Hookay so... my Instagram semi-exploded the other day when I posted a photo of my pregnancy-induced pasta salad-a-thon. I think it's a combination of everyone being giddy with excitement over spring and summer produce breaking us out of our winter rut as well as the fact that pasta is [let's fa
I made for the first time a two ingredient pancake! This recipe is simply two eggs and one banana! Pop in a blender to make it smooth, add a 1/4 cup of batter to a griddle and the pancake was born! I can’t give credit to whomever created this recipe, it’s everywhere in the blog world and I

Ever since I could remember, I didn’t really like jalapeño poppers. I don’t even know why. I actually love jalapeños but for some reason, the minute someone said “jalapeño poppers”, I was completely turned off.
I do make different variations of jalapeño poppers from time to
Despite the fact that a good number of us are still relying on our heater for warmth, it's SPRING, glorious spring! I've always wished that the first day of this much-awaited season fell on April 1st. That way, mother nature can sneak in an epic "Oh, you were expecting spring? APRIL FOOLS!" w
Warm tomatoes kissed with the sun epitomize summer for me. I love seasonal tomatoes so much that I won’t eat them any other time of the year and when I do…I want them to shine. Favorites include this tomato pie and this salad with mozzarella, tomato, avocado and pine nuts. Still, I think this

In college, my personality type changed. According to the Meyers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, I went from an INFP to an INFJ.
