I know, tuna is not so impressive. I’ve posted about fancy tuna before, and it really is something I probably overuse at times and underuse at others. I’ll be honest, I despise thinking about money (Leos hate to budget)…but I handed over a cashier’s check for almost $5000 yesterday for my new apartment lease…I’ll fill …

Hello! I want to share a recipe with you for two reasons: (1) It’s darn good and (2) It’s helping me see and admit what issues I need to work on in my life. I’ll cover the light and airy part of this post’s topic first. However, it is a burger with cheese, so it’s …
One of the best things about staying with my cousin is that she loves it when I cook for her…but she’s in Sardinia right now (don’t know where that is? Well….it’s a long way from here!). So I have five days of not having to cook for anyone (not that I have to cook for …
Today I spent most of the day in the kitchen. And at the grocery store. And at Sears buying things I needed in the kitchen (hand mixer, muffin tin…measuring cup…). I made dinner, and the goal of it was to show that healthy eating can be delicious. The menu included: baked rancho-pistachio chicken fingers, broccoli …
What do you do when you intended to get more done in a weekend than was really humanly possible (but you were delusional and totally thought is was)? Well, you post a recipe that you made when you were procrastinating. This one is great. I have just a few containers of Wilderness Family Naturals Coconut …
I’ve still been plugging away at my HIIT workouts 3 times a week (well, it’s more like twice if I’m totally honest…but I intend to do 3). I’ve had several people comment on how toned my arms look, so I feel like it must be working! I definitely feel good (…except my achilles tendons, but …

Today, I spent most of the day working (and a little cleaning…and a little mess-making in the kitchen). I stayed up too darn late last night, so my eyes are burning, but who cares because I made a new nut butter that is totally amazing! Dark Chocolate Nut Butter (no sugar added) In a food …

I kept seeing tweets, instagrams, and fb posts about National Donut Day today, and it quickly solved my indecision about what to do in the kitchen (I was debating between coconut flour mini pizzas, cocoa cashew cookies, and macaroons…) I made a very small batch because (1) I didn’t know how they’d turn out, and …

I’m not so great at posting veggie recipes—most of the veggie dishes I make are not actually recipes. I just throw things together and hope for the best. It’s usually good, but there’s no method to that madness. I did make something post-worthy (in my opinion) this week, though. Aparagus with Mushrooms and Roasted Red …
