A food-loving girl raised on pasta and tamales
Let’s talk mornings. What is your morning routine like? Do you have one established? Still figuring it out? This post was sponsored by Jord Watches. Thanks for helping me keep my mornings on track! Until about a year ago, I was the person who slept until the last. possible. second. My first year of grad…
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…
Every time I cook fish at home I ask myself why I don’t cook more fish. It’s such a healthy protein and so quick and easy to put together for a hearty meal. I am an even bigger fan when the fish is fresh from the ocean and can serve as inspiration for a delicious…
Tuna salad is something I never seem to get tired of eating. It’s my go-to when I can’t come up with anything to pack for lunch, or lately after an evening hot yoga class at Core Power yoga, when I’m too hot to turn on even the stove. I love that tuna salad is creamy,…

Happy Earth day! Did you know that Earth day this year is Saturday, April 22? I’ve seen a few events around town to celebrate and the national March for Science was also planned on Earth day, which I think is pretty great. It’s an interesting day in the sense that every day should be earth…
One of my greatest passions when it comes to food and cooking is the incorporation of local ingredients. I find myself so inspired by local produce, trips to the farmer’s market, my neighborhood spice shop, and trying out new local products. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Santhoshi, a local cook,…
When I get on a kick with a certain food or snack I really get into it. This winter my favorite thing to eat has been roasted broccoli dipped in chili garlic mayo (I liked this brand). It wasn’t until a few months ago that I started roasting broccoli, mostly for buddha bowls, and it…
Raise your hand if you love tapas! Not just tapas-style meals which have become more and more popular, but actual Spanish tapas. I feel in love while studying in Spain during college and continue to crave some of those traditional Spanish flavors. This recipe is a mash up of two of the most popular tapas…
