Turning on the oven is awful during summer, so these no-bake cranberry almond chia granola bars are my go-to to prep on the weekends for a busy week ahead. I really hate how much sugar is packed into store-bought granola bars, and these no-bake granola bars seriously couldn't be healthier and easier to make.

With my unusual schedule that frequently doesn't allow me to stop for a full meal, I need sustenance on the go that's nutritious and packable without...

Discovering the existence of nut milks last year was a game-changer. I had never warmed up to soy milk very much, so having a dairy-free milk alternative was awesome. I remember when I stumbled upon...

About a year ago, I was feeling tired and found myself procrastinating the outdoor run I was planning on doing that day. Just as I was mindlessly browsing online, someone up there sent me a sign and...

Everyone knows I love a good motivational quote and inspiring words. I live for the cheesy. But there are two sides to this particular hashtag coin...

A solid chunk of the gym population does not warm up sufficiently or even at all before they get into their training. I get it, time is money, and if you only have an hour to squeeze your workout in, it's better to allot that time to the real "work" and meat and potatoes of the workout, right?

Actually, you'd be better off cutting into your workout time. Why? There are several reasons you should always warmup before you workout...

Growing up with two aunts and a grandma who loved to cook, I was never in shortage of good food. More specifically, good food that was always styled and plated beautifully...

Cooking seafood can be incredibly intimidating. That's why I always avoided it making it at home and because it made...

My go-to during busy weekdays are bowls- super easy to combine things to get my balance of macronutrients I need, while also giving me a chance to use up all ingredients in my fridge before they expire. Usually... 

Apparently, July is National Ice-Cream month. Not sure who declared it as such, but I'm not arguing. Whenever ice-cream is mentioned, I always think of one of my best friends, MC. Over a year ago, she...

There’s a fine line that you must tread between giving up easily because you don’t want to or know how to go through the struggle, and...

There are some people who have serious peanut butter addictions- I am this way about almond butter. Or just generally almonds. I'm pretty sure if you search...

Sometimes I get strange ideas while I'm cooking and decide to try something random. When I first got my julienne slicer to make zucchini pasta, I was also about to roast some sweet potatoes. After...

Here's the thing. I think that the gym is a safe haven for people to do whatever they want- it is a place where you can go to blow off steam, work hard, and...

Guac, guac, guac. Never enough guac. I wouldn't hate it if I had to live on a guacamole island and throw guacamole parties all day. For someone who can't even breathe around cilantro, I love all...

Shakira Shakiraaaa. All jokes aside, be prepared to see the word "hip" a lot in this long post. I feel the need to address the entirety of a post to my hip, as it has been the large...

My sister and I are what you could call "condiment killers." Growing up in the nineties in Orlando, Florida made fast food like...

On those really hot, humid NYC days, all I want to eat is something refreshing and light for lunch. Enter zaru soba: a dish comprised of...

2-ingredient pancakes, say whaaat? Best thing to make with over-ripe bananas aside from banana bread. When I first saw this recipe on Instagram, my first thought was, "that's total crap. There is no way you can make anything remotely pancake-like with two ingredients." After seeing which two ingredients they were...
