I’m sure many of you can empathize with the fact that I have been feeling so uninspired by my recipes lately. I have been going through a serious creative rut, and it has been so hard to get out of! Sometimes I try to force it out by going to the grocery store with no plan, and just choosing ingredients that call out to me, and that usually works. This time however, it was a little different. My boyfriend called […]
Crispy rice cakes – need I say more? Well, I will – spicy tuna topping!! I wish I could put into words how amazing this dish is! Well, I’m a “food writer” so I should be able to right?! The crispy rice cakes were so crunchy, they had a hint of saltiness to them when I fried them, and the middles were soft and almost a touch juicy – so good. Then, I topped them with the tuna tartar mixture. The flavor […]
I have been thinking about making a recipe like this easy creamy mushroom soup for a long time. Like eggplant, mushrooms are also an obsession of mine- I can eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner – I really could never get tired of them.

She cooked it for us one night, and we instantly fell in love. My brother and I asked for it over and over again after that first time, and she was so pleased we liked something healthy that she ended up writing to the company that we bought […]
My last post of 2016!!!!! I don’t know about you, but I am SO ready for this year to be over. The end of this year was such a stressful time with all of the holiday parties and social engagements, I am just ready for January to be here! Since we have been going non-stop lately, we decided to make this New Years a really relaxed one. Tonight we are having a Lucky Peach potluck dinner party! If you read one […]
I’m sorry I have been away so long! The holidays and life caught me so off guard this year, I have had the hardest time finding a moment to gather myself – but I’m back, and I can’t wait to tell you what I have been up to! A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to work with some really talented bloggers in a workshop taught by Betty of Betty Liu Food Photography, and Sophie of The Green Life. Food photography […]
