The people who know me well would describe me as someone who is perpetually in school. I even have “lifelong learner” on my LinkedIn profile title. Since my undergrad, I enrolled in a 6-month coding bootcamp, started (but didn’t finish…yet) studying for ACE personal trainer certification, received certification in a 200-hour yoga teacher training program, […]
Nothing is better to me than a comforting tea on a chilly day. As I previously mentioned, at any given time, I have no less than 8 varieties of tea in my house, and that’s putting it pretty conservatively. I love getting teas from Rishi, Fava Tea, and other local sellers, but I’ve started to […]
Dairy-free tortellini + winter = A match made in heaven Especially when the weather gets colder, I love easy, no-fuss, comforting meals that feel fancier than they are. It’s also so exciting to me to get dairy-free versions of things that are hard to find just anywhere. That’s what I love about Kite Hill’s almond […]

I’ve wanted to write about these dairy-free Christmas cookies for years. Seriously. I’ve been making this exact recipe for so long, I can’t even tell you when I first took it on.
Vegan frozen oatmeal cookies – my take on my grandma’s recipe This is a project that is many years in the making. I tried to make a go of it last year with my first YouTube video – but, you know, life was pretty hectic for all of us. I shelved the project with every […]
It’s strawberry rhubarb season! If you know me in real life, you know I’m a huge fan of strawberry season. I’m one of those serious types at the u-pick berry farms – head down, getting as much as I can before I get too itchy from the hay or too hot from the sun beating […]
On this episode, recorded in July 2020, I interview Lisa Kingery, RDN and CEO and Founder of FoodRight Inc., a Milwaukee-area organization focused on teaching students about healthy food preparation, knife skills, and more.
