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 […]
I love making Asian food at home. MSG and I don’t mix so I have a hard time eating Asian food out for this reason. I like making simple meals that don’t take a lot of time to put together but have big flavor. These […]
The weekends are reserved for meals that take a little bit more time. Like my drunken chicken parmesan. Druken chicken parmesan is different from the traditional recipe. What makes it unique is by using a vodka sauce instead of a marinara. The effort is about […]

I love stuffed bell peppers, but I don’t love stuffing them. I find that there is a lot of time wasted by pre-baking the pepper and then stuffing it. So I have found a way to remove some of the time and keep all the […]
I have a few recipes that when I go home to visit my dad I request for him to make me. His creamy parmesan orzo dish is one of them. He used to make a huge pan of it when we were younger and we […]
We went to get feta at the store one night for Greek salads and it was sold out. Apparently we missed the memo that baked feta pasta had gone viral on social media courtesy of the recipe from Finnish blogger Liemessa and her recipe for […]
My friend and I were chatting the other day and she said to me “you need to do a blog post on what you buy at Thrive market, I never know what to get.” I was like DONE! So here we are, I am about […]
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 […]
This is the third time writing my New Year, New Mantra post. It’s something I start to look forward to the end of the year. A lot of people make New Year’s resolutions. To me I don’t like New Year’s resolutions. I don’t think you […]
Hi, I am Karissa. I am a carboholic. If you are new to my blog then I am glad we got that out of the way. For those of you who have been around you are well versed in my love for carbs but […]
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

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 […]
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 […]
