Crave-driven recipes and lifestyle inspiration.
Yes, you read that correctly; BEET red velvet cupcakes and yes, they are delicious. Beets have been the one food I’ve had a hard time enjoying. I’ve taken the occasional bite when paired with goat cheese, but even that has been struggle. What better way to get over my hatred for these extremely nutritious veg than to turn it into a baked good?

It could just be me, but this feels like the coldest Winter we’ve ever had. Maybe it’s because I semi-recently downsized from a house with a backyard to an apartment without – which means I need to leave my warm, cozy couch to walk my dog in the freezing cold, rather than just let her run around outside. Or maybe it’s because we’re in the middle of a polar vortex… probably that. Either way, it’s nice to have an easy, healthy, comforting and hot bowl of soup to come home to after freezing our butts off in the bone-chilling air. This recipe is my go-to this winter.

After going vegetarian the last few years, it’s surprising I’ve waited until now to try jackfruit. While it seems the most common usage for this fruit-with-a-meat-like-texture is pulled ‘pork’ or ‘chicken’ sandwiches, I’m not the biggest fan of BBQ. That said, I thought enchiladas would be the perfect vehicle to test this vegetarian-friendly fruit. This recipe was such a success, I’m ready to use jackfruit in other scenarios – like buffalo ‘chicken’ dip!

I’ve recently taken an interest in keeping my gut healthy. After spending the majority of my life struggling with unknown GI issues, and more recently constant stomach pain, I’ve learned that I have a very sensitive stomach. While this isn’t the most exciting topic, I have a feeling most people can relate. Aside from incorporating probiotic and digestive enzyme supplements into my diet, I’ve also began to cook with some ingredients that naturally include these things – like kimchi.

This recipe may not be the most photogenic but it’s one of my new favorites. I would never call myself a vegetarian – because let’s be serious, some meat dishes are too good to pass up – but I’ve been making a conscious effort to eat a primarily vegetarian diet. That means, lots of veggie burgers!

My constant craving for Mexican food has gotten me to think outside the box and come up with some filling, easy-to-make recipes. Any quinoa bowl makes me happy, but this one is particularly delish.

While scrolling through Pinterest (which is how most ideas typically come about) I saw cakes with shapes baked into them; hearts, stars, even panda bears. It intrigued me and I thought, what better time to bake a heart-shape into a cake than Valentine’s Day?

As Valentine’s Day approaches and recipes for red velvet everything begin to flood the internet, I figured I’d contribute. Red velvet happens to be one of my favorite flavors so the fact that I haven’t shared this cupcake recipe is a bit silly. This recipe is classic and although you may stain all of your fingers red with food coloring, the result will be delicious and absolutely worth it.
