Ciao, blog family! Fun fact: ciao is how people say hello in Vietnamese! From what I experienced, a lot of locals are more abrasive and say, “Ay!” Anyhow, I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted another recap of my trip to Vietnam, but don’t worry, they are ready and they are coming your … More Day 2 in Vietnam: Herbal Medicine Temple
While I adore my spicy eggplant and tofu satay, curry has always been my number one go-to order at any Thai restaurant. Until NOW. Oh Pad Thai–it just screams comfort food. Spicy, sweet, sticky, tangy, and savory comfort food. Before my health journey, I loved to inhale Pad Thai without any utensils! Unfortunately, Pad Thai is most … More Eggplant Pad Thai (healthy + vegan..with a Paleo option!)
With the diversity in our food and the knowledge of macro and micro-nutrients we have at our disposal, it can be extremely puzzling to decide which foods to consume in order to obtain the nutrients sought after. No matter the food item, every single nutritionist, registered dietitian, health coach, fitness trainer, doctor, nurse, holistic practitioner, … More Good Source vs. Bad Source
Happy Saturday, everyone! I am most certainly not sure how January has zipped by so quickly, but are you excited for February?

Bhu Fit Review (vegan and non-vegan bars)
Are you somebody that’s usually very, very, very hard on yourself? I one hundred and ten-percent am that individual who will get so worked up about making even the tiniest slip-up on anything. If I don’t have a good workout, if I have too much dessert one night, if I make a careless mistake on a quiz, … More Being Vegan: It’s Okay to Make Mistakes
Do you want to know how long I’ve tried searching up the actual name of this dish for? FIVE. YEARS. And I still don’t know what the heck this dish is really called. You could arguably say that this is a different take on pad krapow or aka ground chicken with basil, except this is made with ground … More Pea Turkey Bed (high protein + gluten free)
As of now I tell myself it’s going to be scorching hot every single day. To be honest, that’s not always the case, but everything heats up and the sun generally comes out by 11 A.M. at least every other day. The weather is at a certain degree where it’s too hot to enjoy something … More Decadent Chocolate Smoothie Bowl (with a secret ingredient!)
This is a huge staple of Thai cuisine that I’ve been neglecting at Thai places lately. HA-UGE. Satay is actually of Indonesian origin, but its use in cuisine spread throughout Southeast Asia and even parts of the Netherlands. Every country has its own different take on a satay because there really are no barriers as to … More Baked Thai Chicken Satay (Paleo + gluten free)
Below I have written an important eulogy for something very special that I recently lost due to a fatal accident. Throughout the eulogy is a gallery of that subject except for the photo at the very end: This special someone was actually somebody I completely overlooked for years and years. In fact, I’ve never actually formed … More Tuesday Thoughts: A Very Sad Passing…
