Inspiration for cooking usually strikes me thanks to a combination of things you eat or crave, and seasonal availability at the market. This one was a combination of both, and sharing it with you guys for a little sweet-tooth fix. As I was...

My wanderlust is kicking up fiercely right now, so I thought it'd be a good time to finally (I'm only three months late, I know) share the highlights of my trip to Portland. I also learned, when in Portland, you donut stop drinking coffee. Yes, donut. Because they, along with coffee, are everywhere and for good reason...

The weather is getting warmer and it's feeling like spring in NYC! This time of year always puts me in the mood for spring cleaning (I guess that's why people call it that), so I have been foraging through my closets and shelves to clean out everything I don't need...

Happy Friday my dears! You are loved, indeed. 

Anyone else in disbelief it's somehow March already?? Looking ahead to the next few months, it's full steam ahead-- lots of next steps with work, travel plans, and maid of honor duties galore.

I have a feeling a lot of newness will...

Even though Spring weather is starting to make occasional appearances here in NYC, I'm still mostly craving chilly weather foods-- namely, soup. The thing is, I'm kind of picky about my soups, but the ones I grew up loving (creamy ones, like chowder) aren't always the healthiest. 

My Vitamix has been a source of magic in my kitchen since I got it over the holidays. I was a bit skeptical about...

Our lives are about change. More accurately, they are change. We are ever-changing, ever-evolving human beings. If you resist and fight the change, you're standing still while the rest of the world continues to surge ahead. But while you surge ahead with the world, it's equally as important to take stock of the process and find contentment as well...

It's been bouncing back and forth between cold and warm weather here in NYC! It's starting to feel like an early spring, but I'm still digging the wintery, warm breakfasts. There's something about French toast that is such a homey, comfort food. Pancakes and French toast get such a bad reputation for being the unhealthiest of the breakfast food options. While they are undeniably heavier on carbs than some other options, there are easy ways to make them wholesome and nutritious without sacrificing flavor...

The most important part of gratitude is the PRACTICE of it. I've found that it's an active practice, and most crucially so when you least feel like giving thanks. The more you allow yourself to start being grateful for what may initially seem like insignificant things, the more happiness you allow yourself to feel. Those are the moments you...

Normally every other week, I do my Favorite Friday Finds series, but I wanted to do something slightly more personal this week!

I've been following Julie of Peanut Butter Fingers for a few years now, as I loved her personality that always shone through her posts about everything from...

After having so many of you guys request the recipe and instructions for how I made my handpies I posted on my Instagram awhile back, and also the pie I made for my family's Thanksgiving- I am finally sharing it with you guys! 

This post will cover my Raspberry-Lemon Chia Hand Pies, as well as how to make the fun crust I did for my Apple Cider Caramel Pie from Food52 that I made for Thanksgiving...

The most common thing for me to experience with clients, particularly while dealing with nutrition, is that I'll hear something like, "I was really good for the past two weeks, then life happened."

When venturing out to the Pacific Northwest (PNW) for the first time, I didn't really know what to expect. The only thing I knew to expect was a lot of rain. Spoiler...

I pretty much said all of what has been on my mind in my post last week on body judgment/shaming. The universe is aligning though, because a really kicka** ladyboss fitness coach and writer that I love, Molly Galbraith, co-founder of Girls Gone Strong, shared this post on her Facebook page recently that went absolutely viral. Shared by...

Ever since getting one of the nicest Christmas gifts I've ever gotten, aka my powerhouse of a Vitamix, I have been experimenting more and more with smoothies. With smoothies, there are so many benefits, like being able to fit in a lot of greens and much-needed vitamins in one convenient drink, getting all the fiber from the produce (unlike juices), and...

I'm sorry. But you're welcome. Yet another matcha recipe. This time it's matcha crepes because YES.

I can't help myself. When I have delicious matcha from My Matcha Life sitting in eye-level in my cupboard, it just begs me to use it in any and...

My original body judgment/shaming post is still one of the most popular hits on my blog. I didn't think I needed a follow-up piece to it, because I had shared the majority of how I felt about it in that post. But more things happen, and unfortunate problems like these in our society don't just tend to disappear altogether. So, rather than assuming that things will change, I want to help CHAMPION this change. Problems don't change until we change them...

I'll get to this gluten-free gingerbread granola that will solve your penchant for gingerbread cookies in a second, but first, a little personal story.

Recently, it's been a period of self-reflection in my life. Thinking about my purpose, who I have become, what I can become more of and less of, and what is of priority to me in my life. 

Family is something that has always been of utmost importance to me. This article I read a few weeks ago gave me a rattling perspective of how precious this remaining time with my family in my life I have, so I've been thinking about it a lot lately. While I...

It's already 1 week into the New Year, and things are off to a running start! You guys will have noticed that I haven't yet posted this week, and there are a few reasons for this. Firstly...
