I can’t believe the summer is basically over. It went by way too fast as it usually does. But I’m not too depressed, cause the end of the summer also brings my birthday. I am excited to have some free time to spend it with my Mom going to a cute little coastal town for…

Summer Blueberry Pizza with Beet Pesto
This summer blueberry pizza combines everything that is good at the farmer’s market right now. It incorporates beets in a way that most have never tried and let me tell you, beet pesto is everything. I was getting so sick of roasted beets and eating them just as they are, roasted. I took a break…
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….
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…
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.
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…
Mint Matcha Smoothie
In our garden at the front of our house, we have a large patch of fresh mint. A few weeks ago, the leaves were still too young and not ready for harvest. Today, I had just gotten home from a pilates class when I had noticed how sizable the vibrant green mint leaves had become. The leaves…
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…
