Fall is finally here. Even though lately in Michigan it doesn’t feel like it. One of my favorite foods of fall are all the varieties of squash. Pumpkin, acorn, spaghetti, butternut just to name a few. The one thing I find though with squash recipes […]
Last year I wrote about going into the New Year with a mantra. My mantra for 2018 was “embrace change”. I originally thought about “accept change” but to me that was just being “ok” with something changing versus really embracing it and being MORE THAN […]
When my husband and I thought about having kids we always thought “either way we will be happy”. If we got pregnant we knew we would love our little baby, but if we didn’t we knew we would continue on with the life as we […]
I am now at the end of my pregnancy (I HOPE!!!!) so spending hours in the kitchen sounds less appealing to me. I get tired so easily just standing these days that I don’t want to be slumped over my kitchen counters chopping and […]
It is FREEZING out. As in the air hurts your face cold. While we were home for Christmas it was so cold I didn’t even want to leave the house. Then we came back to Detroit and it wasn’t any better. Even though I […]
It has been a crazy fall here in Michigan. Normally this time of the year we have a nice crisp breeze which makes staying inside on Sundays to watch football that much better. Not this year. Lately it’s been seventy and sunny out which […]
April showers brings May flowers colds. Ughh! I have been hit with the change of season bug. And let me tell you it is not fun. The only thing that has sounded good the past week has been a really brothy soup. But I […]
I am constantly looking for ways to reinvent the wheel. Especially in the kitchen! I have some go-to meals that we might make every week or some recipes that I use more often than others. Since I cook soups every weekend it is almost […]

It’s been well over a year since I wrote Part 1 of this post. Since then my life has changed pretty significantly with the addition to our family. I am even more picky about what we use in the house in regards to cleaners, laundry […]
When I was little my mom didn’t cook a ton. She made maybe six or seven dishes. One of the dishes she used to make was cheesy broccoli casserole. It had white rice, chicken, broccoli and some kind of condensed cream of something soup. […]
It’s funny when you have a vision in your head of how things are “supposed” to go and it turns out the complete opposite. Or you make a plan for a big event only to have it go completely sideways. It’s moments like that […]
How many times do you find yourself saying “I wish I looked like I did when ……”, or “I will fit into my “skinny” jeans again”. I feel like a lot of people make comments about the bodies they once had and how they want […]
Cooking dinner these days has been a little different than in the past. Long gone are the days of trying to spend hours in the kitchen prepping dinner. Baby girl makes that a little difficult when she is still in unpredictable with her feedings. By […]

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he past months for me have been eye opening. As most of you know I am nine plus months pregnant right now. My due date has passed. Also for those of you that personally know me, you know that I don’t have a “rest” […]
On cold winter days sometimes a good meal of comfort food sounds good, even if it’s not as healthy as we normally eat. We were sitting inside during a snow storm tying to plan dinner. My husband suggested lasagna but I didn’t want just […]
I am a foodie, yogi, lover and Detroiter. I am passionate about everything I do. I live by the 80/20 rule to try to eat healthy and take care of my body. I have learned that you can’t always control everything and 20% of the time I let go. I hope to be an inspiration to anyone who comes to my site. See the “Who Am I” section for more information. Namaste! Karissa
