Cinnamon Infused Quinoa with Spiced Pumpkin, Spinach and Goat Cheese. Roasted Brussels Sprouts.Life is beautiful. It may seem challenging, trying and frustrating at times, but it is always beautiful. In the past week I have had three very unique and meaningful conversations with an insightful co-worker, an old friend and my mom surrounding the theme [...]
When you have ricotta, you’ve got to make frittata. Or at least that’s how I feel. Behold, Pumpkin Curry Frittata. Pumpkin Curry Frittata with a side of Apple I wanted to go for a run today after work. It has been awhile and I was feeling rather antsy. The second I walked in the door, [...]
“Mom knows best!” I feverishly fought this phrase throughout my teenage years. I was convinced that in my 13-years of life, I had more insight into the ways of the world than she did. I was always wrong, of course, and met with a big “I told you so!” with the expectation to listen next [...]
