Chocolate Chip Matcha Energy Balls

I was rolling up some matcha energy balls in my mom’s kitchen before having dinner with my parents and grandparents the other night. I had to beg my mom to be my taste tester. She even said, “why would anyone want those?” I’m not really sure why she was so nervous. After taking a bite…

Healthy Hot Chocolate

My sister is obsessed with hot chocolate and I’m obsessed with eating and drinking things out of her ceramics (almost all my photos are taken in her bowls or mugs). I invited her over the other night for dinner and hot cocoa. Thankfully, I tested this recipe beforehand since she’s quite the chocolate snob. It…

Teriyaki Salmon Macro Bowl

Teriyaki Salmon Macro Bowl

If you haven’t caught on yet, I pretty much will eat anything out of a bowl. My little sister, Grace, makes these awesome ceramic bowls and I just can’t get enough of them. The day she gets her own place and takes them back is going to really end my cooking career. I guess you…

Teriyaki Sauce

After finding out I am allergic to soy, I got pretty bummed about my stir fry dishes. How would I manage without my Bragg’s Liquid Aminos? Well, my worries were answered. My friend, Jill, is also allergic to soy and I went to her in total distress asking what to do. Okay, that’s a little…

Spotify Playlist Collaboration Comradery

One of those things that gets me out of the bed in the morning and keeps me up at night is the collaborative playlists I make with a few buddies on Spotify. As a yoga instructor, listening to the same songs again and again can get a bit exhausting. About every two months or so,…

Cashew Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

I was known in college as “Mama Ridge.” This was probably in part due to the fact that I made chocolate chip cookies nearly every day. I try to avoid gluten and dairy as much as possible so to be honest, I have probably made chocolate chip cookies once or twice in the last three…

Almond Meal

I started making my own almond milk a few years ago and haven’t turned back since. Blending up a batch decreases your waste consumption, increases the freshness, and gives you the ability to know exactly what is going into your body. For a while, I didn’t really know what the heck to do with all…

Hemp Milk

Hemp milk is the most simple milk to make on your own. Unlike many nut/seed milks, you do not need to soak, shell or strain in this recipe. Hemp milk can be used in your smoothie bowls, oatmeal, energy balls, and lattes. You can also just drink it like you would regular milk. Learn more about…

Blue Majik Latte

I stumbled upon the most darling traveling merchant. Dani rides this bike setting up her Joyride Organics shop all around the city! She offers free samples of mushroom tea, sells beautiful soaps, Vital Proteins collagen peptides, and more. Follow her on Twitter to find out where she is next! One of my health practitioners mentioned…

Butternut squash Kale mac and cheese

Butternut Squash and Kale Mac and “Cheese”

This time of year makes you want to get super hygee. If you’re unfamiliar with this word, think of warm wool socks by a wood fire, curled up with a cup of hot tea. It’s a Danish word that is sweeping its way across the United States. There are foods that have this same cozy…
