It’s 2018 and just like kale, matcha, and avocado had their time, cauliflower is ready to take center stage. I was skeptical at first, health-wise aside, I ‘d rarely choose pizza first, or even last, on a menu. However, in the past few months as I’ve observed up and coming recipe posts and the health world’s renewed interest in (cauliflower) pizza, I too chose to join in. After my own secret affair with pizza to try and discover the perfect balance between crunch and doughy, cheesy and saucy, it’s safe to say we have a winner….
Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Coffee Maker
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of De’Longhi Group. The opinions and text are all mine.
The holidays are, without a doubt, the most special and festive time of the year (aside from my birthday!). Some people celebrate with gifts (here’s a holiday gift guide in case you’re late) and others celebrate with Italian coffee and gluten-free cookies. I am very much a part of the latter group. It was a special day in my home last week when I received the De’Longhi Dedica DeLuxe and Dedica Grinder. I had heard of De’Longhi before, but I wasn’t particularly familiar with their functionality or product line. Lets just put it this way, if I’ve made a conscious choice of coffee over presents, then you know they’re doing something right….
Homemade Flax Crackers and Everything Hummus
Admit it. Holiday season has you running around like a crazy. You’re trying to close out the year, make everyone on your gift list happy, and, of course, stay sane while you’re at it. Whoever says there’s no such thing as holiday madness is sadly mistaken, and unfortunately healthy eating gets put on the back burner in times like this. Luckily, I’m here with a solution and you’re here reading this post….
3 Fiber-Rich Snacks To Eat Post Workout
Fiber has always been one of the magic nutrients that help with weight loss and revving up the metabolism. It keeps us full with less calories, longer. Lately I’ve been on a big fiber kick myself and have completely changed my eating habits. It’s one of those things that I always knew about, but didn’t quite put into action enough. Fiber and protein are two of the most powerful, and strategic, nutrients everyone should be consuming for overall health and weight loss. …
My 10 Produce Essentials At The Supermarket
The past year has been a whirlwind of changes and inconsistency. I traveled far more than I ever expected, moved a total of three times, and struggled to find a balance between being on the go and staying still. Months would go by without stepping foot into a grocery store and no two days were the same when it came to food. I can’t say this was the most settling thing because, by nature, I am a creature of structure….
What’s The Deal With Mindful Eating?
First avocado was hot. Then matcha became all the rage. Now mindful eating has taken over, so essentially we can eat anything but it has to be mindful. But of course if you’re being mindful you’re choosing only good things because chances are if you’re mindful you also do yoga and if you do yoga you must be vegan, and if you’re vegan – oh you must be very healthy.

Flourless Raspberry Oatmeal Cookies
And just like that, it’s 2017. I don’t feel, and haven’t ever felt, fond towards New Year’s resolutions. They last a whole 5 minutes, and tend to bring you right back to where you started.
Why not make improvement a year-round thing?…
The One Nutrient You’re Probably Not Getting Enough Of
Good fats, bad fats. Good cholesterol, bad cholesterol. Good proteins, bad proteins. We’ve heard it all.
If there’s one health buzzword that hasn’t eaten your ear off yet, I’d bet it’s probably probiotics.
Even if you have heard of the concept of probiotics, when’s the last time you actually had one? If you would have spoken to me just a month ago I would have told you just that. Sure, I know what a probiotic is and am relatively familiar where I can find them, but it’s not a priority for me. If you talk to me now, probiotics are a staple in my diet and I might’ve found the easiest way to take them too!…
How I’m Getting My Daily Greens In These Days
Once upon a time I had all of the time in the world to make several big green smoothies and a huge green salad for any given meal. As life would have it, today that’s just not the case. I must have been living in fantasy land (I was in college, so all the time makes sense) because there’s no way I’d be able to imagine having the headspace, energy, or planning to whip up greens like I did then. I remember vividly being so excited about my morning smoothie and using bunches and bunches of kale and spinach to fill my blender. I also recall making garlicky kale, green soup, and green salad in every which way; my head could explode just thinking about it. While I did feel on top of the world and so energized, I know that now running from meeting to meeting, airplane to airplane, and adventure to adventure, there had to be an alternative out there. …
How To Make A Farmer’s Market Dinner On The Fly

photo by smittenkitchen
After visiting Italy and passing through my fair share of fresh fruit and vegetable markets, herb gardens, and mouthwatering meal experiences, I have felt really inspired to be back in the kitchen. It’s been a long time since I last got to cooking a meal that I felt connected to and proud of sourcing the ingredients on my own and planning it out from start to finish. After spending a few weeks in New York post my European adventures, I thought what better time to visit the farmer’s market and make a really fresh meal out of the visit. …
