Cherry season has begun!! And I love these types of cherries. They are both tart and sweet and provide exceptional flavor to desserts, baked goods, salads, and smoothies. Cherries are also really healthy for you..surprise, surprise! They have lots of nutritional benefits and are one of the few foods that contain melatonin. Melatonin is the…

Beet Ginger Berry Smoothie
I’ve been reading everywhere about the nutritional benefits of beets. They are so good for you! Consuming them will help to cleanse your liver, lower blood pressure, fight inflammation and cancer, detoxify, and of course provide you with a rich amount of fiber and vitamins. But of course, I am so sick of just eating…
Berry Acai Bowl
I took a trip to the Los Angeles area recently to visit with my boyfriend and his family. When I was there, I couldn’t help but to notice that Acai Bowls were all the rage around there. We went to Huntington Beach one day where a ton of places were advertising them.
Roasted Peach and Honey Ricotta Crepes
These past few weeks have been SUPER busy. I went to New York City with a few friends for a weekend to visit one of my friends sisters and stay at her apartment. The weekend was super fun and full of foodie adventures. I tried a blueberry bagel with birthday cake flavored cream cheese from…
Berry Watermelon Juice
Today, I am going to enjoy drinking this deliciously refreshing watermelon juice by my pool. It is a beautiful day and I unfortunately haven’t been able to take much advantage of my pool all summer long. Because of my job, I have been working 9-5 and missed many of the beautiful summer days. Sigh….and so real…
Mint Matcha Smoothie

Prosciutto & Asparagus Frittata
Mmmm, mmmm frittata. I recently found “The Chopped Cookbook” by the Food Network in my local library. I am addicted to watching the show “Chopped,” so naturally, I had to check out this cookbook. For those of you who don’t know, “Chopped” is a show on the Food Network, in which there are four contestants…
Mango “Sticky” Quinoa
One of my favorite all time desserts is Mango Sticky Rice, a very popular Thai dessert. The dessert typically consists of sticky rice cooked in coconut milk and topped with a coconut milk sauce with mango served on the side. It is really delicious. So I decided to create an adaptation of the typical…
Portobello Mushroom Eggs Florentine
Eggs Benedict has always been my favorite breakfast. When I was younger, I would always go out for breakfast on my birthday and get eggs benedict. But, as I started getting older I became more health conscious and realized some of the unhealthy aspects of an eggs benedict from the local diner.
Pineapple Coconut Energy Bites
There seems to be some hope that this bitter cold winter will end sometime soon. The temperature has gotten a little bit warmer. Yesterday was a high of 37 degrees and the sun was shining bright, which felt like spring to everyone. But even so, if you look around Boston you can still see the…
