Ahhhh fall is finally here! Today is the autumnal equinox and I could not be more excited. I love everything there is to love about fall. I adore the cute decorative squash that people put on their outdoor steps, the trips to the orchards to pick fresh crisp apples, the site of the gorgeous reds…

Teriyaki Portobello Mushroom Burgers
This past week has been super busy with starting grad school, starting my part-time internship, and still moving stuff into my new apartment. I feel like I’ve been non-stop running for seven days straight. But, I feel like I finally got myself organized this weekend and still had a chance to make these scrumptious portobello…
Spicy Spanish Gazpacho
Last summer, I lived off of gazpacho. I spent a semester in Spain and lived with a Spanish host mother. She would make me my lunch and dinner everyday for the entire semester. One thing she would always make me was gazpacho! I flippin’ loved her gazpacho. It was flat out heavenly! Once I tried…
Beet Noodle Salad with Blueberries and Goat Cheese
Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays, after Halloween and Thanksgiving, of course! I love how everyone comes together outside, enjoying beautiful weather (hopefully), delicious food and refreshing drinks. I also love watching fireworks. No matter how old I get, the fireworks are still just as endearing to watch as they were when I…
Sweet Potato Noodles with Cheesy Chive Sauce
Just like the mint, we have an abundance of fresh chives in our garden…TONS of it! So, I decided to incorporate chives into a dish for a late lunch that I had today.
Moroccan-Spiced Cauliflower Steaks
I haven’t posted in over two weeks because I’ve been so busy with graduation activities. I graduated from Boston University in December with a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Sciences (concentrating in Public Health) but, my school did not offer a graduation ceremony then. So, I participated in the all-university commencement and individual school graduation ceremony…
Raw Raspberry Crumb Bars
Does anyone know how to make a carton of berries last more than a day? Is that even a thing? Because I don’t know in the slightest. Whether I get a tiny carton of berries from the grocery store or a mega-sized box of berries from Costco, I cannot seem to make it last more than one…
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…
Strawberry Balsamic Lettuce Wraps
I am so excited about the warm spring weather that recently came over Boston. Yesterday, everyone was sitting outside on the grass, riding bikes, walking their dogs, and indulging in picnics. Everyone just seems happier. I know the warm weather gets me up and moving and gives me more energy to do things, hence also makes…
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…
