PORK AND ASPARAGUS WITH HOISIN SAUCE
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 […]
SCAMPI LEMON PEPPERS SHRIMP WITH ORZO
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 […]
TEXICAN BURGER
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 […]

Sloppy Joes with Avocado and Fried Egg
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 VEGGIE “FRIED RICE”
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! [&
