Summer is almost here which means my blender is going to endure a lot more work as I put together a collection of NEW and REFRESHING milkshakes, smoothies, and smoothie bowls like this one. The recipe below is one I adopted a couple months ago as a frozen dessert treat. Don't get me wrong—I love [...]
The other night I was doing normal quarantine things like going through old boxes of school work because everyone saves past assignments and handouts, right?! I'm joking. I know this is not a normal phenomenon, which is why I decided I should probably sort through the weird attachment I have with past reading assignments, statistic [...]
There's something so enchanting about cutting into a beet and seeing the varied shades of color and detail. I personally love red beetroot. Not just for its stunning look, but for its outstanding health benefits too. Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning if you decide to make a purchase through one of my [...]
I’ve always believed the best way we can learn is through the stories of others. After committing to eating disorder recovery, the number one thing to kickstart my journey was hearing how women near and far from me had learned to see themselves in a new way and break free from their disordered behaviors.

I know it seems a little funny to be creating a meal prep recipe, being that most of us are in quarantine right now, however, others of us aren't. My boyfriend, for example, works as a first responder and doesn't get any days off. There are doctors, mailmen, small business owners, and grocery store employees [...]

I took this dish to a family gathering and nobody even knew it was vegan or gluten-free until I said something! I had everyone in that house fooled [...]

It's been snowing hard in Eastern Oregon the last few weeks and to my surprise, overnight oats and smoothie bowls haven't sounded as good as they normally do. I've been wanting warm and hearty meals that don't instantly make me cold after eating them. I've also been on an egg and almond butter kick lately...which isn't [...]
In 2018, one of the things I set out to do in the new year was to read more. I find activities like reading and coloring a way for me to calm down, detach from the world, and still feel "productive" while resting. Yet, the activity of reading often gets pushed aside when I'm busy, tired, [...]
It's easy to make the holidays about things they weren't ever meant to be about. Thanksgiving becomes all about Black Friday shopping and Christmas becomes a whole lot of stress over gift-giving—two holidays that were never supposed to be about materialism, consumerism, or worry. During this time of year, I think it's tempting to make [...]
