Hello! Happy almost-weekend! I’m sitting here with a cup of cinnamon pear herbal tea (seasonal Republic of Tea flavor-highly recommend!), listening to the French indie pop playlist on Spotify. Random? Yes. But it’s got a really fun vibe! When I want to listen to music and concentrate at the same time, I have to listen to … More Healthy Eats in Manhattan Beach
Summer is just around the corner (though I argue Memorial Day is the unofficial start to the season), which means now is the time to start whipping up cold soups. Mad respect if you are one of those people who looooves a piping hot bowl of soup when it’s 80 degrees and sunny (I can’t), … More Creamy Broccoli Soup

I’m here to deliver … More Vegan Carrot Top Pesto

Who’s ready for St. Patrick’s day??? Funny childhood story: every year growing up,my sister and I would place our slippers at the end of our bed the night before St. Patty’s Day. (Disclaimer: we are not Irish in the least bit). In the night, the leprechaun, aka our mom, would stuff our slippers with little … More Shamrockin’ Smoothie

First things first, Happy New Year! I promise I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth!!! The past few months have been so busy. Between Thanksgiving and now, I have taken finals, studied for and taken the GRE, and applied to dietetic internships.

I have to share one of my favorite restaurants with you. No joke, FIG & OLIVE is in my top ten. Every time I get the miraculous opportunity to dine at this restaurant, I find myself on foodie cloud nine. You need to check out one of their locations, like Newport Beach and WeHo here … More FIG & OLIVE
When you go out to a restaurant, it is probably pretty likely that you have a “go- to” item or two in mind before you even have the menu in hand. For me, it is the beet salad.
