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 think I was an Italian grandma in a past life. I love all things pasta. Also I don’t know how to make dinner for two. I cook too much food always. On the weekends I love making pasta. This past weekend was no exception. […]
I love Greek food. And while I don’t cook a ton of their traditional dishes I definitely use them as inspiration. I have been making these grilled chicken Greek bowls almost weekly lately. They sound complicated but they really aren’t. If you have a grill […]

Village salads hands down are one of my favorite things about Greece. We have gone to Greece twice and both times we ate village salads every day. They are so simple yet so delicious. A Village salad is nothing more than tomatoes, bell peppers, red […]
While I am a picky meat eater I love a good gourmet BLT. When I think about pairings of meals BLTs and tater tots are a perfect combo. Especially if the tater tots are crispy. There is a place in Detroit that has the best […]
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 […]
I am having a hard time being inspired these days. Life is frankly chaotic. But I want to share good recipes with others, especially people who are trying to cook more. One of my favorite simple recipes has made my Instagram but I never put […]
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 […]
For the past few years I have wrote about the new year mantra approach I have been taking. I am not one for resolutions because I don’t think you need to wait for a date on the calendar to better your life or make changes. […]
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

Fresh summer tomatoes are one of my favorite ingredients to cook with. When we have visited Europe you see most menus cater to what is in season. You don’t see artichokes in October or root vegetables in the spring. In the US we definitely are […]
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 feel […]
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 […]
