Let’s face it: you can’t shoot everything with natural light. Since I bought my DSLR, I’ve shot everything in natural light. However, with a 9-5 full-time job, this means I must stay in the house on weekends to cook and blog. As you can imagine, this is pretty exhausting. It’s not just that I panic […]

It’s been a long day. The work day didn’t finish until 7 p.m., and the traffic on my way home was backed up. Then I went to the gym and then grocery shopped, cooked dinner, took pictures, showedered, and am now writing this blog post. It’s now 11:22 pm. It’s a little overwhelming to blog […]

Today, let’s discuss phobias. My phobia is bugged. They are disgusting. They are disgusting. They can kill me, I think. It’s absurd, but I can’t stop myself. I wouldn’t say I like spiders in particular, and especially those that live on the white walls of my bedroom. There was once a spider that was attached […]

A shrimp sandwich loaded with avocado and spicy heat! It is so wonderful that today is Friday. It’s not just because it is the end of the week or because I can sleep in tomorrow rather than being stuck in LA traffic. Jason will be coming home tomorrow, too! I haven’t been able to see […]

This pesto is so easy to make, and the pasta has a lot of flavor. Perfect for busy weeknights. Yesterday, I was off work, so I spent my day batch cooking for the remainder of the week. It’s been so long since I have had a day out during the week. I forgot what a […]

Let’s first discuss gym etiquette. I go to the gym 6 to 7 times a week. As much as I enjoy doing the elliptical and watching Dexter while I work out, I find it increasingly irritating to go back to the same gym every day. 1. Please refrain from wearing heavy perfumes or colognes. Inhaling […]

Quinoa is a wonderful substitute in this protein-packed veggie “fried rice”! It has so many amazing health benefits with its abundance of protein, unsaturated fats, and essential vitamins and minerals, and it even helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer (according to Eat to Defeat). Plus, I love the taste of it! [&

This hearty sandwich made lighter with Greek yogurt, is one of the fastest and tastiest meals that you will ever have. I hope you all had a great weekend! I spent my weekend in San Francisco, visiting Jason and attending the 4th Annual Foodbuzz Food Blogger Festival. The Saturday night gala at the California Academy of […]

This sandwich is not only healthy but also delicious! PROMISE! It’s one of my favorites (and the easiest – duh!) When I am in a hurry, this is one of my favorite (and easiest – duh!) You can make a delicious and healthy snack with leftover rotisserie poultry, Greek yogurt, grapes, and apples. You can […]

An easy and quick cheesy macaroni bake that everyone will love! Remember those Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins that I posted the other week? The batch was 15 muffins. I ate three before the photo shoot but asked Jason to take the rest to school to avoid temptation. When I asked Jason how his friends received his cupcakes, […]
