After a day of eating and drinking in D.C., I was in the mood for something quick and healthy for dinner. I remembered that Jose Andres had opened a few fast casual vegetarian spots, called Beefsteak. Fortunately, there was a location less than than a five minute walk […]
I have a love affair with grilled peaches. Well, any peaches really. At the peak of their season they’re so juicy. And sweet. And I’m drooling now just thinking about them. Often in the summer if I’m already grilling, I’ll halve some peaches and throw then on the grill […]
I bought a NutriBullet Blender a few months ago and since then I’ve been blending things whenever I get the chance. One of my kitchen staples has been a nice jar of Romesco sauce. It’s creamy, nutty, and bright – it gives a pop to everything I’ve been […]
I love summer time, BBQ’s with friends are one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon. With the summer officially in full swing now, I have plenty of afternoon BBQ’s on my calendar. I’m not one to show up with some sad store bought salad, but it’s also […]
One of my favorite things to order when we go out for Mexican food is Elote. Juicy corn kernels, slathered with cheese and a mildly spicy mayo, that’s just a dream come true. But sometimes, I find that the corn is a little too mayo heavy OR it’s not […]

In an effort to eat healthier in 2017, I’m going gluten + dairy lite while increasing my plant based foods. Living the dream – I know. While there’s nothing I want more than a hot slice of pizza, eating more veggies isn’t all bad. I had a chance to […]
