Good bye smoothie bowls, hello oatmeal and…….pudding! Just made with wholesome ingredients and not the weird gelatinous sh*t. I don’t know about you, but growing up as a kid I was never into chocolate pudding. It was like the ugly stepsister of Jell-O, which I didn’t really enjoy that much either. BUT….this is like the sexy … More Chocolate PB Pudding…..with a secret ingredient! (vegan, GF)
It wasn’t until around five days ago when the weather finally started to chillax. I mean, every day was still scorching hot with the sun burning so much that I could fry some eggs on the sidewalk.

I don’t want the smoothie season to be over! I haven’t gotten enough nana ice cream to fulfill my system yet, and by that, I mean a million bowls.

It’s very interesting when I hear people say the following: “I’ll be happy when I get married, have kids and buy a new home when I’m thirty.” “I want happiness!” “I’ll wait until Thanksgiving to be grateful.” My question is…why wait? Why find a reason to worry? Recently, my mother got into a car accident. As … More How to Discover Gratitude
A bunch of people at my school ask me if I cook my own breakfast and lunch. And the answer is: yes! The idea of cooking your own food sounds extremely difficult. It’s so easy to order a meal at a restaurant, take-out, or even just a frozen pre-made meal from the grocery store. But, if … More Why You Should Cook More
Something that I’ve preached strongly for a looooooong time on this blog is that I prefer my sweet potatoes cooked sweet, or dessert-style: with fruit, maple syrup, peanut butter, chocolate, you know what I mean. However, this mind-blowing creation changed my mind. What’s interesting about this cake is my source of inspiration: I dreamt that … More Paleo and GF Sweet Potato Curry Cake (can be vegan!)
