Eating healthy while traveling can be tough, but it isn’t impossible. I hate to admit it due to its negative connotations, but I’m a millenial (gasp!) and it is no secret that our generation likes to indulge. What can I say? I definitely fall into that indulgent stereotype that has been slapped onto our age group. It’s very…
Who out there has done the “eat chicken, steamed veggie & brown rice diet”- I am sure that is not the official name but anyone that has dieted in the last 20 years knows what I’m talking about. It’s definitely a healthy option that consists of protein, veggies & grain- but how boring! Am I right?…
Warning: These almonds may lead to addiction because Holy Crap! They. Are. Good. Let’s talk snacks. I have always been a compulsive snacker and in an upcoming post I’m working on I’ll explain how I began to understand that I was reaching for snacks out of habit vs hunger. In my journey to food freedom, I have…
As soon as the weather gets warm soups are off my radar. This is my last attempt before it’s all farmer’s market veggies and grilling the next few months – but in my defense, even with the warm weather quickly approaching this soup is light but full of buttery rich flavor. Just looking at these…
The summer between my junior & senior year of college I lived in Manhattan for an internship. While it was an awesome experience the reality was I was a broke college student at an unpaid internship. At the time I was 21 years old, and wanted nothing more than to live the Sex in the City…
I think I have made it pretty clear that breakfast is by far my favorite meal but when it comes to cuisine, Mexican has the #1 spot. Now, if you can mix the the two together that’s a done deal. (Huevos Rancheros, I’m lookin’ at you). Even though my relationship with food has changed over…
“Oh MY god”, were the words that came out of my mouth after every bite I took of this burger and I’m not exaggerating when I say EVERY bite. If you are like me, sometimes you crave a big, juicy burger and this recipe is king. I have said it before, and I’ll say it…
Sundays are for brunching. It’s now the most trending meal of the day but breakfast has been my favorite for as far back as I can remember. Lucky for me, Fort Collins has some of the best breakfast spots anyone could ask for making it easy to keep up with my love for breakfast foods. The…
In order to become a true Coloradan one must enjoy green chile. Consider it to be the pork tenderloin of Colorado, for all my Iowans out there. Green chile is one of the many things I can thank my boyfriend Will for introducing into my life along with breakfast burritos, UGG Slippers, and the Rocky Mountains;…
I know first hand that starting a clean diet regiment can be daunting. Not only are you worried about dampening your relationship with Hot Cheetos but eating healthy seems expensive, flavorless, and time consuming. While this can be true, it can also be said that it’s only as expensive, boring and time consuming as you…
