Summer vegetables make me so happy. I love tomatoes in the summer. This summer my daughter and I have a garden on our balcony and my tomato plants have grown so big and tall. She loves being able to help go pick tomatoes even if […]
If you have lived in the Detroit area you would have heard of Buddy’s Pizza. Famous for their pizza but who knew that Buddy’s minestrone soup is equally as amazing? Buddy’s Pizza is a “Detroit original”. It has been around since 1946 and are known […]

When I think light pasta my mind goes right to angel hair. There is something about the thin noodles that makes me think of pasta as light, even if it’s in a creamy sauce. I was in the mood for some “light” pasta the other […]
One of my favorite things to get from Chipotle is a veggie burrito bowl. They are simple yet flavorful. Beans replace the meat (and frankly I think taste better). But the star of the burrito bowl in my opinion are the veggies. We live in […]
In the summer I love any recipe with tomatoes. So gear up for more…. But for real I want to incorporate summer tomatoes into EVERYTHING. My husband was making steak the other night and I was trying to figure out a good side dish to […]
On a ninety degree sunny day what is the first thing that comes to mind to cook? Mac and cheese! No? Just me? Ok not really but it was Father’s Day and the day was all about making my husband things HE liked which is […]
Lately we have been on a major salad kick. Since we got back from our vacation from Mexico I have been CRAVING veggies. The best way to get them I find is in a salad. Growing up my dad always made Caesar salads for us […]
Summer is officially here. I don’t know about you but in the summer I tend to eat way more salads. I think the thought of eating piping hot food on a hot summer day is just too much. This past weekend we were bbq’ing with […]
Spring is here. Well really it feels like summer these days. And with the change in season comes a change of in season vegetables. The tomatoes are getting sweeter, asparagus, ramps and artichokes are in season. I love cooking with these vegetables. I love combining […]
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

On Sundays I make soup. Most of the time that is. I love being able to have leftovers for the week. This Sunday I was looking for something easy to make. I knew that my version of tomato soup is always pretty simple. Roasting the […]
My husband could eat Mexican food everyday (he is from Texas). It was Soup Sunday so I decided to appease him and make some veggie enchilada inspired soup for him. This soup is a one pot meal that makes clean up soup-er easy! Enchilada Inspiration…. […]
Guess how we kicked off the New Year? With soup of course! I made a big pot of Italian inspired creamy chicken noodle soup on New Year’s Day. I don’t make a ton of meat soups because I usually eat them through out the week […]
After enjoying our Thanksgiving weekend and eating a some richer than usual food I was really craving some veggies. And of course it was Sunday so Soup Sundays. I was so conflicted. I wanted something brothy but hearty. Something with protein but no meat. And […]
