What We Should Account For in Food More Often, But Probably Don’t (Hint: it’s not fiber or added sugar)
Well folks, it’s time to celebrate: Happy 100 Years of Popularized Calorie Counting! Yep, calorie counting propelled in prominence beginning in the post-war era during the 1920s, though the existence of the calorie was discovered long before. Ever since we began viewing the numbers on our food labels and instructed to pay more attention to…

In Honor of National Ice Cream Month…
…in general, it is TREMENDOUSLY challenging for me to select one favorite dessert. Coffee cake any day. Mango sticky rice until I die. A whole plate of chocolate chip cookies will win me over more quickly than a diamond ring. Peanut butter chickpea blondies….OOF. Having said that, ice cream holds an incredibly special place in…

Cauliflower Rice Sushi (healthy, vegan, and gluten free)
Put me on “My Strange Addiction” because I am officially obsessed with cauliflower rice sushi. Granted it has been a while since we’ve had cauliflower rice in our kitchen…same with raw and crunchy almond butter. By that, I mean it’s been a day. I’m suffering. Sushi tends to be quite expensive and often quite modest…

Lazy But Gloriously Delicious Meal Ideas
Let me break a stereotype about us foodies. Not all of us like to cook. In fact, a lot of foodies don’t really like it, or alternatively, a lot don’t really know how. Some people are miracle-workers and can put random ingredients in a bowl, mix it up, and it literally belongs in a five-star…
