I’m always on the hunt for new running music.
If you see me running and want to get my attention, wave or throw something at me because I am usually in my own little world, sucked into whatever motivational anthem is coming out of my headphones.
Ever since middle school when I first entered the world of mix tapes, I’ve been obsessed with making playlists.
Read MoreIn the last year or so, I've gotten REALLY into tempeh.
It's inexpensive, high in protein, filling, and takes less than 10 min to cook.
If you've never heard of tempeh, it's a fermented soy product commonly used in vegan and vegetarian dishes, oftentimes as a substitute for meat.
Read MoreEarlier this week when I was in New York visiting family and friends, my mom prepared the most delicious salmon.
It consisted of only 3 ingredients and she baked it in the toaster oven which took way faster than using a regular-sized oven.
Because of its smaller size, the toaster oven cooks the salmon much faster which means that dinner is on the table in just minutes!
Read MoreThis is an easy and delicious side dish consisting of only 3 ingredients.
Wanting to try something different and not wanting to make yet another disappointing broccoli dish for this week's lunches, I decided to get fancy and add garlic to my broccoli this time around.
The result? I was not disappointed and I did not reek.
Read MoreThis dessert recipe has turned into one of my favorites. It's TINY and you'll finish it in a couple of bites, but it should satisfy your desire for something sweet and indulgent.
It contains healthy fats to satisfy your cravings and it's low in sugar so it won't trigger an all out sugar binge.
Read MoreI am super excited to announce that my new & improved, re-designed website is finally live! Ahhh!
This site has gone through several iterations since it’s birth in 2010 and last year I found myself completely uninspired to write and publish my thoughts out into the world.
Like, really uninspired. See for yourself and you’ll notice that I published a whopping TWO blog posts in 2016!
Read MoreToday I'm sharing my boyfriend's signature guacamole! It's his favorite dish to make for parties and potlucks. His secret ingredient (missing from the photo below) is the serrano pepper which adds both flavor and heat.
Read MoreMy friend, Christine, told me about this recipe on our walk the other day. I was telling her about how I bought the pre-cooked, ready-to-eat Steamed Lentils from Trader Joe's and didn't know what the heck to do with them. "Emily, you have GOT to try the Lentil Bruschetta Dip. It's a thing now. It's gone viral."
Read MoreThe other night after dinner, I was craving something sweet. Since I don't keep any pre-made sweets at home, I have to make dessert if I want dessert! So with only 4 ingredients, I came up with something simple that I'm going to share with you today.
The portion size is teeny tiny, but just enough to satisfy your taste buds.
What's awesome is that this dessert is high in fat and protein (so it'll fill you up) and it's cleanse-friendly (so you won't feel bloated or experience a sugar hangover afterward).
Read MoreI'm a total lightweight when it comes to alcohol.
I've always had a super low tolerance (which has gotten even lower with age) and these days I rarely drink at all.
Even at the height of my high school and college "partying" days, I physically could not consume more than 2 drinks in an entire night, no matter how hard I tried. However, I didn't let this deter me from going out and being social.
