Here goes nothing: Overnight Oats edition

~I started working out in March, which had been going well so far, but I need to balance it out by eating a little healthier. And when I think about healthy eating, overnight oats comes to mind. Different recipes for overnight oats have been blowing up my Pintrest feed as of late, and I caved…

It’s all Greek to me

~Lately I've been trying to eat a little healthier, and what could be healthier than Greek yogurt? I've never been that big a fan of Greek yogurt, mainly for its texture and distinct taste, but I was willing to give it another try. And I'm glad I did! It started about a week ago when…

Just Checking In

~Hello my little sprouts! ❤️ I hope everyone is trying to stay healthy and happy as we continue to navigate through this obstacle course called life (especially Covid-19). Today I wanted to share with you what I’m currently working on and plans for the future! Last weekend I went to a wedding with a friend…

Beyond guac: discovering the versitility of avocados

~Avocados have long been associated with being part of a healthy diet, due to its abundance of healthy fats and other essential nutrients. This green fruit has surged in popularity in the past few years, so much so that it has its own niche brunch item: avocado toast. To be honest, I was skeptical about…

Sickness Saga part 4: Respect your Elderberries

~It's the conclusion of the epic Sickness Saga (and my sickness in general)! Yay! Thanks everyone for reading, I'm glad to know that I haven't grossed y'all out completely haha. While suffering with cold #2 last month, a co-worker suggested I try elderberries. She swore by it saying it helped alleviate her cold symptoms quicker…

Enter the Dragon (fruit)

~On my last trip to the grocery store (Mariano's, my favorite!) I went home with items I had on my list and a few that weren't. One of those was a dragon fruit. As strange as it was sitting in my cart next to the dried apricots and packages of Noosa yoghurt, there were good…

Everyone deserves a Fair Trade

~The concept of Fair Trade seems like common sense, at least to me it does. When you buy certain products with the Fair Trade symbol, producers in developing countries are paid a fair wage and provided a safe working environment. I first learned of the Fair Trade concept years ago at church of all places.…

Ghee Whiz

~As I mentioned in my Thrive Market post, I had no idea what ghee was until it arrived at my house a few days ago. It's actually a form of clarified butter that's as nutritionally rich like coconut oil. During the boiling process, the milk fats are removed which makes it more digestible to those with…

Culture Clash: Noosa vs Yoplait

~Yogurt, one of my favorites ^_^ I love to eat it with breakfast or as a healthy snack.  It's rich, creamy taste, an endless combination of flavors, with the added goodness of probiotics?! What's not to be happy about? I've always been a Yoplait kind of girl, but a tasty newcomer is giving Yoplait a…

Making Peace with Sweet Potatoes

~As kids, we were told to eat our vegetables. One of those vegetables I was told to eat were sweet potatoes. The other one was green beans, but that'll be for another post entirely. I was never a fan of sweet potatoes growing up, not only because they were orange, but also because I thought…
