Pin this recipe for later! Carrots + oranges + lemon + ginger root + turmeric root = liquid sunshine. I mean, it's straight goodness. An instant mood booster. This juice recipe is sweet, tart, and with a slight "bite" from fresh ginger root. You can certainly give it more than a slight bite if you are a ginger lover. Just increase that ginger zing by adding more ginger root. Either way, you're gonna feel better after you drink this. I … [Read more...]

Candied Ginger Scones
I was never a big fan of scones... until last year. If you're ever in Durango, Colorado, be sure and hit up a local favorite: Bread. Their baked goods, breads, and goodies are amazing. Local coffee shops and even the hospital where I completed by dietetic internship stocked their shelves daily with fresh baked Bread goods. This is where my love of scones was born. I was looking for my fav treats at the hospital's coffee shop one day to … [Read more...]

Parmesan Chicken Tenders + GIVEAWAY!
"Would you like some chicken with your ketchup??" Yeah, a co-worker said that to me once. We went out to eat on a work trip and like a little kid, I ordered chicken tenders. (Ok, so I wasn't in the mood for a kale salad. It happens. Even to dietitians.) Apparently, I like a lot of ketchup on my chicken tenders. More than the average person, so I've learned. I'm fine with that. Are you a good protein eater? Eating protein has been a … [Read more...]
Tiramisu
Layer the creamiest, dreamiest, perfectly sweet, rich-yet-light mascarpone cream among espresso + Kahlúa + rum soaked ladyfingers. Douse in cocoa powder. I can't even. This classic Italian Tiramsu is to. die. for. It's literally perfect. I want to eat it everyday. My mom's friends are the most thoughtful, creative people ever. They threw the most perfect and personalized bridal shower for me almost three years ago. (Time flies!! Was it … [Read more...]
Candied Yams and Plantains
I can't stop thinking about this dish. I've been craving it since it was gobbled up. I served this as an alternative to traditional candied yams at Thanksgiving this year. This dish will NOT be exclusively served for Thanksgiving my house! I can't wait to make it again. Have you cooked with plantains before?? I love them for their variety and nutrition. Variety because I get bored always eating the same 'ol thing. Don't you?? Think of … [Read more...]

4-Minute 2-Ingredient Homemade Creamy (or Crunchy!) Peanut Butter
Add peanuts then salt to food processor. Blend for four minutes. Bam, peanut butter. I mean, really. Does it get any easier? C'mon. Don't believe me? I made a video for you just in case you doubted me. And because videos are fun. This one has bloopers at the beginning AND the end. Cause bloopers and laughing are the best parts. Why skimp?? (Don't forget the rest of the post below the video!) … [Read more...]
Creamy Avocado Basil Sauced Spaghetti
Avocados are oh so trendy. I really feel like they're "cool". Eating them, taking pictures of them... it's like a universally loved and accepted food right now. I really feel like if an avocado was in high school, she'd win homecoming queen. So hot right now. They're everywhere: mashed straight up (with a 'lil salt of course) on toast, in guacamole (obbbviously), baked with an egg cracked inside, in smoothies, in faux chocolate pudding, or … [Read more...]
Grilled Pizza Brava
Grilling pizza. Wow, what an addition of flavor to pizza I can't describe. You've GOT to try this. Because I was making pizza dough by hand for the first time, I watched this very helpful video from Food Network. If you're uneasy about making your own dough this will be very helpful and put you at ease! I used the same method in the video. What I liked the most was that I could do it all by hand! I didn't need a mixer. The video doesn't … [Read more...]
Intern Quinoa Salad with Pan Seared Salmon and Balsamic Greens
Prepare yourself. Might be one of my most fav food pics I've taken! If that pic doesn't make you want to eat this you might be blind. What you see above isn't even the completed dish, but it certainly could be a meal on its own! (All that's missing from the recipe is the salmon on top.) If you're fan of plant-based/vegan food, eat your heart out! (Just sub your favorite liquid sweetener in for the 1 teaspoon honey that's in the balsamic … [Read more...]
Kim’s 2-Ingredient Mango Ice Cream
Two ingredients. Frozen mango + coconut cream = the most delicious, creamy, refreshing, amazing, ice cream that's just basically screaming "summatime!!!!" But first let's play a little game. Which one of these is not like the others? Really hard, I know. A bunch of short Italians (four of my cousins with my aunt and uncle) and then this tall, gorgeous, fair skinned, light haired beauty! Well that beauty is Kim. … [Read more...]
Coconut Refresh Smoothie
I'm feeling super inspired today. Well maybe not just today, but lately. My path is getting clearer and clearer despite so many unknowns. Um, ironic much? Is that even the right use of the word ironic? I feel like the other day I heard we use that word incorrectly all the time... anybody else know what I'm talking about? Do you remember when your career path/passion became clear? Are you still figuring it out? No matter where you are, … [Read more...]
Soul Mac
Soul mac and cheese. I learned recently that another term for legit mac and cheese is Soul Macaroni and Cheese. So not mac and cheese from a box. And not my mom's legendary, simple, everyday, staple mac and cheese I grew up eating (which I will share with you at some point). Soul mac and cheese is legit - you thicken milk with a traditional roux (fancy word for cooking flour in fat like melted butter). Then you add cheese. Then you … [Read more...]
