I have been craving pasta lately but I was sick and tired of my go-to tomato based ground turkey sauce. It’s delicious but I wanted something more luxurious.

Yesterday was Valentine’s day. Due to a recent development, my husband was advised to omit soy, dairy, wheat, yeast, eggs and nuts. That shit is in EVERYTHING.

Everyone and their uncle is making banana bread right now. So what sets this one apart? LOVE. Just kidding. You can find similar recipes online but this one is easy, delicious and kind of healthy? A bit of chocolate never hurt anyone. Except maybe dogs. I made banana bread a few weeks ago from a… Continue reading Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
I weighed myself for the first time in almost a year. I’ve gained 10 pounds. Most of that is from my time in quarantine. I’m not eating fast food or takeout but I am drinking wine and eating sweets well into the evening. I’ve always had quite the appetite but it was balanced out by… Continue reading Falafel Plate with Mediterranean Salad
HOLY SHIT. I’M QUARANTINING IN A CABIN IN THE MIDDLE OR RURAL QUEBEC. A week ago I had no idea that I’d leave my apartment in LA and drive 42 hours back to Canada, but here we are.
