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 […]
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. […]
Since getting married in Italy we had been dying to go back. To the point that I actually had a meeting set up with the Italian Consulate to talk about quitting our jobs, selling our house and moving there for a year. I found out […]
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 […]
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 […]
We just got back from almost two weeks abroad. We went to northern Italy and ended in Paris. Out of the entire trip there were two meals, TWO, that were just “ok”. Both countries LOVE their carbs. Breakfasts there aren’t like here so getting […]

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 […]
As you know by now if you have read any of my previous posts – we don’t eat a ton of meat. We may eat meat once on the weekend and sometimes not at all. I always have been picky about eating meat and before […]
It’s getting cold out finally here. There is something about the winter that just makes me crave comfort food. Typically during the week we eat really healthy. Monday thru Thursday are pretty much vegan meals and we save our cheat meals for the weekends. Even […]

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 […]
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. […]
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
