A food-loving girl raised on pasta and tamales
One of my favorite things about traveling abroad is experiencing and adapting to each country and city’s unique food and dining customs. From a small and quite late dinner in Spain, to a light breakfast and an espresso in Italy, it’s always fun to learn about a place’s cultural expression through food and eating. Visiting…
After an amazing time in Chiang Mai it was time to head back south and visit Pattaya City. You can read about our time in Chiang Mai in part 1 of my Thailand recap. From Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok we had just shy of a two hour car ride south to Pattaya City on the…
Quick curry lentils and rice is one of my go-to meals. It’s comfort in a bowl. So when I came across red lentil noodles at Trader Joe’s a few months ago I was really curious to try them. I have used them in several different ways since first trying them, every time trying to figure…
One of my favorite aspects of a CSA is that they require you to be flexible and creative with the ingredients you receive. I’ve written quite a bit about my love for CSA and farmer’s markets and have been really thrilled with all of the options in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. I mentioned a few…

Until about a year ago, I was the person who slept until the last. possible. second. My first year of grad…
I hate to waste produce. So when I found myself with a huge bag of carrot top greens after buying some organic carrots, I knew I needed to put them to good use. Enter carrot top pesto. Carrot top greens have an almost spicy-strong flavor and are delicious. Win win for the environment and your…
When I started doing hot yoga several times a week in early April my smoothie consumption jumped to an all-time high. I received free samples of Libby’s vegetables mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Libby’s Fruits & Vegetables and am eligible to win prizes associated…
Last summer was the summer of Green Tahini in our house. I first discovered Green Tahini at Trader Joe’s when they started carrying it last summer. I often buy their Tahini sauce and when I saw a green herb-packed version I was intrigued. After taking it home, it was so good, I didn’t even share…
