Today, I am going to enjoy drinking this deliciously refreshing watermelon juice by my pool. It is a beautiful day and I unfortunately haven’t been able to take much advantage of my pool all summer long. Because of my job, I have been working 9-5 and missed many of the beautiful summer days. Sigh….and so real…

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…
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…

There is one booth that sells decadent baked goods such as chocolate croissants and lemon tarts. Another booth sells delicious and fresh homemade pasta including bourbon lobster stuffed ravioli and…
Pineapple Coconut Energy Bites
There seems to be some hope that this bitter cold winter will end sometime soon. The temperature has gotten a little bit warmer. Yesterday was a high of 37 degrees and the sun was shining bright, which felt like spring to everyone. But even so, if you look around Boston you can still see the…
Veggie Quinoa Maki
Nothing gets my mouth watering like a piece of sushi. I love all kinds of sushi, fish or vegetarian. There is something that gets me with the salty, chewy seaweed wrapped around the sweet and sour rice or quinoa that engulfs a variety of crunchy and creamy vegetables on the inside. Yummmmmmmm!
Miso Ramen Noodle Soup
It’s been a little while since my last post because it has been pretty busy lately. Since I last posted, I officially completed my applications to graduate school. Yay. I am now crossing my fingers and hoping I get in…please, oh please!
Raw Carrot “Pasta” with Spinach and Coconut Curry Sauce
Boy, did I need a clean healthy meal after all the junk food I ate during the holidays. Today was the first day that I did not allow myself to eat the leftover peppermint bark from Christmas, the pecan brittle sent from my family down South, or any of the delicious homemade cookies from our…
