For the past three years my husband and I have been cooking dinner for 20 or so of our close friends on New Years Eve. We host it at our BFF Christopher’s house because his kitchen was bigger than when we lived in our loft. […]
Self care is not selfish. Repeat that. Self care is not selfish. Self care is NECESSARY! Before I had my baby I didn’t have to prioritize self care. My life was full of it. Yoga every day, massages every other week, spa days, traveling whenever […]
I had felt a little under the weather last week so I wanted a good soup to eat. But I had just made chicken noodle soup the week before and wanted something on the broth side. Tomato soup sounded good but I needed to mix […]

I love lasagna! Actually I love pasta in general, so lasagna is no exception. I love all the layers of pasta and cheesy goodness. But it is such process to make (here is a recipe for a traditional version). So it’s not something I make […]
Chicken wild rice soup was something my dad would bring a big pot of when he would visit me in college. Growing up in the Upper Peninsula winter lasts what feels like six months. So soup becomes a staple. He would come visit and I […]
The other night my girlfriends and I got together for some much needed drinks and time together. We were talking about the stress of COVID and how it’s really hard. For everyone. We chatted about at home workouts and weight gain. One of my friends […]
There are some nights when I don’t want to cook but don’t feel like getting take out either. Chipolte is a go-to for us as far as takeout goes. I love their veggie burrito bowls. The combination of beans, rice and faijta veggies are light […]
It’s been awhile since I wrote a “life lesson from a yogi” post. The world we live in has been so crazy. It is scary and HARD trying to navigate this new “norm” if you will. It is astounding to think that literally every person […]
Since it’s summer we are eating a ton more salads. They are perfect on a hot summer night. We don’t eat a lot of bread but every now and again we make BLTs and I don’t like the rest of the bread to go to […]
Lately I have been inspired by my travels when I cook dinner. Probably more so than ever since I am unable to travel anywhere. We have been cooking a lot of Greek inspired dishes. From Village Salads to Greek Bowls. The other night we were […]
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

I LOVE a good broccoli cheddar soup! Panera has one of my favorite versions. When I was little my grandpa used to make cream of broccoli with chicken soup that was also good. But it was a little runny and made with full fat milk […]
Pantry cooking? I don’t even really know how to do that since I rely on fresh foods entirely. These times are crazy right now so I am learning to be resourceful. So usually I don’t create posts like this but we are in weird times […]
We finally got snow! So it’s the perfect type of day to make some comfort food. I don’t eat red meat a ton but sometimes I CRAVE a good beef stew. My husband moved here from Texas and he used to think it was so […]
