While this isn’t an original recipe, it’s a recipe that I think is delicious and healthy enough I just had to share it with you guys! Every Wednesday I volunteer at my school’s Student Nutrition Club table at a local farmer’s market, and it’s always a lot more fun and interactive with market-goers when we…

giving thanks.
I have a confession to make: I didn’t start my Thanksgiving out very thankful. If you’re close to me, I can guarantee that over the past few days you’ve heard complaints on the fact that I had to work yesterday and this morning, Thanksgiving morning. As the holiday grew closer, more and more friends and…

Tangerine Limeade
Recently I was offered the opportunity to review a Tervis Tumbler from the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program. I jumped at the opportunity, because I actually grew up with these cups and remembered how amazing they are! I grew up in Sarasota, Florida, and Tervis Tumblers were (and still are!) manufactured in North Venice, Florida, very close…
This Just In
Hey peeps! (Oh yes, pulling out the "peeps".) Nothing too special going on around here, just the same old, same old of school, tests, work, volunteering, and always working hard, hard, hard! No complaints though, I really love being busy, I love what I’m learning and I love the life I’m creating for myself! I…
Things Around the Web
Dear Pinterest, Thank you for introducing me to lovely pinners around the world who show me things I had no earthly idea of. Exhibit A: I did not know that if I rubbed the two sliced sides of chopped cucumber ends together, that a white foamy substance would be produced that apparently draws bitterness out…

Vanilla Bean Baked Pears
KISS: Keep It Simple (Silly) Sometimes it’s the simplest things in life that are the best, right? Taking an extra hour in bed relaxing in the sunshine creeping through the blinds, a hike through the woods, a simple roast chicken, an exceptionally bendy yoga class, a hug at the end of a rough day, etc….
Visionary Body Image
I have always been a big proponent of setting tangible, concrete, specific goals. It’s something I’ve done since I was little to having it be part of a former job. I even remember in high school hanging out in the backyard one summer with my sister, and my dad coming out back to encourage us…
