2018 came with a lot of change right off the bat. The biggest change was moving to a new apartment in a different part of New Orleans with my guy. And as they say, change is not always easy. And in this situation, it was the hardest. Let me paint this picture for you: it’sRead more
This recipe was inspired by my co-worker. She’s a busy mom and always brings pre-packaged lunches from Costco. There’s a line of vacuum-sealed meals called Perfect Fit meals that she ate for a month. Then she got sick of those are started bringing this burrito bowl in a round 10 oz plastic container. She’s beenRead more
I love my big lunch salads. I find it’s really the easiest way to get in multiple servings of vegetables, and I can always mix it up with different dressings, toppings, and ingredients. But, sometimes I tend to make the same salad over and over again. And then I get a little bored. Plus it’sRead more
I’ve always been pretty frugal. I remember working at a cafe in high school and counting my cash tips, being thrilled that I could add $100 to my bank account. Most girls my age would spend that at the mall or the movies, but saving money was more fun for me! Sometimes I wonder ifRead more

This recipe is one I just keep coming back to. That’s how you know it’s good! It actually stemmed from my dietetic internship days, when I was doing my cardiac rehab rotation and trying to teach all these old men how to make ground turkey and chicken breast taste good. It was not an easyRead more
I’ve been doing a ton of cooking lately to feed my hungry boyfriend. He’s basically a human vacuum and really liking everything I cook, but this recipe he really loved! The colors are just beautiful too. This was a really hearty meal and pairs really well with a classic Italian salad. And of course we’reRead more
I’m headed out for a work trip soon and I thought I’d share what have come to be my travel essentials. Life when you’re traveling is usually quite different than life at home, so it’s super important to be prepared for any situation! Make sure you pack these items on your next trip to makeRead more
