Yogurt is tough. There is usually an abnormally high sugar content that, frankly, goes unnoticed by most of us. Before Green Valley Organics, I had not had yogurt in years. It used to serve as a good probiotic for me because I am pretty bad at keeping up with taking pills. Green Valley is awesome because… Continue reading The Best Dairy Free Yogurt
Udi’s gluten free pizza crust (found in Whole Foods in the frozen section) is the epitome of one of my most significant blog staples: only share gluten-free foods that could fool you into thinking they aren’t. That includes no gluten-free products that secretly contain cardboard as it’s main ingredient. To those companies, why try to point out our differences… Continue reading Margherita Pizza

Fashion Tip: A trick to keep in mind about mixing prints: my… Continue reading Racerback Neutral Striped Dress to go with any Season
There is nothing worse than coming home to your favorite pair of brown sandals scattered in pieces all over the ground. I pretty much dropped to my knees and let out a long and woeful, “Noooooooooooo!” I may or may not have tried to tape my beloved sandals back together..Damn dogs. Since then, it has… Continue reading The Perfect Summer Sandals
This basil pesto pasta salad is the best thing I could come up with to combat this insanely humid Texas heat. It is absolutely unbearable. I had soup the other day, because I love soup year round – don’t judge me- and I couldn’t even sit in my kitchen and enjoy it without sweating bullets.… Continue reading Basil Pesto Pasta Salad
Adapted from Natasha’s Kitchen, we made this gluten and dairy free summery dessert to be blissful. It is blueberry season, so when’s a better time to go out and go pick you some fresh blues?

Never have I been one to seek thrilling, adrenaline-spiking adventures. Call me dull, but I have never been sky diving, dungeon dropping, hang gliding – or anything of the sort! It just does not appeal to me to do anything for that heart-racing “rush.” Perhaps the reason for that is a simple explanation: fear. That term itself, however, is considerably more… Continue reading Tamari Chicken & Quinoa Bowl
Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is taking the time to appreciate our veterans and those who serve our country.

Great… Continue reading Cashew Butter on Toast
