Over the past few years, I’ve developed an appreciation for hard cider. This likely stemmed from my indifferent feelings on beer, which I have to be in the mood for. Granted, I’ve totally become a regular at 2way Brewery here in Beacon, NY, but that’s an exception. (I’ve got friends that work there and it’s …

Healthy Spicy Tuna Bowl Recipe (Annie Chun’s Seaweed Snacks)
Sushi: You either love it or you hate it. Seafood isn’t for everyone, so I totally get it. I happen to love it, so I’m always down for sushi-inspired recipes. I mean, one of the best things about living in SF was the sushiritos… seriously. Like the rest of the foodie world, I’m also a huge fan …
Rosé Wine & Lavender Sorbet (Ruffino Wine Recipe)
For someone who doesn’t drink a lot of alcohol, I really like boozy dessert recipes. It has a lot to do with the creativity aspect. Sure, cocktails are fun and delicious… but wine ice pops? Guinness beer cupcakes? Whiskey coffee frosting? Yes, please. I’ve made all of these concoctions several times, and the love never fades. …
Matcha Mango Bark (matchaLOVE Recipe)
From coconut cinnamon bun smoothies to pumpkin sunbutter chocolate cups, healthy sweets are kind of my obsession.

Coconut Cinnamon Bun Smoothie (Coromega Fish Oil Recipe)
Lately, I’ve become obsessed with discovering new ways to amplify the things I already do. And when it comes to recipes? Supplements always come through. Of course, there’s nothing better than the most natural form of a nutrient. But supplements can really amp things up.

Coconut-Crusted French Toast Recipe
On most mornings, I make a veggie omelette. Other times, I’ll eat banana pancakes (highly recommended!) or a bagel with cream cheese, spices, and veggies. All of them are fool-proof favorites that I can eat every single day. But lately? I’ve been really into crazy French toast recipes. It all started with this gingersnap-crusted French toast …
Recipe: Leftover Gingerbread House Whiskey Truffles
I hate wasting food. Always have, always will. This holds true even for the sweets and not-so-great-for-you treats. (I’m looking at you, gingerbread houses.) And since we all know the holiday season is FULL of said treats… I couldn’t help but brainstorm a way to put a leftover gingerbread house to good use. After all, …
Amazing Grass Recipe: Chocolate Peppermint Superfood Ice Cream (Non-Dairy)
First off, I’m totally aware it’s the middle of December right now. But when you have a sweet tooth like myself, it’s never too cold for ice cream. Besides, this New York weather has gone from 50 to 20 to 50 again… so, ice cream it is. Banana ice cream, at least. And while non-dairy banana …

Don’t worry, though—I won’t bore you with the crazy scientific details. I’m all …
Extra Crispy: Snowman Marshmallow DIY
As I sat down to share this project, I suddenly had a realization. All of my (rare) cutesy, quirky projects are related to food. Always. Can you blame a girl? Everything seems 10000x more awesome when there’s food involved. I like my projects like I like my puns… food related. Recently, I made these hilariously …
