I am dedicating an entire post to this topic because it’s an important one. Every single person on this planet needs to drink water to survive, thus, a good place to start is how much water you should be drinking a day. To figure this out, calculate your body weight in pounds, divide it...
Eco-Conscious
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon, Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned, Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains, Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? -Pocahontas Today is Earth Day, and although I completely agree we should have a...
Cranberry Apple Hummus
This is an interesting, yet wildly delicious hummus recipe. The cranberries give it a bitter hit, while the apples sweeten it up and balance it out. Pair it with cheese and crackers, and you’ll be on top of the taste bud world! If you’re not a cranberry connoisseur or they’re just a bit too bitter...
Baba Gahummus
I tried baba ganoush for the first time and loved it – but was also fascinated by it. It’s very similar to hummus, but is made with cooked eggplant instead of chickpeas. I am a passionate lover of hummus, and chickpeas, which led to the combination of baba ganoush and hummus, and wallah! It’s...
Turmeric Oats & Eggs
Oats are a beautiful thing. They are simple and plain, and you can dress them up however you want! I usually go the sweeter route with my oats, but decided to switch it up and see what I could come up with. SUCCESS. So now, I present to you, the beautiful combination of savory...

I’d been looking for a creative way to eat my first acorn squash, and boy, did I hit the jackpot. I made this around the holidays so I stuck to the festive theme. The flavors played off each other so nicely; the cranberries gave it a bitter kick, while the almonds sweetened it up...

Buffalo Chickpea Stir-Salad
I came across a recipe for buffalo chickpeas on Pinterest and obviously I had to try it out. We couldn’t decide which direction we wanted to take it in – a stir fry or a salad. So naturally, we combined the options and it came out PERFECT! I sauteed my vegetables about half the...
Blueberry Matcha Muffins
I love to bake, but I definitely don’t do it enough. I actually won this mix in an Instagram giveaway, so I figured I would get creative with it – one of the many reasons I love baking. To be honest, I pulled this combo out of the air and then looked it up...
