Monday: Pasta leftovers Tuesday: Smoothie Bowls Wednesday: Homemade sushi Thursday: Pineapple Fried Rice Friday: Leftovers Saturday: Homemade Pizza Sunday: Fusilli Pasta Monday, Tuesday and tonight (Thursday) went as planned but on Wednesday I finished my shift at Y2 and had to go get Daniel and Oliver from my Mom's house in Matthews so dinner plans went out the window. I had to feed Oliver and his bed time was fast approaching so I called my favorite sushi place, New ... View the Post
Vegan Fusilli Pasta Salad
I love making up recipes from pictures I see on IG or Pinterest but I am so bad at writing down exactly what I do as I go along. I've even had to make the same meal again so that I can write down every step I took. So, I'm sharing this rough recipe today and hopefully you trust yourself enough to just take a dive and throw things in the pan together. You really can't go wrong with cooking, because if you put too many olives in, you can just take them out. It's baking that you really need to ... View the Post
Tropical Smoothie
My heart is on an island somewhere today. I feel like everyone on Instagram is in a tropical paradise somewhere, amiright? We are desperate to go to the beach and want to know your recommendations for best beach vacation spots from the Outer Banks to the Caribbean and Mexico. I want them all! (please) In the mean time, I thought I'd bring the beach vibe to Charlotte today and make my own tropical smoothie. This recipe is sweet, smooth and simple. Tropical Smoothie 1 cup ... View the Post
Cucumber Sandwiches
Liverpool was recently in the Champion's League Final vs Real Madrid (we don't want to talk about it) so we had some friends over to watch the game. I have such good intentions about a big feast and then the reality of life with a baby hits me and I just pull things together last minute. I was hoping to have more "English themed" snacks like my delicious scones with tea and jam but time ran away from me and I just managed to do cucumber sandwiches and my favorite decadent chocolate cake. Luckily ... View the Post
Vegan Taco Salad
My Aunty Cheri introduced me to the wonderful meal that is the taco salad and I was very excited to make a vegan version. It's on our meal plans every week because the leftovers are a must for #momlife and it's not hot and heavy so you can enjoy it outdoors on the deck. Daniel and I took this meal to a friend's house and their 3 year old asked for more before he had even finished his bowl! That just makes a cook's heart melt and I love that it's a great family meal for when Ollie starts ... View the Post
Lemon Hemp Blueberry Muffins
I have never been a "health muffin" person. I used to despise muffins actually. I thought they were the evil step sister to the cupcake (which I love). I guess one of the reasons I never ate them was that I am a breakfast cereal person through and through. I never needed a muffin on the way to school or work as I would always have my cereal religiously each morning. I also never enjoyed fruit in anything like pancakes, cake, and pies until more recently, so it makes sense that fruit in a muffin ... View the Post
Vegan Lactation No-Bake Cookies + My Breastfeeding Journey
There are many hidden mysteries about pregnancy, childbirth and parenting that you have to discover for yourselves. Honestly I do know why we don't talk about them with others who don't have kids, unless they ask: It can be a little scary and overwhelming. I still don't remember my friends having conversations about tearing, sitz baths, crying babies or teething, but I probably wasn't paying much attention anyway. When babies are not on your horizon, anything people say simply falls on deaf ... View the Post
Pineapple Jalapeño Margaritas
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Back in my partying days (aka long, long ago) I had this killer pineapple jalapeño margarita at a little bar in Charleston. I've had many a margarita in my life, so that making my top 3 is saying something. Unfortunately that little bar burned down (womp womp), so that deliciousness has to live on in my memories only. But sometimes you have to make lemons out of lemonade (or margaritas out of fiery ash?), roll up your sleeves, and know that if you want a ... View the Post
Vegan + Gluten-Free Cranberry Cream Cheese Pinwheels
I know what it's like to have nothing to eat at a party. (Or worse-nothing to eat but hummus. ENOUGH WITH THE HUMMUS.) So when I hosted my dear friend SK's baby shower a few weeks ago, I was determined to put together a menu that (almost) everyone could enjoy. I tweaked a few of my go-to party recipes to make them gluten free as well as vegan, and the guests loved it. The most popular items on the menu? Fiesta Bean Dip, Vegan Chickpea Salad w/gluten-free crackers, and these Cranberry Cream ... View the Post
The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush

None of this constitutes medical advice, nor should it be used as an instructional guide for doing the cleanse. If you're interested, check out the full book I link to below and always consult your physician before starting any new diet or exercise program.)
