MN Nice Cream – A Glittery Summer Treat
My favorite thing about moving to a new place is checking out all of the local small businesses, especially places to eat. I enjoy taking time out of my day to stop at a nearby coffee shop, pick up freshly baked sourdough at a small bakery, or get a refreshing ice cream cone on a […]
Back to School: What I Learned in My First Term of My Nutrition Program
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, […]
Comforting Tea: A Homemade Herbal Tea Recipe
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 […]
Review: Kite Hill Dairy-Free Tortellini
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.

Dairy-Free Croissants from L’artisane
You know those ads that follow you around the internet until you cave and buy something? I’m a sucker for those.

My Word for 2022
I have always considered myself to be an adventurous person. A risk-taker. While I can be a little all over the place, my word for 2021 was focus. After a year of focus, what I learned is that the word is a good fit for some things, and something I didn’t want to force for […]
2021: A Year in Review
Every time I look back on my year, I’m always amazed by how much I have accomplished. However, this year was particularly impressive. It’s like I took the idea of “why not?” and turned it into my driving force for the year. I won’t bore you with details, so here is my list of highlights. […]
Dairy-Free Christmas Cookies: Or, How to Embrace Imperfection
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.
Recipe: Vegan Frozen Oatmeal Cookies
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 […]
Recipe: Dairy-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
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 […]
