The holidays are a dream come true for anyone who loves crafts, recipes, or all of the above. I mean, it gives you the perfect excuse to make all the things. (Homemade gifts, anyone?) And while I’m more of a Halloween-and-autumn kind of gal, I can’t resist a fun winter holiday DIY. Extra points if it’s exceptionally …

Baked Carrot Cake Maca Doughnuts Recipe

There’s something so satisfying about making healthy(ish) versions of your favorite treats. To me, it’s like killing two birds with one stone: Your sweet tooth and body are satisfied. And while I’ll be the first to admit that these desserts usually don’t taste like their “normal” counterparts, they’re still delicious and easy to make. Count me in! …

How do you feel about chai tea? Personally, I love it. There is just something so cozy and comforting about the combination of zesty spices and flavors. And when the autumn season comes around, my obsession with chai tea basically doubles in size. This year, I knew I just had to make a chai-infused body …

Pumpkin Hummus Chicken Recipe

Pumpkin hummus is a thing. Hummus chicken is also a thing. If these dishes were to have a baby, I’m thinking it would look something like this pumpkin hummus chicken recipe. Besides, around this time of the year, seasonal ingredients are always in the back of my mind. I am constantly trying to figure out how to …

Acai Cottage Cheese Pancakes

There’s something so comforting about a stack of pancakes. In my mind, they literally just feel like the weekend. (However, if you’re a freelancer or don’t work a 9-to-5, you’re probably wondering what is this “weekend” I speak of. I know the feeling!) Regardless, I think we can all agree that pancakes can do no wrong. …

eHow: How to Make Fruit Spring Rolls

Vegan Matcha Ice Cream

As the temperatures rise and the days last longer, I can’t help but dream about tasty frozen desserts. There’s ice cream, frozen yogurt, smoothies… and everything in between. And while I will never turn down a trip to the local creamery, nothing beats a healthy “nice cream” made with wholesome, simple ingredients. (Banana ice cream, …

Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Meatballs Recipe

Lately, I have been on a serious veggie meatball kick. To start, over at eHow, I made quinoa, mushroom and white kidney bean vegan meatballs. (Hello, plant protein!) For Nature’s Earthly Choice, I whipped up a batch of lentil and eggplant meatballs. (These were a hit with my friends.) The delicious fun doesn’t stop there, though. I …

eHow: Fruit Tart Pizza

Oh, pizza. There’s something so nostalgic and delicious about it. Plus, as a born and bred New Yorker, you can be sure that I’m quite the critique when it comes to this tasty classic. (The same goes for burritos after I lived in San Francisco for a short while, but that’s another story)… And while pizza …

Beet Powder Blush DIY

Homemade beauty products are some of my favorite things to make. I mean, once upon a time, I was obsessed with makeup. Sephora and Ulta were my version of candy stores (after Michaels and Jo-Ann’s, of course). Yet, I never liked a full face, and I rarely used the products I owned! Thankfully, my makeup …
