When you’re planning meals for breakfast do you every think about your gut health? What about for other meals, is gut health on your radar? This month’s recipe redux theme is gut-healthy meals. While I in no way claim to be an registered dietitian (RD), I do my best to make healthy and balanced meals…
While it may not feel like fall with this heatwave sweeping across the country, at least the fall produce is arriving in full force. I have been loving picking up a bag full of various squash, winter greens, and apples from City Fresh each week. In the last few weeks I’ve come home with some…
Over the past month I have become obsessed with meal prep. Starting a new job in August, it was finally time to jump on the band wagon and give meal prep a real try. After much research on Pinterest and across some of my favorite blogs, I decided to go with an ingredient rather than…
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…

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…
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…
