Grilled Veggie Sandwich (perfect for Late Summer/Early Fall!)
You guys...this grilled veggie sandwich I made the other day was a-mayyyy-zzzing. It was so good, I instantly posted it on Instagram, and made a promise to post it on the blog...and since I like to keep promises, here it is! This sandwich makes use of veggies that...
BYO Festival Food
A week and a half ago, I had a dream of mine for many years realized when I went to The Lights Fest. I know I'm not the only one who saw that scene in Disney's Tangled and was bummed out that at that time, you'd generally have to travel to Thailand to see something...
Creating a New Routine This Fall
It's that time of the year again, where the summer comes to an end, and the kids go back to school. Even though I'm now in my 40's, and have kids of my own I'm sending off to school, I still get that feeling of excitement each fall. It's the promise of something...
Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019: Four Tips to Help You Get Rid of Negative Thoughts
I've been taking a break for the last couple weeks, not posting any blogs or recipes, and taking time to do things around the house. But to be honest, until late on January 1st, I'd also been avoiding doing any kind of deep reflection on the past year, or thinking...

Lentil Street Tacos
One of the things I make more than anything else when I'm down to some mish mash ingredients in my fridge and freezer are tacos. My kids love quesadillas (I just put some cheese between two corn tortillas and heat them up in a pan), and my husband and I like just...
Embracing The Winter Energy
This Friday, December 21st, is the winter solstice. In Chinese Medicine, this is considered to be the peak of the winter season (yes, peak...not the start), and the most yin time of the year. What are the properties of yin? Dark, feminine, mysterious, passive,...
Healthy Salmon Patties
My mom is from Kentucky, and so I grew up eating some Southern foods, even though we lived in Maryland. One of those dishes was "salmon patties"...and to be honest, I kind of dreaded the nights that they were on the menu. The grease smell filled the air, and those...
Recipes to Warm You Up This Winter
I don't know about you, but when the weather gets cooler, and those first snowflakes fall, I'm all about comforting, warming dishes, and making big pots of soups and stews. Here I've assembled some of my favorite dishes for you to make to keep you warm all winter...
