I just discovered ground cherries a couple years ago and they are one of the most exquisite fruits these taste buds have tossed around. Imagine a tropical tomato as you take a mouthwatering bite. The first time I had a ground cherry was from Jerry at Froggy Meadow Farms. He likes to sell really weird…
Meal prepping is something that I try to do pretty much weekly. It’s super helpful for my busy schedule and makes eating healthy way more attainable. I usually make a bunch of quinoa or some other grain and eat it in salads, macro bowls, or in this case, as breakfast cereal. Quinoa is filled with…
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…
I had my first experience with nopales. They’re these cactus pads that taste sort of like a green pepper. One of my yoga students mentioned them to me so I swung into this darling Mexican grocery store next to Mirepoix Wellness Studio after one of my classes. I was craving a little burrito bowl and…
There were a plethora of black beans in my refrigerator I cooked up before I was heading to California. I made some black bean hummus and still had plenty beans left. I snagged some sweet potatoes and cut up the red peppers. I mixed in a little quinoa and made a zesty lime dressing for…

I love to have greens in my meals but my body just does not crave them as much in the winter. I want something that is warming to my body rather than cooling it down. As you know from most of my snapchats, I’m quite the smoothie bowl decorator so of course these buddha bowls…
We’re getting stuffed with this acorn…literally! This acorn squash is filled with a deliciously packed quinoa, pepper, avocado mixture. Quinoa is a great staple to have in a kitchen! It’s alkalizing, meaning it eliminates toxins, such as heavy metals from the kidneys. Quinoa has an amazing nutrient profile and not many people are allergic to…
Quinoa is an awesome dish packed with nutrients. It is technically a seed of a herbaceous plant, not a grain. It supplies a significant amount of protein, which is very rare for a food that is prepared like a grain. The protein is a complete protein, meaning that it contains the nine essential amino acids….
