So lately there are two things I definitely don’t have time to do (well actually that list is way more than two). Make a good breakfast and blog. During the week we, I mean MY HUSBAND, makes us smoothies for breakfast. Then on the weekends […]
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 […]
Finding time to sit down and type these days are rare. My husband is sick and taking a nap and I have baby down so here we go! Since I had Isley I have quite a few people I know that have become pregnant. A […]
Summer time is in full force. And with summer comes summer parties and barbecues. Recently we had a party to go to and i knew I needed to make a dish. One of my best friends had been traveling in Greece and was sending […]
[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hen people ask me where my favorite vacation was hands down it was Greece. My best friend is first generation American and his family is from little villages in Greece. He often goes back, so often that my friends usually tag along on his trips. […]
[dropcap]G[/dropcap]rowing up I remember my dad would make us grilled chicken caesar salads all the time. We had this indoor grill that he used to grill up the chicken and it always had a great char/almost crust to it. We always used Cardini’s caesar dressing […]
[dropcap]I[/dropcap] grew up in a small town that had no diversity really, just lots of small town white kids at my high school. I moved to Detroit over 10 years ago and I remember hearing the term Chaldean and I had NO clue what it […]

Spring is here. Kind of. It’s supposed to snow tonight so you never really know in Michigan. But we have had a few warmer days lately which gets me excited. I love seeing the food switch over in the grocery store when the season changes. […]

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 […]
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 […]
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
