It’s been a minute since I blogged here! Being a working mom means being busy and having limited time and energy pretty much.. always! I’ve been trying to find ways to jazz up my mealtime, but still eat fresh, healthy foods cooked at home instead of pure convenience foods. I LOVE how this little…
The word breakfast literally means to break one’s fast. A fast is a time of not eating. So breakfast is literally the time of day where we give our bodies the nourishment that it has not received during our slumber. You can argue that our bodies need less energy during the night, to which I…

Last night, Jonathan and I teamed up to make what turned out to be a delicious dinner! We made a pork schnitzel with brussell sprouts and cranberry sauce. Okay, the cranberry sauce was on hand, as you can tell from the perfect can-shape pictured above (thanks, Ocean Spray!). For the Schnitzel, we used this…
I wanted to share my healthy meal plan, and before I go any further, I have to thank the amazing folks over at Pursuit Fitness (https://www.facebook.com/PursuitFitnessPerformance) because this meal plan comes from them. Getting organized is all me, but the food ideas for staying healthy and energized are all theirs. Anyway, that’s…

Jonathan’s birthday was yesterday, and since we had already celebrated by camping with our dear friends and then satisfying our foodie souls in Chicago and meeting Graham Elliot (yes, there will be an entirely separate post about all of this!!)- I decided to keep his actual (and unfortunately landed on a MONDAY) birthday pretty low…
Today, I had the immense pleasure of spending the day with one of my favorite people to do crafty things with – Nancy! We decided to take on something crafty AND delicious – making homemade bubble (boba) tea! We had so much fun that I felt the need to share how delightfully easy and…
This week, I am visiting my sister, Alysha, in Lexington. She loves mushrooms and my “cheesy rice” (which is her affectionate term for my risottos.) So I invented a new one for her! I am going to tell you guys how I made this, but I wanted to add a few notes. First, halfway through,…
For dinner tonight, I made kalbi, warm fennel salad and a root beer risotto. For the kalbi, I used a recipe from Food Network which you can find here. In case you aren’t familiar with kalbi (or galbi), it is a korean barbecued short rib. To really do this right, you would purchase korean cut…
