Right now I am sitting on a beach. I am most likely drinking a fruity beverage. I am very grateful that you don’t mind, I wrote this the day before I boarded a plane and set my email to be unavailable. I also added an all too appropriate and hilarious photo of the beach with lounge chairs, and the bluest water you have ever seen. I crack myself up. Cheers to a new site, good food, fruity beverages, lounge chairs, and a well deserved…

This sings Summer does it not? Crisp, fresh salads and maybe some serious meats are on the menu all Summer long. Every year it starts and ends the same. Many salads, and many grilled vegetables and meats. This Summer is no different. Although it started with a trip to Mexico that inspired me in so many ways. This is another inspiration from our trip to the Yucatan. Cucumber, mango, and pineapple salad with the best savory and sweet dressing to…

Disclosure: This is a compensated in collaboration with Annie’s Organic Homegrown Products. As usual all opinions are my own. It’s pretty simple, who doesn’t love mac and cheese? And further who doesn’t love a good boxed mac and cheese, we all have a place in outr hearts for this pre-made yumminess.

So here we are safe and sound embarking on new adventures. I will be starting The…

Winter citrus galette wonderland is the perfect way to escape the winter blues and healthy recipes fluttering the internet this week. I am the biggest offender in this, I posted a slough of healthy recipes on Monday lol! I had to, I among many others are making it a deal to eat healthier after the holidays. But on the flip side we must enjoy ourselves and a bit of citrus, nestled in a treat of buttery crust. Really though, this is actually a…

Naturally on May 15th, National Hummus Day, I would make you a hummus recipe right?! And I did! You can use hummus in thousands of ways as we all know. I am in Miami right now, so I thought it would be appropriate to share a Latin inspired recipe turned Mediterranean.
