Game day is coming up this Sunday and I’m pretty pumped to see the Pats in the Superbowl again! I am not the biggest sports person in the world, by any means, but I do enjoy the social gathering and celebration that encompasses these sporting events. I won’t ever pass up an opportunity to eat…

Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding with Roasted Cherries
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…
Chinese Orange Cauliflower
It is safe to say that I have had copious amounts of Chinese food in the past two weeks. My family has a tradition of eating a Chinese buffet for Christmas and I ate A TON of it that day. I also ate Chinese food a couple of times in Boston’s Chinatown between Christmas and the New Year….
Curry Butternut Squash Lentil Soup
I haven’t posted in forever and I’m sorry about that. This past month has been a rollercoaster to say the least. I had some personal issues going on and grad school midterms/group projects that took up a lot of my time. But now, I am back! I promise! And I present to you this Curry…
Spaghetti Squash with Creamy Pumpkin Sauce
It’s pumpkin season!!! And I cannot tell you how excited I am to just start using pumpkin flavors in everything I make. In the past two weeks, I have gotten two sugar pumpkins from our local CSA. I roasted these two pumpkins and made a BUNCH of pumpkin puree. From the CSA, I also got acorn squash, delicata…
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…
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.
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…
Lemon Dill Salmon with Feta Yogurt Sauce
This year is my first year doing a CSA share. For those of you who don’t know, a CSA share means “Community Supported Agriculture” share, in which you pay to receive fresh produce from a local farm each week. We decided to purchase a CSA share from our local farm in the middle of our…
Honey Lime Shrimp Salad with Mint Lime Dressing
Clearly, I am on a mint binge. This past weekend I discovered that not only do we have a large patch of mint in our front yard, we also have a bunch of scattered mint plants growing in our backyard. So much goddamn fresh mint! Why let that go to waste? Obviously I’m not going to…
