There are lessons to be learned in blogging. Never go 10 months without opening up your wordpress account — your blog is destined to be broken and not working. It took about 3 hours to get it back up and running — luckily no one stole my domain, the posts were still there, and I […]
Spicy Brussel Sprouts + Pork Tenderloin
This weekend was a blast. After a hellish week at work, we hung out Friday night and rested for a full day Saturday. We woke up and headed to Northern Maryland to kayak with the BF’s sister. Now, I tried to be the voice of reason and convince them today was not the day to […]
Meal Prep Menu for Paleo // Keto Lifestyle
I crushed it this week at meal prep. CRUSHED it. Typically we made salads because it’s easy. And they’re healthy. And they are different every time. There was a point in time where I made taco salads for a month straight. Yeah, they were good, but I can only do so much taco flavored ground […]
Replace Your Mundane Breakfast with Sweet Potato Toast
I was scrolling through the facebook on Friday searching for any reason to not work and I found something. I found something BIG I thought. Epicurious told me to replace TOAST with sweet potato? You’ve got to be kidding me. THE main vehicle used for avocado, peanut butter, butter, jelly, bananas — this can be […]
Bacon Braised Collard Greens + Butter Shrimp
Last week was a bitch. That’s probably why no blogging happened. So sorry about that. But this time I got everything scheduled out and I’m ready. I’m ready for this week. I went in to get my haircut last week and she told me I’m allowed to just pluck out the grey hairs. I don’t […]
30 Days till 30
Well 28. But that doesn’t sound as good. I’ve tried to do the whole “Things I want to accomplish before I hit 30” and then I get busy and don’t do any of them. And who wants to feel like a failure? Answer: no one. But I think I can make a list of a […]
Meal Prep Tips // Tricks
First things first. PLAN. Get a book and write down a menu. Or one item you’re going to make for a week. Just write it down. List out the ingredients. And go to the store. Preferably on a Sunday morning or afternoon with the rest of your neighbors. Buy a bunch of containers. I usually […]
Perfect Salmon + Motivation
Motivation. It’s really hard. Especially in the Summer when every weekend is jammed packed full of fun things that don’t involve working out, eating at home, or sober socializing. I spent the last 6 months focusing on being healthy. Watching what I ate at every meal and getting back into the gym. Then Summer hits […]
Stuffed + Weekend
This weekend I’m heading back to the homeland (Florida) to see some college friends! It’s so hard to make time while you’re #adulting to see friends that don’t live in the same city. But you know those friends that you can not see for months, even years, and nothing changes?? Those are worth keeping and […]
Quick Ribs + Free Time
Not sure if you’ve heard of quick ribs before, but without a grill, smoker, or anything used for typical BBQ inside my apartment, I have to come up with some other options. And spending all day cooking them in the oven is NOT one of them. Do you know how hot the apartment gets with […]
