It’s November already?! Wellll then I guess it’s safe to say we are in autumn-mode, the holiday season, whatever you want to call it. I have kind of been in denial and just trying to milk summer for as long as possible, but I’m not so sure that will last much longer, cuz ya know, … More Acorn Squash Almond Crumble
Well hello there! Time has passed by and spring is here! I had a very relaxing two weeks of spring break, and along with refraining from any academic activity, I seem to have also taken a brief vacay from posting on B&B. The creative juices and inspiration are flowing again, and boy oh boy do … More Almond and Olive Stuffed Squash Blossoms
I love dishes that can work as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Even better if said dish only takes one pan to make and you can eat it straight out of the pan, because why dirty another dish? Especially if it’s brunch on a weekend and you just cannot be bothered to do any more dishes than necessary. This recipe … More Mediterranean Egg Skillet
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and whether you are celebrating solo, with gal pals, or a special someone, a sweet #treatyoself doughnut is in order. Nothing says “I love you” like a delicious, homemade doughnut, am I right? When I made these, every time I took a bite, I was like “Yasss, slay, … More Heart Beet Red Velvet Doughnuts
HIIIIII! One of my favorite things to eat (and I guess everyone else’s, too, based on the mass amount of social media posts) is a smoothie bowl. They are quick, easy, and so dang delicious. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, it doesn’t matter because the smoothie bowl has your back…er, stomach. Now you may be asking yourself, … More My Ride-or-Die Green Smoothie Bowl Base
Amongst all the stress that gets thrown at us this season-holidays, shifts in the weather, school and work deadlines- (I know, I just began to admit to myself that summer is definitely over), our bodies can take some major blows. All that stress causes oxidative damage and inflammation, which truly is the root cause of most diseases. However, … More Winter Antioxidant Smoothie
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
By now, I’m sure you have heard of “spiralized” vegetables. If not, a quick search on the internet or Pinterest will clue you in. Basically, using a spiralizer can turn pretty much any vegetable or fruit into… yep, you guessed it, spiral shapes! I have this Paderno Spiralizer, and I love it, because it has … More Spiralize all the Veggies: Stir-Fried Zucchini Noodles with Pan-Seared Scallops
Life gets crazy-busy sometimes (ok, maybe all the time). When you get hit with an intense schedule, what do you tend to reach for to fuel yourself? A cup of coffee? A candy bar? Do you sit at your desk and nosh on chips instead of an actual meal? Today I wanted to give you … More Enoki and Salmon Soup
