If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m slightly obsessed with cilantro. And I honestly think it’s because of this rice. Well not this exact one, but a similar one my mom makes where the inspiration for this version came from. I used to request her brown rice with ginger, carrot, and cilantro on my birthday along … [Read more…]
How insanely fresh do these look? Right!? The first time I had fresh homeade spring rolls I was visiting my oldest sister in Denver, Colorado. She suggested we make spring rolls for dinner like it aint no thang and whipped these up. Needless to say, my mind was blown at how freaking delicious they were. And … [Read more…]
Summer = corn, am I right??! But does anyone else think corn gets a bad rap? Why is that? I mean, true, there’s a lot of processed crap that can be made from it (think high fructose corn syrup that’s probably in 90% of pantry items). And, since it’s so widely used, it tends to be … [Read more…]

I’ve got just the thing my friends… Grilled vegetables with goat cheese (or avocado if you’re not into dairy), a sprinkle of fresh basil, and a seriously easy balsamic glaze drizzled all over that goodness. I’m finally getting over my grill-phobia, and all you gals … [Read more…]

Taco tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, tostadas… and even taco salads. Yep, I’m counting them. Ya know what I hate though, those giant fried tortilla bowls full of iceberg … [Read more…]
Warning, this is not the salad to eat: On a first date Before a long car ride with another person Before an interview Before going to a bar where loud music forces close-talking Are we clear? Any other time though, this is amazing. Happily married for 2 years? Chomp away my friends, because what’s theirs … [Read more…]
For years I’ve been super skeptical about juice cleanses; in fact, I was super skeptical about any cleanse in general. This being because I tried a three day smoothie cleanse that was apparently created by Dr. Oz, and it was terrible. I’d never felt so bloated in my life! So I swore off cleanses as … [Read more…]
Um…this stuff is amazing. Crispy, soft, sweet, caramely, peanut buttery…. why don’t I make french toast more? Oh, because it’s sorta boring when there’s just toast and syrup. Right… I used to be a total sweet breakfast girl. Loved pancakes and waffles, and anything I could drizzle syrup on. But having since lost a lot … [Read more…]
Grilling season is finally here! Praise be! My favourite thing to grill by far is portobello mushrooms. And I have to say, my husband does them the best. One night I came home late and he had left me a plate of dinner with a grilled portobello on it. I texted him to see where … [Read more…]
