About a month ago, it was my birthday. I asked my dad for a vegetable noodle maker because I kept seeing recipes around for vegetable noodles and they all looked so delicious. Well, when my birthday came around, that is exactly what he got me. I was so excited to use it. The summer…

Detox Smoothie
This was the first thing I made after getting home from backpacking throughout Europe for 3 months. A green smoothie. How I missed green smoothies. 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…

Coconut Berry Chia Arugula Salad
After hibernating inside my apartment for a few days, due to all the snow we’ve been getting in Boston this winter, I decided I needed to have a summery lunch. I was craving tropical flavors and juicy fruits. I was not feeling the usual soup or warm comfort food, that was all plain and unappetizing…
Homemade Nigiri Sushi
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…
