As much as I try to acquire a taste for yogurt, it hasn’t seemed to happen yet. It’s such a convenient and healthy snack, but something about the taste and the consistency just doesn’t work for me. I love frozen yogurt, of course – anything with unnecessary sugar added to it usually agrees with my […]
This Kale Quinoa Salad Bowl Is Easier (and Tastier) Than You Think
I’ve always loved a good salad. The problem is, my definition of “good” basically means “not homemade.” I know the premise sounds simple – how can you screw up throwing some lettuce and a few ingredients into a bowl? But there always seems to be something missing when you throw a salad together at home. Because […]
The 2-Ingredient Pancakes That Actually Lived Up to the Hype
Carbs are my weakness. As a kid, I always had a sweet tooth and a soft spot for all things carbohydrate-filled. But I swear it became exponentially worse once I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in my teens. I’m not sure whether it’s the fact that I have to pay so much attention to […]

I was getting a little sick of drinking my breakfast, though, so I decided to imitate those trendy juice spots and make my own bowl. I’ve been using the Carnation Instant Breakfast (No Sugar Added) packets and […]
Quick & Tasty Buffalo Chicken Quinoa
I’m a Patriots fan. I’m a Miami Hurricanes fan. But I am not a football fan. Don’t be mistaken – I’m not a bandwagon fan. Being a bandwagon fan would require me to at least watch when my teams are doing well. Hey, I love the whole experience of going to games – the tailgating, the camaraderie, the spirit, […]
