Easy Berry Cobbler Cookies
I went home this weekend for a party at my dad’s house in Ohio. He throws the best parties, so it was a no-brainer. On the drive there, my husband said that he didn’t feel like summer officially starts until we go to my dad’s house. There’s a neighborhood pool in the backyard. Fireflies, breezy nights […]
Coconut Quinoa and Beans + Staying In Vacation Mode At Home
I just got back from vacation and it was one of my most favorite adventures ever! But I pretty much say that every time I go on a a trip. It has a lot to do with the setting, but it has even more to do with being in vacation mode. Something changes inside of […]

On my way to a lunch meeting, I got into my cab and the driver yelled “Something smells good!” I thought he was talking about the chili in my bag, so I started explaining the ingredients and he interrupted me and said “No, I meant you”. Well, thank you. Va Va Voom. He recognized the […]
I Love You Easy Açaí Bowls
Remember a few years back when açaí hit the US? It was everywhere. In juices, vodkas, spirits, powders…and diet pills. Those damn diet pills. I never f’d with them, but that didn’t keep them from f’ing with my credit card. I had a whole bunch of fraudulent charges for açaí diet pills that I for sure […]
