June is officially here which means for many Summer is only a week or two away! With summer comes warm air, beach trips, vacations, hiking, bird chirping and Summer parties/gatherings. Since most of us have spent the last 1 to 2 months cooped up, it might be a nice change to add a few new decorations of color to your home for the Summer! Adding a pop of color to…

My favorite must-have running items – running journey
I started my running journey last year in December with the goal of running a Marathon by October of 2020. With everything going on in the world right now it looks as though this marathon like my half marathon (which was supposed to be in April) will also be canceled, and truthfully, I am bummed. I was so looking forward to running in these races and pushing myself to see…

A nice slice for breakfast topped with some fresh berries or have a slice to go along side your lunch. Or what about as a mid-day snack during the day or my personal favorite, with every meal! 🙂 This is definitely one of my go to recipes. With Father’s…

Homemade oven baked seasoned sweet potato fries {Paleo, vegan, gluten-free, healthy}
Carbs, carbs, carbs. Carbs are by far my favorite food group (if that’s what it’s called). I normally do a decent amount of running but since this whole self-isolation/quarantine has started I’ve found myself running every single day, which means you really begin to cut into your carb storage. And what is my favorite way to replenish them, by eating lots of pasta and french fries, the healthy way. French…

6 important tips for the Vegan cook and/or baker
Vegan cooking/baking can be difficult, even for the most advanced chef. Sometimes no matter how hard you try the ingredients just do not mix well and you’re left with a dish that tastes terrible.

I ran a half marathon! – running journey month 5
Journey to the Half Marathon It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a running update and I figured since I recently ran my half marathon virtually and checked off one of my running milestones, now would be as good a time as any.

I live in New York so the end doesn’t seem near the end and for many other states/countries, they also have a few more weeks indoors. I’ve recently taken up crocheting as a new hobby.

The ultimate gluten-free baked brie with toasted almonds and cranberries

Ever since then I have been thinking about this dish and finally decided to create it a few weeks ago. I am a huge lover of cheese so my expectations going into this recipe were very high, and it…
