I didn't exactly grow up in the south, but I know a thing or two about ranch dressing. In the south, people put ranch on everything. Pizza,wings, and if you're really lucky, a vegetable. For some people, eating dips makes the task of eating vegetables that much better. I get that. A plate full of … Continue reading Garlic Dill Greek Yogurt Dip

Seared Tuna Asian Zoodle Bowl
Sesame Seared Tuna along with a medley of sauteed vegetables lay on a bed of fresh zucchini noodles, suspended in a gochujang-soy broth. A zoodle bowl as comforting as it is flavorful. I have a bit of an obsession with Seared Tuna at the moment. Maybe I always have. This was the first fish … Continue reading Seared Tuna Asian Zoodle Bowl
Four Ingredient Mango Sorbet
Ahhh, Summer. Floridian Summers mean that most of the tourists have left the building, leaving behind only locals and those that still want a vacation badly enough to brave the dreaded heat. While most thermometers will claim that most days are between 90-95 degrees, which admittedly is still quite hot, the heat index reveals a … Continue reading Four Ingredient Mango Sorbet
Five (Cheap) Foods You Should Eat While Backpacking in Central America
Hola! May I express my sincerest apologies for my blog hiatus? Some of you may know that I just recently finished graduate school (Hello, MS RD!) and traveled a bit in both Central and South America before settling down into the real world.

10 Mindful Moments to Incorporate Into Your Day
Mindfulness is everywhere nowadays. In schools, in the workplace, and if you're like me, all over your Facebook feed. While mindfulness, defined as increased awareness to the present moment, is certainly nothing new (practiced for thousands of years in ancient Asian/ Indian traditions) it is definitely having a moment here in the Western world. … Continue reading 10 Mindful Moments to Incorporate Into Your Day
Cayenne Pepper Hummus
Hummus is an incredible staple in any plant-based food pyramid (ps. the food pyramid is extremely outdated. don't listen to the food pyramid. just don't.) And while there are a few brands available in the grocery store today, hummus is so insanely easy that there's actually no excuse to not make it yourself. However, I … Continue reading Cayenne Pepper Hummus
Shrimp Stuffed Avocado
This "tapa" (also known as small plate) has the perfect blend of nutrients to keep you satisfied alllll day. Shrimp is honestly packed with protein, especially considering its negligible fat and calorie content. I loooove perfectly cooked shrimp- tender but not too firm (Don't overcook seafood- cooking 101). The best shrimp I've ever … Continue reading Shrimp Stuffed Avocado
Mexican Lentil Chili
This soup was a total accident. And also one of the greatest tasting meals I've made in a long time. It's so funny how that works, sometimes. You have this vision in your head of what you want it to taste/smell/look like, and then you realize that just is not going to happen. Or maybe … Continue reading Mexican Lentil Chili
I’ve stopped cooking meat, but I’m not a Vegetarian
Yes you read right. I have stopped cooking meat, but don't go calling me a vegetarian and what-not. Confusing? Hypocritical? Maybe. I mentioned my mini-revelation in my last post, but I'll go over it briefly to further illustrate my point. So my family (Mom and Step-dad) have 14 chickens. We live 5 minutes away from … Continue reading I’ve stopped cooking meat, but I’m not a Vegetarian
Chocolate Chia Greek Yogurt Bowl
Study snack or night time munchie, this yogurt bowl satisfies an empty stomach and a sweet tooth. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed in myself. This is the first dessert I have ever written a recipe for. That is insane to me because I absolutely love dessert and eat it at any … Continue reading Chocolate Chia Greek Yogurt Bowl
