BUDGET FRIENDLY HEALTHY-ISH VEGETARIAN MEALS Committing to starting and owning a new business that operates successfully under New Age principles has to be the hardest thing we’ve ever tried to do.  (The two philosophies often conflict!)

I'm so excited to be working with Morton Salt again on a sponsored post to share some yummy cookies! I always finish my cookies with a sprinkling of sea salt, and their sea salt, in particular, vibed perfectly with each of these recipes.      I baked off three kinds of cookies to celebrate our 4th: RED (Rose Rhubarb Almond Thumbprint Cookies-my favorite of the bunch if I had to choose) WHITE (Rum + Coconut Mexican Wedding Cookies) and BLUEberry (snickerdoodles!) All finished with a sprinkling of Morton Salt Coarse Sea Salt finishing salt. We’ll actually be in the air this 4th ..read more

Popping Cava by 3pm on a Sunday and eating bread that's full of delicious personality-- this was how I chose to solidify the beginnings of my 28. Well, this plus an in-depth horoscope reading from the AstroTwins --I'm pleased to announce that this year's forecast looks promising! I've been holding off on eating gluten and sugar. I think it's been something like 52 days, give or take two slip-ups?  I warned you I was taking a break, but something deep in me, maybe a craving, was awakened last week, and I had a flash of insight for how to put away a pint of strawberries--"Ah. I will wrap t ..read more

So lately, things have been feeling just a little bit chaotic, so I set an intention to simplify  things that I DO have control over, including my fridge by downsizing on what I buy, going back to basics, compartmentalizing what I already have, sterilizing old glass jars in my fridge for pickling or other recipes, and asking myself if I "Can Can It." Not only has it made my life feel a little more under control, I feel freed from some of my food waste worries. Morton Salt is super cool and they are who I worked with on this project. They challenged me and everyone else too to start think ..read more

I wanted to share this with you. It's my latest favorite recipe and it's my new favorite way to make cinnamon rolls too--there's a scant sprinkling of cinnamon (and raw sugar) rolled up inside, so technically I am allowed to call them that--and I want that you take a little bite and tell me what you think of all these flavors swirling around in here together.  Flavor Inspiration: Have you ever had miso caramel? It's not my invention, so don't credit me, and I haven't had some since way back sometime in December.  There was a period of time (in between the end of my final day of gra ..read more

YES: I'm not so sure what else to say, except that pretzel shortbread has officially (from my life's perspective) been proven possible. 'Yes' --We can finally exhale thanks to the efforts and diligence of my friends at Lost Bread Co(a Philly-based bread company specializing in all things breads and pretzels). I'm not sure if they are the first alive to invent a solid pretzel shortbread cookie, but they sure as hell executed their version perfectly and theirs is the first I've been blessed to try. So thank you LBC for making the world a little bit sweeter(and saltier) but more importantly ..read more
