The best vegan sushi
Whenever I see the fam, I can expect the usual shenanigans. Food and laughter are the main components, with lots of stories, random games, spontaneously passing out on the couch from a food coma, and then repeating. I can also expect that my Uncle E will share some amazing cooking tips or a new recipe…

Back in the spin of things

I got to teach cycling last night and am STILL feeling the endorphins.This week I’ve taught Zumba, barre and cycling so far, and surprisingly, cycling felt the best even though I haven’t taught in at…

Not to be confused with the Whole Foods meal, but equally delicious and a rare form of workout torture/triumph.) Ok, and wine too 🙂 Even though it was a little lonely preparing this meal by myself instead of with…

Easy Grilled Pizza

Quality ingredients can go a loooong way, and don’t need to be bogged down with superfluous oils and seasonings. If you use fresh ingredients, the natural taste of the food can truly shine. I learned a…

Kale Caesar
Kale Caesar! One of my favorite quick and easy salads. (Sorry for the blah picture. Our kitchen lighting at night is a little rough.) All you do is mix 1 cup of your favorite hard white cheese -I rolled with the giant manchego mountain we’re climbing- chopped anchovies in olive oil (I think the can…
