me to school with hummus in little Tupperware containers, and kids would make […]
I’ve loved shrimp since I was a little kid. I actually had the most ridiculously expensive taste. My favorite meal? An appetizer of shrimp cocktail and steamed clams followed by an entrée of either lazy man’s lobster or prime rib, medium rare. You would think I had been raised in a palace with a full […]
I’ve been trying to stay on track in terms of diet and exercise, but my sweet tooth never lets up. You know those people that say if you give up sweets for 21 days you never crave them again? I beg to differ. Luckily, when you put a vegetable inside a cookie, it becomes healthy. […]
I posted these Buffalo Turkey Zucchini Boats to my Instagram story the other day. I was bummed because I was too eager to eat that I didn’t take any appetizing photos. But apparently they looked good to you guys anyway…because a bunch of you messaged me for the recipe! You could cover pretty much anything […]
Hey, friends! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed by now that I’ve been really into meal prepping this month. If you don’t follow me, I’m sorry for your loss. Kidding… Anyway, the past four Sundays, I’ve spent the day cooking meals for the week ahead. This has helped accomplish a few goals: […]
