This isn’t the first time I have gushed over my love of sushi on the blog. Some throwback posts here and here if you’re feeling nostalgic. Sushi has been my favorite food for as long as I can remember. In recent years it has been all about the sashimi. (I will have rice every now … More Nobu + Hara Hachi Bu
Summa summa time! Hands down my favorite time of the year. Everyone relaxes a bit (which I def need to do), the days are longer, and there is a feeling of freedom and adventure in the air. When it’s hot outside and beach days are on the horizon, my go-to snack or meal becomes the … More Lemon+Mint Summer Smoothie
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
Hey guys! Where did February go?! I feel like I was just celebrating Valentine’s Day and now I’m getting stoked for Spring Break. I don’t have any exciting travel plans yet, but San Diego seems to be a top vacation spot anyway, so do I really need to leave??? Spoiled, I know. If anyone is … More Cauliflower Rice Kimchi Bowls

I decided to shake it up and use my fave olive, the castelvetrano. It is light, buttery, nutty, and almost a bit “green” in flavor. It’s … More Boujee Olive Tapenade
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.

Tomorrow (February 2) is Crepe Day! In France, this holiday is actually called La Chandeleur. In case you are interested in the history and not just the crepes, it’s a religious holiday that marks the day of the presentation of baby Jesus to the temple. There are also some parallels to our Groundhog Day, where … More Matcha Crepes with Matcha Cashew Creme
Today’s post is a fun one! (I know “date paste” sounds a bit questionable, but bear with me). It’s a quick, easy recipe that literally anyone can make. Honestly, it is next to impossible to make this wrong. All you need are Medjool dates (truly nature’s candy, as they are quite sweet and almost caramel-y), and water. … More Sweet and Easy Date Paste
Hello, hello hello! It has been raining a whole lot in SoCal lately, which has me reaching for the biggest cup of tea, cozy socks, and all the blankets. Does anyone else feel like snuggling up with a good book and an oversized sweater when it’s raining out? Don’t ask me to be productive, because … More Spearmint Tea: Major Skin Saver
