Long live the flour tortilla — the perfect fluffy vehicle for all delicious foods desiring to be swaddled. Of course, these days gluten and flour aren’t always the popular choice. I’ve opted for corn tortillas only to longingly stare at someone’s traditional burrito, dreaming of the pure bliss that is experienced with each bite. Nothing else […]
‘Tis the season for everyone to be sick. Seriously—it’s a war zone out there full of aggressive germs with no mercy. I’ve been personally fighting off a mini sinus infection, and knew I could knock this out through good food, a ridiculous amount of neti pot-ing, and homeopathic approaches. I’ve been pounding my sinus […]
I would happily eat ice cream everyday for the rest of my life. If I could deal with dairy. But I can’t, which used to make me incredibly sad. So sad that the ice cream maker that arrived as a wedding present last year almost seemed like a cruel joke. That is, until I decided […]
My Sweet Tooth’s Hero! I’m more of a savory person than sweet, but when my sweet tooth aches, it aches hard! I keep chocolate bars around for those hankerings, but sometimes they just don’t hit the spot. I need something more purposeful. An actual dessert with a spoon instead of breaking off […]
Pantry Pasta to the Rescue! I had a full morning with very little fuel. I kicked off the day by teaching a local class for Under Armour at Belk, followed by a martial arts conditioning and sparring class that had me resembling a ripe, drenched tomato by the end of class. I ran a few […]
Different Than the Real Thing, Baby! . . . .and different is a good thing! I’ve gotta say, I’m in a pretty committed relationship with my spiralizer. Dr. Will Cole has me off grains for a while as we work on strengthening my digestion, so I’ve been replacing my deep affinity towards pasta with veggie noodles […]
Meaty Meatless Tacos! I was recently getting my lashes done with the amazing Daniella Allen out of Charleston, SC. I basically lay there for an hour or so with my eyes closed, so we have ample time to talk about anything ranging from family life, travel, to recipes. She was going on and on […]
The Best of Two Worlds I was recently in New York speaking at an event for my management company. It was an amazing event with their fantastic clients (aka powerhouse women and athletes) followed by a delicious meal at my favorite place on earth (well, on my top 10 list): ABC Carpet & Home. We ate […]
☽ Chocolate Cherry Moons ☾ It’s summertime and that means CHERRIES! I love these little bombs of flavor in both sweet and savory situations, but was feeling an urge to satisfy my sweet tooth. Everyone loves a good chocolate dipped strawberry, but what better way of saying upgrade then dipping cherries in this gorgeous ganache with […]
Breakfast of Champions! I love smoothies. I think toast is the perfect vehicle for nut butters, honey and jams. I get a little emotional over waffles and clap my hands at the mention of brunch. Breakfast cuisine is always a hit with me, but what about when you want to switch it up? I often […]
