Better than Take-Out Beef & Broccoli It’s Wednesday afternoon- You don’t want to cook, you’re craving Chinese food & don’t want to pay for San Francisco’s high take-out costs, & most importantly you have an agreement (with yourself) that you can only buy take-out on the weekends. You also cannot leave the apartment because the…
Cinnamon Sugar Soft Pretzels Anyone else having a case of the Mondays? Dessert was extremely necessary tonight- hence these cinnamon sugar pretzels. This was my first attempt at making a pretzel and I’ll be honest, shaping them is not the easiest, but they are very fun to make. They are a bit time consuming and…
Strawberries & Cream Pretzel Pie In my opinion, one of the best parts about summertime is the sweet summer berries. Typically I like making berry tarts, but I was craving something creamy- yet tart, and also sweet- yet salty. This recipe is yet again inspired by my favorite, Half-Baked Harvest. If the thought of making…

Raspberry Scones You ask, I make. These scones were a request as a birthday present and I was happy to take on this challenge because I will be making these much more often! They are scrumptious. I haven’t been the biggest fans of scones in the past because they are typically super dry so I…
Shrimp Tacos with Black Beans and a Mango Pico De Gallo This recipe was inspired by my workout plan through Tone It Up and has easily become one of my FAVORITE recipes. It is delicious. If you don’t like shrimp, choose any type of fish you like! Taco Ingredients: Serving size: 6 tacos 3 (or…
When I make salads, the ingredients typically consist of what random items I have in my fridge/pantry & that is how this yummy salad was created. For those of you who think fruit doesn’t belong in a salad, I urge you to just try it. I promise it will be worth your while. Salad Ingredients:…
Healthy-ish Blueberry Scones I’m not going to lie to you, the “healthy-ish” with this recipe is because you MUST pour melted butter on top of these scones as soon as they come out of the oven. It is a requirement. Required by me. Not really, but I HIGHLY recommend it. Also, there’s flour and sugar…
