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…

Tofu Tacos with Spinach, Avocado, and Pepper Jack
For some reason, I have had a weird craving for tacos lately. Tacos of all sorts. Fish tacos, chickpea tacos, veggie tacos, shrimp tacos, mushroom tacos, and of course, tofu tacos. So naturally I invested in a whole pack of some mini corn tortillas, which is hard to eat entirely by yourself unless you’re eating…
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl
‘Tis the season for pumpkin! And I am ohh soo excited. Pumpkin is one of my favorite seasonal foods. I love how you can have it sweet or savory! So far this season, I have only made sweet pumpkin things but I am looking forward to making some savory dishes with a small sugar pumpkin…
Tropical Popsicles
I made these smoothie pops about two weeks ago when it was a beautiful summer-like day in early September. I was trying to hold on to summer for as long as I could. Even though I was back at school and had already started classes, the weather made it feel like summer was still here!…

There were certainly some places in Europe that sold green smoothies, but nothing like the ones that I make at home. After eating so much cheese, bread, pasta, meat, ice…
Peach and Mozzarella Balsamic Salad
Over the summer I was in Athens, Greece. While we were in Athens, we went to this cute beach bar and got some lunch. I ordered a arugula salad topped with grilled peaches and mozzarella cheese and a honey vinaigrette. It was delicious. With the mediterranean sea 10 feet away and a delicious salad…

I am a sushi addict! I love it so much, I would eat it anytime, anywhere. I am alwaaaaays craving it. Anytime someone suggests going out to eat, I immediately suggest alright…sushi? Yup, addicted. However, the downside about being a sushi addict is the amount of money that is spent on going out to eat…
Vegan Avocado Soba Noodles
I absolutely LOVE avocado. Hands down one of my favorite foods that you can eat with pretty much anything (salads, pasta, pizza, sandwhiches, etc). Avocado is also super healthy for you because it contians vitamins A, B, C, E, & K. It contains both fiber AND protein, and phytochemicals (which help prevent disease and illnesses)….
