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 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 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 […]
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 […]
I seriously could eat soup every day, but especially in the winter. Lately I have been loving a good brothy soup. Normally I cook with a lot of vegetarian broth but there is something about chicken broth that makes me feel comforted. And I love […]
